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.
Won’t this be fun?
Yes — Of course it will!
Tell me which option you like best and then let’s see what happens!
Basket weave is my top choice, but herringbone is a close second!
Basket weave or herringbone 3 are my faves. 🙂
Basket weave is definitely my favorite!!! It’s not as frenetic looking.
I would like to amend my comment to say that I love the traditional brick pattern, but with a tile frame under the range hood, the basket weave would be a beautiful focal point and you wouldn’t get so much eye movement. Some of the herringbone patterns make me dizzy!
1. Basket weave
2. Herringbone 3
You have such a great eye – that whatever you choose will, I am sure, look fantastic. I personally love the Herringbone 1, and that would be my choice! Good Luck deciding.
