Herringbone backsplash is certainly an eye-catcher. The simplicity of the pattern allows to put an accent to the material and the zigzag angles on the kitchen wall immediately become a focal point. Herringbone tile pattern has been in use for hundreds of years because of its elegant and intriguing look.

Both herringbone and chevron are zigzag patterns. The herringbone pattern is an arrangement of rectangles and the name origins from the resemblance to the bones of a fish such as a herring. It can be sometimes quite difficult to distinguish herringbone and chevron.

The main difference is in the way both patterns are achieved. The herringbone is achieved when the woodblocks finish perpendicular to each other and the result is a broken zigzag. The chevron pattern forms a continuous zigzag design as the tiles are positioned point to point and the ends are cut at an angle. Herringbone backsplash is a lovely backdrop and is most often used with open shelves.

This pattern uses rectangular tiles which are lined up at a 45-degree angle so that they are all parallel. This is repeated in reverse on the other side of the tiles and creates a line with tiles coming out on either side similar to the letter “V.”
