You can easily find FABULOUS subway tiles for under $8 sq ft. So, worst case scenario your tile is going to cost $250 (do not check my math on that one). If you stick with good old white/off-white in a standard subway tile layout you will get YEARS’ worth of style out of it. Subway tiles are a versatile product that can transition into a TON of styles depending on personal tastes, colour, layout, grout choice, etc…
And while subway tile might sound boring, being so ‘affordable, practical, timeless, etc…’ there are some SUPER fab ways to jazz it up to make it LOOK like you spent more money, without bustin’ out the kid’s piggy banks! In this next photo, we chose a beautiful tumbled travertine subway tile for my local client.
This next kitchen features a gorgeous marble subway tile backsplash, coordinated with the quartz countertop and white cabinets… Choosing a subway tile in a colour (solid or mixed tones) is a great way to keep things classic and simple, while still adding a personal touch. The classic SHAPE of the subway tile gives you room to be brave with colour and style! You can also consider a unique glazed porcelain subway tile with dark grout to really define the pattern, as shown in this next kitchen…
In this next bathroom, we chose an elongated 4×12 cream coloured subway tile in a staggered layout. It suits the shape of the floor tile (12×24) and the warm tones are softer than the traditional white.
Next up, with its matching grout, the 4×12 off-white subway tile is a subtle complement to the white cabinets and quartz countertop. In this next photo, I LOVE the colour my clients chose for their kitchen cabinets – Benjamin Moore Kitty Gray. And seriously, there are MANY more ways to play with subway tile and I’m sure I’ll be writing ANOTHER long-winded blog post on this topic – but for now, that’s it!
