Subway tile provides a great option for creating a vintage look in any area of your home.  As its name suggests, the rectangular tile got its name from being the primary format used in the construction of subway systems.

Subway tiles work well with many style formats such as classic, retro, modern, etc.  The original ceramic subway tile had a flat glazed surface with square edges and normally measured 3” x 6”.  Today, the subway tile is produced with other materials such as glass, wood, and bamboo and is available in hundreds of colors.  The surface can be now be domed and the edges more round.

Many homeowners used subway tile predominately in the bathrooms.  With the popularity of these types of tiles ever on the increase, they can now be found in many other areas of the home such as kitchen backsplashes and pool waterlines.  Bring a bit of timeless design into your home by considering subway tile for your project.
