This post is all about subway tile options from TileBar that are NOT boring.
I had someone who follows me on Instagram reach out to me the other day. She is working on a Kitchen project and mentioned that her husband does NOT want Subway tile. Since I just recommended it for the Artisan House Kitchen I ordered samples from my favorite TileBar.
I told my client there are so many options available in Subway Tile these days and don’t knock it till you see the samples. The samples I ordered from TileBar came super quick and I wanted to share with you some of the options I received. I think you will be surprised at how pretty they are. It’s definitely more than just your average ceramic subway tile that first made its debut in New York City’s subterranean train stations in the early 1900s.
Along with a clean beautiful look, Subway Tile is also quite timeless as seen here.
Here are some of the options we sourced for Artisan House. These are ALL Subway Tile! Not what you were thinking was it? There are different sizes, textures, edge finishes, and colors. For this project, we need a white or ivory base but the options in color are endless! Click HERE to see all the options.
My first choice for this client since they are looking for something a bit unique and raised is the Byzantine Bianco 3D Ceramic Subway Tile paired with the Byzantine Bianco 2×9 Ceramic Subway Tile as shown below.
This is how the two look together but I have also seen the raised tile used alone. I like the look of the flat and raised alternating on the backsplash.
Here is what the Byzantine Bianco 2×9 Ceramic Subway Tile would like like if applied in a herringbone pattern.
This Montauk Gin 2×8 Ceramic Wall Tile is so beautiful in person. It has a pearlized appearance which adds beauty and warmth. The top color is GIN and the bottom is Sand Dune.
Description from TileBar: Inspired by lazy summer weekends spent down at the shore, the Montauk Collection evokes memories of sand between your toes and the smell of saltwater in the air. Available in 5 neutral colorways, Montauk is the perfect choice to add a serene, coastal feel to your space. Each colorway is offered in a 4×4 and 2×8 format making for a plethora of design options.
*Please note that there are two variations of gloss within a box, causing fluctuation in color. For best results, mix the shades before grouting
The top tile here is Basic White 3×6 Polished Beveled Ceramic Wall Tile shown below.
The middle tile is White Thassos 3×6 Beveled Marble Tile shown below.
The bottom White Thassos 2×4 Beveled Marble Tile is shown below.
Since I wanted my client to see other size options I ordered these as well.
