Blue Subway Tiles – So Serene

BLUE SUBWAY TILES – GET SWEPT AWAY BY OUR RANGE

Blues are sometimes overlooked at first exploration of a new design scheme. Many people are understandably misguided in the belief that blue subway tiles will automatically make a room feel cold. It is true that a cleverly chosen shade of blue will certainly temper a hot south facing room, but there are plenty of ways that blue subway tiles can bring warmth as well as vitality to your living spaces.

Opting for pinkish blues with warm nuances allows you to do something that is a little bit different while maintaining an air of comfort. If boldness is what you're going for, lapis lazuli-inspired colors that are close to French ultramarine will add gloriously vivid elements to your design. Keep the look elegant by arranging your blue subway tiles in a double herringbone design, using cream grout as opposed to white to go for maximum softness.

BLUE SUBWAY TILE BACKSPLASH – STYLISH AND PRACTICAL

A blue subway tile backsplash creates a delightful centerpiece for a kitchen. While bright and bold favor large spaces, for a quieter look, you can’t go wrong with periwinkle blue subway tiles. The color of this dainty flower lends itself exquisitely to pairings with neutrals, allowing you to create understated beauty without dominating a small space. Accent a blue tile backsplash with glass bottles and containers for a traditional, apothecary look. 
Although blue and white are classic pairings, working with pastels and layering with soapy tones of green subway tile can add flexibility to your broader decorative scheme. Blue subway tiles also make a lovely addition to a tiled laundry room when used in this way. Extending design into heavily used and often neglected spaces reinvigorates the room without overburdening a busy space with unnecessary features. 

BLUE GLASS SUBWAY TILE – A CLEAR CHOICE FOR BATHROOMS

One of the most popular options for a bathroom renovation is an azure blue theme. It is hard to avoid the aquatic connection, and it can be an exciting color scheme to work with. 

Blue glass subway tiles will instantly elevate your look, with the smooth, translucent tiles reflecting light all around the room. The choice is an excellent one for practical reasons too, particularly for shower stalls and spaces where the tile is coming into regular contact with water. The non-porous nature of glass means it is resistant to mold and mildew, while the smooth surface also makes it a breeze to wipe down and clean. 

Taking care of glass subway tiles could not be easier. There is no need for harsh cleaning chemicals here. A simple half and half mix of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle will effortlessly keep limescale at bay, giving your subway tiles a sparkling oceanic blue.

WHAT MAKES BLUE SUBWAY TILES A REFRESHING CHOICE FOR DESIGN?

Steering away from neutral shades always feels a little bit bold. Choosing blue subway tiles brings a refreshing twist to your interiors. Cornflower and forget-me-knot shades with white furnishings create a fresh two-tone interior reminiscent of Delft pottery. It adds a modern edge to traditional styles with ease.

HOW CAN BLUE SUBWAY TILES CREATE A CALM AND SOOTHING AMBIANCE IN A SPACE?

Blue itself is quite simply a serene color to work with; even the most vigorous of turquoise or cerulean blue subway tiles will combine restfully with a range of other colors. Evoking seas and skies and deep starry nights, it is easy to get lost in the blue palette.
