Subway Tiles: Classic Style for Modern Homes

Subway tiles have become a timeless staple in home design, offering versatility, simplicity, and elegance. Originating from the walls of the New York City subway system, these tiles have transcended their utilitarian roots to become a popular choice in kitchens, bathrooms, and beyond. At The Blue Space, Australia’s leading bathroom eCommerce store, we provide an exceptional range of subway tiles to inspire your renovation projects.

Why Choose Subway Tiles

Subway tiles are celebrated for their clean lines and adaptability to various design styles. Their enduring appeal lies in their ability to blend seamlessly with both modern and traditional aesthetics.

Timeless and Versatile

Subway tiles offer a classic look that never goes out of style. They can be arranged in numerous patterns, from the traditional horizontal layout to more contemporary styles like herringbone or vertical stack. Pair subway tiles with white tiles for a crisp and clean look or with charcoal tiles for a bold contrast.

Perfect for Any Space

Subway tiles are incredibly versatile, making them suitable for various applications. Whether you’re updating your kitchen splashback, bathroom walls, or even adding a feature wall in your living room, subway tiles provide the perfect foundation.

Durable and Low Maintenance

Made from materials like porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, subway tiles are durable and resistant to stains. Their smooth surface makes them easy to clean, making them ideal for high-use areas.

Where to Use Subway Tiles

Kitchens

Subway tiles are a favourite for kitchen splashbacks, where their simplicity adds charm and practicality. Pair them with vibrant tones like blue tiles or green tiles for a fresh and modern feel.

Bathrooms

In bathrooms, subway tiles create a spa-like atmosphere. Use them on shower walls, around bathtubs, or as a feature wall to add depth and texture. Combine them with marble-look tiles for a luxurious touch or with beige tiles for a warm, neutral palette.

Living Areas

Subway tiles can also make a statement in living spaces. Use them to create a feature wall or fireplace surround, adding character and texture to your room. Pair them with terrazzo-look tiles or travertine-look tiles for a unique and cohesive design.

Outdoor Spaces

Extend the versatility of subway tiles to outdoor areas, such as patios or alfresco kitchens. Durable and stylish, they blend seamlessly with natural elements when paired with terracotta-look tiles.

Design Ideas with Subway Tiles

Contemporary Layouts

While the traditional horizontal layout is a classic, you can experiment with more modern arrangements. Consider vertical stacks for a sleek look or a herringbone pattern using our herringbone tiles.

Colour Combinations

Subway tiles are available in a variety of colours, allowing you to personalise your space. Opt for contrasting grout colours to emphasise the pattern, or pair neutral subway tiles with pink tiles for a playful pop of colour.

Mixed Materials

Mix subway tiles with other materials for a dynamic design. Pair them with mosaic tiles or feature tiles to add depth and texture.

Materials and Finishes

At The Blue Space, we offer subway tiles in various materials and finishes to suit your needs. Porcelain and ceramic options provide durability, while glossy finishes add shine, and matte finishes offer a contemporary touch. Explore sizes like 300mm x 600mm tiles for larger spaces or 100mm x 100mm tiles for detailed designs.

Why Choose The Blue Space

At The Blue Space, we are dedicated to providing premium-quality subway tiles that blend style, functionality, and durability. Our curated range ensures you’ll find the perfect tiles to suit your project, whether you're designing a modern kitchen or a timeless bathroom.

Explore our full collection of tiles today and let us help you bring your vision to life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard size of subway tiles?
Traditionally, subway tiles measure 3 x 6 inches. However, sizes have expanded to include various dimensions such as 2 x 4, 4 x 8, and 6 x 12 inches. Generally, any wall tile with a 1:2 size ratio can be styled as a subway tile.
What materials are subway tiles made from?
Subway tiles are commonly made from ceramic or porcelain. They are also available in glass and natural stone, each offering different aesthetic and functional benefits.
What are the different patterns for laying subway tiles?
While the traditional layout is a 50% offset, meaning each tile is offset by half its length, there are several alternative patterns: One-Third Offset: Tiles are offset by one-third of their length, creating a staggered appearance. One-Fourth Offset: Tiles are offset by one-fourth of their length, offering a subtle variation. Horizontal Grid: Tiles are aligned horizontally without any offset, providing a clean, modern look. Vertical Grid: Tiles are stacked vertically, either aligned or offset, adding height to the space. Herringbone Pattern: Tiles are arranged in a zigzag pattern, introducing dynamic movement to the design.
Are subway tiles suitable for both walls and floors?
Yes, subway tiles are versatile and can be used on both walls and floors. However, it's essential to choose tiles with appropriate slip resistance for floor applications, especially in wet areas like bathrooms.
How do I maintain and clean subway tiles?
Subway tiles are low-maintenance. Regular cleaning with a mild detergent and water is usually sufficient. It's important to seal the grout lines to prevent staining and to clean spills promptly to maintain their appearance.
