    • CONTEMPORARY LOOK SUBWAY TILES – A FRESH FEEL TO A CLASSIC LOOK

    As with any great story, there comes a time for a twist. And this is what we have with contemporary look subway tiles. Following on from the rectangular tradition the contemporary look offers longer, leaner dimensions. A standard classic subway tile measures 3”x 6”. Although this can vary, a subway’s width is approximately half its length. With these contemporary look subway tiles, you will find options of 2.5”x 10” and 3”x 8”. Thinner and longer than a classic 3”x6” tile, their ultra-elongated shape brings new possibilities for your interiors.


    With these long sleek lines, the tile carries the eye further, creating a feeling of motion. A classic subway tile brick-bond pattern becomes wave-like, enhanced all the more by some of the softly monochromatic tiles in the range. It is a striking look with lots of potential.

    MODERN SUBWAY TILE DESIGN OPTIONS


    The slim fingers of tile created by these contemporary dimensions are eye-catching, and they produce some surprising effects. You can curate a flinty, shale-hued bespoke palette of tobaccos, sandstone, and beige neutrals for a contemporary interpretation of stone. This can work beautifully on a large scale as flooring or with the smallest, most slender tiles as a surround for a fireplace or kitchen backsplash.

    The tiles’ interplay with grout really comes to the fore with these contemporary subway tiles, highlighting the shape and toning of the colors. The unique dimension draws the eye quite naturally; make the most of this by using ivory grout to soften dark colors and darker beiges to let pretty pastels stand out.

    SLEEK SUBWAY TILE PATTERNS FOR FLAWALESS FINISHES

    These tiles add a lot to your options for bathrooms and shower rooms. Typically, they are smaller than our other living spaces and we don’t have the same carte blanche to follow our inspirations. With the contemporary subway tiles we can really impact the aesthetic of these rooms with all the extra visual interest they bring.

    Contemporary subway tiles placed horizontally will naturally lengthen the look of a bathroom. Create a light look that flows with pearly whites and feathery opalescent glass tiles. Or choose a rosy-pink monochromatic tile to tone with beige grout and gold fittings for an understated opulence that is out of this world.

    ARE CONTEMPORARY SUBWAY TILES AVAILABLE IN LIGHT COLORS?

    Yes, with our vast range of subway tiles, available in multiple sizes, you can find contemporary subway tiles in any color and shade you could imagine. We have all finishes, and block colors, as well as some pleasing low-contrast variegated patterns.

    WHY ARE CONTEMPORARY SUBWAY TILES CONTEMPORARY? 

    The original and most common size for subway tiles is 3”x6”. There is some variation to this, but the width of the classic tile usually measures half the length of the tile. Contemporary tiles are a more elongated version, with a greater difference in width and length. Common sizes of contemporary tile might be 2.5”x10” or 3”x8”.

    HOW DO YOU CUT CONTEMPORARY LOOK SUBWAY TILES?

    To cut porcelain tiles, which are harder and more brittle than ceramic tile, a wet cutter yields reliable results, avoiding snapping and chipping. Ceramic tiles are easier to handle and don’t require professional tools. It is possible for you to cut these tiles with a simple snap tile cutter.
