Backsplash

8 years ago

Have decided to go with subway toke for my backsplash. Would love some help. Do I go with 3x6 or 3x12. As well do I choose New Yorker style or basic glossy the? Thanks for any advice!

I also like the 3 x 12. However, it all depends on the length of the space to be tiled. In a bathroom you have a long usually at least 60" and two short walls usually 36" wide so this size looks great. Take a look at your kitchen as a whole if you think the spaces are wide enough go for 3x12 glossy. It will make for a unique back splash.

I would go for the 3 x 12. It is a more updated look.

Ditto 3x12. I've had it up to here with regular old subway. And Matt finishes.
