The classic, timeless look of white subway tile has been utilized on walls and backsplashes for a good majority of the twentieth century, leading some people to think that this choice is bland and outdated. However, creative minds have come up with ways to maximize the classic subway tile and prove to the rest of the world that this material is here to stay.

In this post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of St. Louis Park shares a few ways to get the most out of white subway tile.

Take a 360° Approach

White subway tile has been the material of choice for many kitchen backsplashes. However, you may choose to use it throughout your bathroom. It’s a great option for walls and archways too. The consistent pattern that the tiles form create a harmonious look that completes the entire room.

Try Using Colored Tiles

For a modern look, you can opt to use colored subway tile — but keep the color subtle. A bathroom design expert would recommend using a neutral color such as gray since it complements numerous color schemes while giving off a sophisticated vibe.

Use Different Patterns

While subway tiles are known for their uniform horizontal pattern, you can try installing them vertically. You can even change up their dimensions to create a sense of variety. Doing so can really make an impact in a room.

Set It Against Wood

Try incorporating some warm touches by installing wood accents such as hardwood planks and wooden window frames to balance out the use of subway tile and give your room a more rustic finish.

Utilize Different Finishes

White subway tiles come in more than just porcelain and ceramic finishes. You can level up your room by using handcrafted clay zellige pieces to infuse classic style into a modern room.

Change Up the Shapes

While most people think that uniformity is a must, modern designs have evolved to welcome irregularity to draw attention and pique visual interest in a space. This adds a cool, ultra-modern aesthetic to your room.
