I personally like #1. Low key grout, doesn't stand out, hides any imperfections. Just my opinion obviously!

#2

Too much pattern on pattern already. You don’t want more by using a high contrast grout. #2 gives enough definition without making it into a gridwork.

I like 4, with the almost textile effect of the herringbone. The ungrouted tile is a pretty good preview of what 4 will look like.

I also like 2.

#1 is the most elegant, #2 gives a bit more interest. The other ones are bad

1 or 2

Thanks for the quick responses. trying to post more pictures in different lighting but for some reason they are not uploading.

Definitely 1 or 2

1 or 2 for me too.

1 or 2. The 3rd and 4th one are way too busy.

2. But the only one I wouldn't consider is 3.

I love how 4 looks 3D, I can actually see the chevron as mountains. Not sure I'd like that effect throughout my entire kitchen, it would probably be exhausting.

I like 2 best. 1 is okay. The others are too busy.

1 or 2. Leaning more to 2

2

2, with 1 a close second.

I like #1. 2 would be my second choice. I dont like 3 or 4 at all.

#1 but, IMO, the marble herringbone splash is competing with the counter top.

#2, but #1 is also good

What did you decide? And can you tell me what colour grout was used in example #1 and example #2? I am using a similar tile for my fireplace surround and need to decide on grout colour!

Decided to go with option 2. The grout color is Snow White. Here is a picture with it grouted. The cabinets are getting painted today!!

Option 1 was the bright white. Both made by custom / polyblend.

It came out really beatiful!

I'm glad you went with #2 because that was my choice. : ) I think it turned out great! I was afraid it might be too busy but it's not. Do you have any other pictures? I'd love to see more of your cabinets.

I will post more once the cabinets are finished, hardware and lights are installed.

Non-professional votes for #2!

Gorgeous.

@Stephanie - glad you got the feedback you were looking for just in time. We almost went with the plantinum option 4 based on the recommendation of the tile guy. Then we insisted on the samples! Good luck with your project.

@Flo - thanks for the offer. Had the paint already on by the time I saw your note. I was between SW pure white, snowbound and alabaster. Had samples made but the backsplash and countertops were already covered up lol. I had a small tile sample to use. Went with Alabaster, I know it has a hint of yellow, but it matched the baseboard and doors in the kitchen which I wasn’t getting painted. I am now second guessing my decision and thinking that I should have done pure white
