Herringbone Backsplash Tile, 25 Gorgeous Ways

Up, down, or sideways–any way you look at it, a herringbone pattern elevates your space with its timeless angular design. This enduring pattern has been around for thousands of years, so clearly, it has strong staying power as it has embellished Ancient Roman roads and Egyptian jewelry, historic Italian fabrics, 16th-century French floors, and more. Our favorite application, however, is a herringbone backsplash. From kitchens to bathrooms to home bars and beyond, we’ve rounded up 25 of our favorite herringbone backsplash tile designs using our handmade tile.

All of the tile featured in these designs is made responsibly in the USA (Aromas, California and Spokane, Washington to be precise) from domestically sourced materials. As the first tile company to become a Certified B Corp, we’re dedicated to crafting our products as sustainably as possible, taking care of our employees, and using business as a force for good. When you choose Fireclay, we don’t just match your vision–we match your values, too.

If a herringbone tile catches your eye as you browse through these designs, remember that you can bring home up to five free color samples so you can see what the tile looks like in your own space (and each additional color sample is only $2 in case you can’t decide on just five). With that said, let’s get to the herringbone inspiration!
