Subway tile<\/a>\u00a0adds a classic look to any kitchen backsplash and is truly a timeless design piece. If you\u2019re considering using this versatile tile for your kitchen backsplash, here are some of the different ways the tile can be laid, each providing its own lovely effect.<\/p>\n

1. Offset Brick<\/h2>\n

With an offset brick pattern, the subway tile is laid as described – like bricks. Also known as running bond, this layout is the way we most often see subway tile displayed, as it\u2019s the most traditional and common.<\/p>\n

\"Vertical

2. Offset Brick Vertical<\/h2>\n

To create a slight twist, while still maintaining the traditional look the offset brick pattern provides, turn the subway tiles 90 degrees so they run vertically. This look is especially appropriate for a more spacious area that has some height and would be perfect for a backsplash design that extends all the way up to the ceiling.<\/p>\n

3. Diagonal<\/h2>\n

For another variation of the running bond, rotate the entire pattern 45 degrees to create a diagonal design. This pattern layout is very dynamic and eye-catching, with a more modern feel.<\/p>\n

4. Stacked Horizontal or Vertical<\/h2>\n

Stacking subway tile horizontally or vertically provides an orderly, symmetrical grid that\u2019s great for those wanting a bold yet minimalist look. This simple and stylish design layout is well suited to smaller spaces.<\/p>\n

\"Herringbone

5. Herringbone<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0herringbone pattern is popular in floor designs, but also makes a wonderful kitchen backsplash design. In this pattern, rows of tile are laid in slanted parallel lines, with the direction of the slant alternating row by row. Subway tile looks beautiful when portrayed in this distinct V-shaped weaving pattern.<\/p>\n

Whichever way you choose to lay subway tile, you\u2019re sure to end up with a kitchen backsplash that you love!
