Metro Tile Specifications:

Metro tiles (also known as subway tiles, brick tiles, or underground tiles) are thin, brick-shaped tiles that gained popularity in the 1980s. Metro tiles are a popular choice for bathrooms and kitchens nowadays. Of course, nothing prevents you from using them as feature walls in bedrooms or as stylish and functional hallway tiles. Metro tiles' enduring popularity stems from their timeless design, ease of maintenance, and versatility. Subway tiles are available in a variety of colours, sizes, and finishes, and they can be laid horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, or you can create your own mix-and-match pattern.

Bathroom Metro Tile Ideas:

Select a Dark Neutral

Consider a darker neutral, such as grey, with bright white grout for white subway tile ideas. With a simple, elegant foundation, you can easily liven up your scheme with brightly coloured accessories like this sunshine yellow stool and towel.

Combine with a Darkly Patterned Floor

A classic contemporary look is less likely to date when considering shower tile ideas. Mixing metro tiles on the walls with modern Moroccan-style patterned tiles on the floor is a great way to achieve this in a wet room.

Include a Striking Splashback

Choosing natural colours for your subway tile ideas, such as deep blue, means you'll be less likely to get tired of them. The tiles will stand out more if they are surrounded by white walls and flooring.

Paint the Walls a Bright Colour

Brightly coloured bathrooms have experienced a boom in recent years. A new era has seen colour creep back into the bathroom after an entire generation distanced itself

Use Gold Accents

Warm metallic taps, shower fittings, and hardware, such as brass, are popular bathroom trends. Brassware in a polished finish can add glamour to a cool white scheme and will stand out against industrial-style metro tiles.

Subway Tile to Recreate in Your Kitchen:

Keep Your Wallpaper Safe

We understand if you can't resist a good wallpaper moment and want it in every room of the house. However, one consideration when using wallpaper in the kitchen is how well it will withstand moisture.

Try a Vibrant Colour

Colour variation in your subway tiles will give the overall look of the room a more artisanal feel. The mint green wall is refreshing, soothing, and cheerful—the ideal combination for a happy family kitchen.

Texture Should be Added

So you know you want to paint your kitchen walls a bright colour, but have you considered texture? Subway tiles add so much more dimension to a room than a flat paint, as seen in this kitchen.
