Brown Subway Tiles Give A Timeless Natural Look

BROWN SUBWAY TILES - WARMTH AND STYLE FOR YOUR HOME

The kitchen is the heart of the home—the place where practicality and harmony unite. We have some stunning options of brown subway tiles that will add flair to your kitchen while adding a burst of welcoming warmth.

Dark tones aren’t just for large spaces. Chestnut or burnished amber in even the smallest of kitchens will create an intimate feel. These tones work well with wood cabinetry and a traditional, natural scheme. If you have a lighter paint scheme, consider one of our tawny shades with a gray undertone to work with a cream or grey shaker theme. Our textured subway tiles can add that extra element of special interest here. 

Striking bronze subway tiles are a favorite from our range. Their shimmering, reflective quality, with copper-gold highlights, diffuses light to produce a cozy glow. They are perfect in a shower room where they give off the feel of natural bronze-hued rock, complementing copper bathroom fittings to luxurious effect.

BROWN SUBWAY TILE BACKSPLASH – ELEGANT AND PRACTICAL

A brown subway tile backsplash is an excellent choice for a hectic kitchen. Darker tones are more forgiving, buying busy families all-important time. They blend well with deeper colored woods for a unifying effect. 

However, practicality does not need to compromise style. Whichever shade or pattern you choose, the slender shape of the subway tile allows you to add elegance and interest through the arrangement you choose. A diagonal brick bond or crosshatch design will make this space stand out, creating a focal point for your kitchen floor or wall. 

You can be playful with a backsplash too. Why not choose several complementary tones to alternate in a classic offset pattern? Highlighting these with gold subway tiles or rich garnet from our red subway tile range will add extra depth and luxury.

BROWN GLASS SUBWAY TILE – SPREADING LIGHT WHEREVER THEY GO

One of the biggest attractions of glass subway tiles is how well they reflect light. The glossy surface helps a room to instantly feel larger and brighter thanks to the natural luminescence of glass. 

Caramel and maple-brown glass subway tiles make an elegant vertical stack and will set off white sanitaryware for a mellow bathroom with a retro feel. Half tiling the wall leaves plenty of room for structural fixtures to complement the style: think geometric mirrors and stained wood shelving. 

Brown glass subway tiles can be a stylish addition to a mudroom, too. While the color helps hide a multitude of muddy sins, its easy-to-wipe surface makes all the difference. It keeps the space practical while bringing desirable design features to a much-used and much-neglected space.

WHAT ARE THE DISTINCTIVE FEATURES AND SHADES OF BROWN FOUND IN SUBWAY TILES?

Brown can often be viewed as a staid color that sparks little in the imagination at first glance. But drawing from nature, natural woods and unctuous amber and maple syrup hues, there is so much breadth of color on offer in our wonderful range of brown shades. Smooth finishes, beveled surfaces, metallics, glass and textured patterns: there is a wealth of creative opportunities to uncover in our brown subway tile selection.

HOW CAN BROWN SUBWAY TILES BRING WARMTH AND EARTHY TONES TO A ROOM?

Look out for brown subway tiles that have orange or copper undertones. These shades of brown are softer and work well with warm woods such as teak, oak and chestnut, playing with the orange and bronze tones. Metallics have a natural iridescence that, like brown glass subway tiles, picks up light and naturally casts a warm glow. These tiles look striking in a block and also work elegantly interspersed with complimentary shades.

WHAT ARE SOME CREATIVE WAYS TO USE BROWN SUBWAY TILES IN LIVING ROOM ACCENTS?

Subway tiles are never off-limits for the living room. Brown subway tiles make a beautiful surround for a traditional style open fireplace. Although your living room is a blank canvas and could use a little depth, give a wall-mounted modern fire a prominent position by setting it in a faux chimney breast panel of natural stone-brown subway tiles. This gives the traditional feel of brick while making a modern design statement.
