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!

    Herringbone 3. It looks great esp from across the room. Can’t wait to see. Are you using a white grout or a light gray?

    Definitely the basket weave because it provides texture, but in a controlled way. A symbol of our naturally chaotic world, with a little illusion of order thrown in. BTW, I love your granite.
