I like the idea of the larger tiles.

if you must do a subway at least do something different... I would go 4 x 12 but without seeing your plan it is hard to say - do you have any perspectives of your layout? Try to pencil in the tile layout as close to scale as possible to see what it would look like.

Thanks for your reply! We decided on the 4x12.

Did you hang your Brynne pendants over your island? I would appreciate seeing a photo if you don’t mind.

We just hung them Friday. Went with the chrome finishes instead of the brass that is often pictured. Very happy with them! Our island is big at 9 feet & these lights look great as a statement piece.

They look great!! I chose the same- black with chrome fittings. Are these the larger or smaller size?

We went with the 14x17, so the smaller ones. Our space is open concept but on the smaller side. We didn’t want the larger pendants as they would have been too much & wouldn’t allow for us to have any other statement light fixtures throughout the space.

Hello RA (and anyone else with an opinion) I am having a serious deliema on whether to choose 4x8 or 4x12 subway tile for kitchen backsplash wall which will be laid in a herringbone pattern.

What did you choose to do? What factors did you consider in your decision?

Houzzers: The colourway (warm white) is perfect so I don't want to revisit that and grout will be low contrast. The tile space is 13 feet L x 4 feet H (existing bulkhead that cannot be moved but installing dowlights to give it a purpose). It is a focal point wall with no upper cabs (fairly open concept layout and wall is seen upon entry so I'd like to make somewhat of a statement). The galley kitchen does not swing either too traditional or contemporary. Cabinetry is simple shaker. I would say my style is modern traditional or at least that is what I seem to be attracted to the most.

Can anyone explain how each choice might "feel" in the space.

Thanks to RA and anyone else who might chime in.

Thanks Altair, appreciate your comment. First time posting - wasn't sure if I should have started a new thread (?).

Also what is better for bathtub. 3x6. Or 4 x 12. And what looks nicer Straight or stagger them Thanks

@Nancy Grittola I am in the last stages of a new build. I used 4 x 16 staggered in a bathtub surround, and I love how it turned out.
