White Marble Herringbone Backsplash with White Floating Shelf and Contrasting Kitchen Island
The layout options with subway tiles are various. This contemporary kitchen, for example, chooses to line the walls with a herringbone pattern that poses at 90-angle to each other. And taking advantage of the lack of upper cabinetry, these herringbone pattern subway tiles go up to the ceiling, punctuated by a white floating shelf. Adding to that is the contrasting black-base kitchen island that creates a focal point in the heart of the kitchen zone, while the framed monochromatic prints, black hardware, and personal accessories stylize the countertops and the open shelf.
What Are the Different Ways to Lay Subway Tile?
Herringbone, chevron, running-bond or off-set, and basketweave are the most popular ways to lay a subway tile. In addition to those, you can also stack them vertically or horizontally, which is nowadays an on-trend look.
Classic Subway
The running bond, also known as off-set, is one of the most popular patterns for subway/metro tiles. In this layout option, the rows of tiles are laid on a horizontal axis at a 50-percent offset. In other words, it is ensured that each tile joint aligns with the center of the tile placed above and below it. But how much the tiles are offset varies as well. For example, some are one-third and one-fourth offset, which again provides different looks. This offset pattern in general is used in all kitchen designs, including modern and traditional kitchens. However, recently, the subway tiles are stacked rather than laid in an off-set pattern to establish a more modern look.

Above, the wood range hood is flanked by black suspended shelves that give the kitchen a truly industrial feel. And at eye level, the satin finish subway tiles laid in an offset pattern add enough movement to the backdrop, pairing perfectly with the matte white countertops and creating a well-balanced look.
How do I choose a subway tile pattern?
In todays market, you can find different subway tile layout options. When choosing a subway tile pattern, what you can do is first decide what kind of impact you desire. For example, if you want to play safe and go with a classic look, you can lay subway tiles in an offset or running bond pattern. However, if you are into geometric patterns, herringbone and chevron will give you what you want. But in case you want to create a modern and on-trend look with subway tiles, then stacking them either horizontally or vertically would be a great option.
Additionally, you can also lay subway tiles in different patterns in the same kitchen. For example, traditional kitchens generally go with a subway tile backsplash in an offset pattern. But to create a focal point and highlight the stove zone, they also add a herringbone pattern right above the stove.

Horizontal Stacked
Another way to lay the subway tiles is to stack them horizontally. This is especially helpful if you want to expand the kitchens visual scheme on the horizontal axis.

Can you do herringbone with subway tile?
Subway tiles can be laid in a herringbone pattern. All you need to do is to lay subway tiles in a straight or 90-degree angle herringbone pattern. To put it differently, you can lay one tile vertically and the other one perpendicular to it. By repeating the same pattern, you can cover the whole application area. But you can also lay them diagonally to add more movement and evoke extra interest.

How big should grout lines be for subway tile?
Just like the spacing, how big the grout lines should be for subway tiles depends on the size of the tiles. But the look you aim for is also a determining factor at this point. For example, large grout lines are considered to look more modern. If you are going to use a statement grout color like gold and pink or make a contrast with black or white grout, it would be better to use a big spacer to create a bigger grout line. To create a bigger grout line, you can use 1/4 and 3/16-inch size spacers.
Additionally, if your subway tiles are handmade, you can consider leaving more space between the tiles to account for the irregularities. Apart from those, if you don’t want grout lines to be too visible, you can use small spacers.

How to install subway tile backsplash?
To install a subway tile backsplash, you can start by measuring the application area and ordering the right amount of supply. If you want to play safe, you can order some extra in case something goes wrong.
Preparation
Before starting to lay the tiles, first, clean the wall surface and make sure that there is no bump. If there is any, you can use sandpaper, and after sanding, don’t forget to clean the wall with a soft cloth and remove the residual dust.
The next thing is to cut cardboard of the same size as the backsplash area or any material strong enough to hold up the weight of the tiles. You can lay the tiles on this cardboard to see how they fit just to get a more solid idea about how they will look on the wall. This way, you also see how much you need to cut the tiles that will be placed on the edges. You can also mark the electric layouts on the cardboard and lay the tiles accordingly.
Cutting Tiles
To cut the tiles, you can use a wet saw for cleaner edges. After you are done cutting and your little trial of tile design on the cardboard, you can spread the tile adhesive. To leave even gaps between the tiles, you can benefit from the spacers. Once you are done and the mortar is fully cured, you can remove the spacers.
Now it is time to apply grout. You can get a premixed one to make it simpler for you or just mix it yourself. While applying the grout, just move the float diagonally at a 45-degree angle and make sure that the grout fills the gaps. Clean the excess grout with a damp sponge before it dries. And use a soft cloth to dry the tiles and remove any possible dust and grout.
The last thing you need to do is caulk the gap with a caulk gun between the countertops and backsplash to prevent water or any other liquid spills from seeping through this joint.
