Choosing The Right One
Subway tiles can be used in kitchens, bathrooms and even laundries. It’s just a case of choosing the right one for each application.
Subway Tiles Kitchen
Traditional subway tiles measure 75 x 150 mm in size, but these days you can get these iconic tiles in a range of slightly different sizes with the most common ones being either 100 x 300 mm or 75 x 300 mm. This gives you plenty of scope to select just the right one for your kitchen.
They make a great addition to any kitchen layout and their uniform rectangular shape means that you can easily apply them in a variety of different configurations.
Subway tiles look especially effective when placed on the wall behind your sink or on the splashback behind your stove. They're available in both matt and gloss finishes so can choose your preference when selecting just the right tiles for your kitchen.
Subway tiles look equally as good in your bathroom as they do in your kitchen. They’re perfect for adding to the wall behind your basin and bath and you could even take this one step further and use them in the shower.
You can also achieve some interesting effects by changing the way that they’re positioned. For example, you might want to place them vertically on the wall behind your basin and then lay them in a herringbone pattern behind the bath.
Even if you use the same colour tile, like the gorgeous grey subway tiles we have in stock, laying them in different patterns adds a little interest to your interior decor.
Subway Tile Splashback
Subway tiles look particularly effective when they’re used on the splashback in your kitchen. They give your kitchen that timeless appeal that will never fade.
For a more dramatic look, why not consider a black subway tile for your splashback and supplement this with a different colour on the other tiled areas in your kitchen?
Of course, white and black subway tile is always timeless in a kitchen but think about adding some other colours that would coordinate with the colour scheme that you already have. Subway tiles come in a range of shades such as blue, green and even blush pink.
