Backsplash design options – chime in

I’m going with a classic, white, subway tile for my kitchen backsplash but I’m going to install it in a cool pattern, instead of  simple staggered horizontal lines.  It’s a large area, about 7′ x 5 1/2′ and I’m tiling the whole thing.  I love the openness here so I’m not putting upper cabinets in but I will add a couple floating shelves.  The electrical cable sticking out of the wall is for under shelf lighting –in case you were wondering. 😉

I’ve sketched out four different pattern and thought it would be fun to let you all weigh in on the decision.

Here’s a larger picture of each design option to look at before you make up your mind.

  1. Love Herringbone 3!

  2. I like Herringbone 2. How would you do the basket weave – by cutting tiles to put in the small square areas? Interesting and unique pattern to be sure!

  3. Herringbone 3 hands down! 1 and 2 look sideways to me and the basket weave looks busy. Have fun!

  4. Herringbone 3 favorite. Basket weave is definitely a country feel.

  5. Such beautiful options, but I’m a member of Team Basketweave. My favorite by far.
