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!
Basketweave because so many are doing herringbone, although I do love herringbone three as well.
Herringbone 3. The vertical Herringbone would drive me nuts – I would constantly want to “straighten” it (put it horizontal), which is silly, because the one on an angle doesn’t bother my brain near as much. Whatever you choose, I know it will be spectacular.
Basket weave because in 10 years it will feel more classic than old-fad of 2013-14.
Herringbone or herringbone 1 in that order. Any choice will be beautiful!
Herringbone 3!
I think basket weave looks too busy and all those little cuts would drive me insane! 🙂
