Subway tiles are something that we are familiar with from the subways of New York and the tube network in London. But we also know that subway tiles look fantastic in the bathroom, and recently they are becoming an often requested element for kitchen backsplashes.
The subway tile is very popular if you want to add a hint of tradition to an otherwise ultra modern kitchen. Even though they are they are a very old style, the brick pattern of subway tiles makes they complement our modern style of kitchen very well.
So go for the classis subway tile if you want to add an elegant look of creativity to your kitchen.
Subway Tile is the term we tend to use these days to describe an old fahioned type of tile, typically found in the New York Subway system, but also very commonly used in old fashioned swimming pools, bath houses etc.
In the UK, it was also very common to see subway tiles used in Fish n Chip shops or fishmongers. Often a 2"x6" wall tile, all the way up to 3" x 6" today, it is usually used to describe any tile that has more width than height, laid in a common brick pattern.
They became very popular in the late 19th and early 20th century and they were easy to produce and easy to clean, and also very forgiving of not so perfect walls.
Today they have become very popular as an alternative form of Kitchen Backsplash and are available in a wide range of sizes and colors.
Your kitchen is probably the most important room in your home. If you don't believe that, just ask a realtor or estate agent what rooms most influence a potential buyer! So make sure it looks amazing! Adding a backsplash will add a lot of style to your kitchen and really will improve how it looks.
