Subway Tiles

Subway tiles, a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces, offer a versatile and timeless design option. Originating in the early 20th century, these tiles were first used in New York City's subway stations, hence the name. The classic subway tile features a rectangular shape, typically measuring 3x6 inches, with a glossy white finish. However, modern interpretations of this design have expanded the range of colours, finishes, and sizes available, as showcased in the image below.

Subway tiles are known for their durability and ease of maintenance, making them an ideal choice for various applications, including kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, and even outdoor areas. The simplicity of subway tiles allows for numerous layout options, such as the traditional brick pattern, herringbone, or stacked vertically. This adaptability enables homeowners and designers to create a customised look that complements various design styles, from traditional to contemporary.

In summary, subway tiles provide a classic yet adaptable design solution for a wide range of spaces and applications.
