Subway or metro tiles are rectangular tiles that are twice as long as they are wide. They have long been popular for both kitchens and bathrooms, and are very effective in both traditional and contemporary properties alike. Using subway tiles vertically instead of horizontally can be a great option if you want to give your space a unique look and feel, with an interesting design choice. But what should you consider when using vertical subway tiles in the bathroom?
Top considerations for using vertical subway tiles in the bathroom
There are several things to consider when tiling your bathroom with vertical subway tiles. These include:
- Making a tiling feature- you can use vertical subway tiles to create an attractive bathroom feature wall, shower enclosure feature, or stunning splash back. You could consider:
- using a contrasting grout colour to really make the shape and style stand out
- using alternating colour combinations or contrasting colours like black and white
- Adding border tiles- using vertical subway tiles all around your bathroom can allow you to also add vertical border tiles too. These can fit seamlessly with the rest of the tiling in your bathroom, but can also add a unique and personal appeal to your room. You could opt for monochrome colour combination, or complementary colours instead.
- Wall or floor tiling- vertical subway tiles can be used effectively for both wall and floor tiling in any bathroom. The unusual shape and layout can create a striking visual effect.
