Shower Subway Tiles – Serene Spaces

SUBWAY TILE SHOWER SPACE OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS

Home remodeling projects can be daunting to undertake. The choices are vast, the options are seemingly endless. It can be helpful to spend time browsing interior style magazines and websites to get ideas for the styles that really excite you. Understanding the elements that appeal to you will help you curate your own personal look.

Begin by picking the color or style you want to work with. Are you drawn to cool, pretty pastels, or perhaps warm, biscuity beiges? Maybe soothing woodland greens or high-contrast black and white are more your thing. Whichever colorway you find yourself choosing, remember to consider the finish and how this adds to the feel of the room.

Lots of our subway tiles come in several finishes. Matte tile absorbs light, giving an intimate feel to the space. Our semi-gloss finished tiles diffuse light softly without glare. Glossy tiles will simply bounce light around the room for a clean and bright feel. We also have natural stone subway tile options that are suitable for shower walls. Tumbled stone bring rustic charm, while honed stones bring tactile, velvety softness in touch and appearance. For a particularly high-end look, polished subway tiles will reflect light with elegance to give your shower space the ultimate feeling of luxury.

WHITE SUBWAY TILE SHOWER ROOMS FOR ULTIMATE SIMPLICITY

White subway tiles make for a peaceful blank canvas for any room. But they lend themselves nowhere so well as a shower space, thanks to their bright, clean and airy energy. The true beauty of white subway tile is how versatile it is. Installing a white subway tile shower space with high-quality tiles will give you a clean scheme that will stand the test of time. You can keep your bathroom up to date with the most recent color schemes as trends change thanks to its versatility in how accessories and ornaments can accent it. You have the freedom to use any color or pattern blinds, bath mats and towels you find—a great solution for you if you are wary of committing to more bold options.

A white subway tile scheme need not be dull.  You can embrace its pristine allure while toning with other gentle colors. If you like light, bright, and airy whites for their cool appeal, why not mix and match with pale blues and grays. A pearlescent finish will unify the tiles, tying them together in style and finish. 

In a similar scheme, you can’t go wrong considering our white marble subway tiles for your shower. Carrara marble has graceful gray veining on a blue-white stone that will add texture and depth in a way a flat white tile won’t. The effect can offer the same longevity of design, but with a splash of opulence. Variegated tiles are a wonderful way to introduce a small amount of color to your white scheme. Painted tiles that emulate marble with colorful splashes and gold streaks will add warm tones to the room while bringing you color accents you can play with in your accessories.

FARMHOUSE SUBWAY TILE SHOWER OPTIONS – BE BOLD WITH PATTERN

Across our subway tile range there are some exceptionally special options that will make your farmhouse-style shower dreams a reality. If a rustic look is your desired aesthetic, then look no further than our tumbled or honed natural stone. These subway tiles will create the feel of a stone farmhouse wall and will work well with modern fixtures and a traditional twist in your fittings. The interplay of textures and colors will create a shower space that has movement, interest and energy.

If contemporary country living is your inspiration, complete a very traditional style bath and shower room with subway tiles instead of painted wooden shiplap. A half-tiled wall of vertically stacked subway tiles will create a similar result, while being long-lasting, and easy to clean and maintain. Use the same tile in the shower and enhance this simple scheme with a soapy pastel hue on the walls. 

The way to elevate this look to full farmhouse is by indulging in your flooring. You can go for wood effect laminates or pale natural stone, but this is an ideal opportunity to introduce some pattern to your scheme. Look at our range of mosaics and florals for a selection that will finish off your farmhouse theme in style. 

HOW TO INSTALL A SUBWAY TILE BACKSPLASH IN YOUR BATHROOM

Decide how much of the space you want to use and measure from the end of the walls to find your starting midpoint. The human eye will always look to rationalise pattern, so try to balance the arrangement so the cuts to the tile are even at both ends of the wall. Cover your surfaces to protect them from tools and splashes. Then attach whole tiles in rows, working bottom to top. Partial tiles can be cut and positioned all together at the end. Use spacers to keep the tiles a uniform width apart and leave to set fully before grouting.

HOW TO CHOOSE SUBWAY TILE  

Firstly, consider the aesthetic you want to create. When you have chosen your color and desired finish, make sure it is suitable for where you are putting it. For example, flooring needs to be durable and the tiles able to withstand traffic, and for bathrooms, the tile needs to be moisture resistant. The best thing to do is check the applications tab in the product description to see where it can be used. 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL SUBWAY TILE BACKSPLASH?

It doesn’t take long at all to install a subway tile backsplash. If you want a small, localized backsplash for a stove or sink, this can be done in a day. However, if you are tiling a full wall backsplash, it is best to allow 2-3 days.
