Love the stencil. That would make a great faux-tile backsplash.

I love that green herringbone stencil pattern. Actually, the whole stencil website (Royal Design Studio) is an inspiration!

Not all these designs are a herringbone pattern - the entire bottom row is a pattern called chevron.

As stated in the post, herringbone is an interlocking pattern, while chevron creates a symmetrical "V" (like the logo of the energy company).
