Subway Tiles In The Shower/ Bathtub Space

    Highlight your shower or bathtub space with subway tiles of the color you like, white is traditional but you can also rock different shades like black, grey, sea foam and so on. To make your tiles stand out, you can use contrasting grout – white for black, black for white, etc. If there’s a bathtub, surround it with subway tiles, and your two bathing spaces will be accentuated.

Subway Tiles In The Sink Zone

    Accentuate your sink zone with subway tiles of some different color than all the tiles around or go for half painted walls and half tiles – looks super chic! White tiles with black grout will look eye-catchy, black ones are great for retro and industrial bathrooms, colorful ones with white grout will be a nice decision for any modern space.

Subway Tiles All Over

    White subway tiles are amazing for using all over the bathroom, rock them with black grout for a bold look, and with white grout for a seamless look. Black ones will give your space a moody look, and if you want something relaxing, try shades of green and blue – calm ones. Use contrasting mosaic tiles on the floor, or go for hexagon or penny ones to highlight your subway ones even more.
