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!
My two cents. I like the basketweave the best because herringbone 2 looks too busy and herringbone 1 and 3, while lovely, might be too trendy. I haven’t noticed anyone doing basketweave so while it’s classic, you’d be ahead of a resurgence. Thanks for asking!
I like the basket weave, but I like order so herringbone is never one I like.
I am a sucker for the simple horizontal, staggered lines. But, if that does not appeal to you, I like 3 second best. Your kitchen is looking so great!
Love the Basketweave. The others are boring or busy looking.
Herringbone 1. Although I think it is funny that you numbered them differently in the two different pics. The Large Herringbone 1.
