Tumbled Subway Tiles – Full Of Rustic Charm

TUMBLED MARBLE SUBWAY TILE ADDS DISCREET LUXURY TO YOUR SPACES

Tumbled marble subway tiles are an exquisite addition to your home. The textured surface and lightly undulating edges, left behind from the tumbling process, create a feeling of understated opulence. The absence of crisp lines is welcoming, allowing your tiled spaces to blend seamlessly into the fabrics and furnishings in the rest of your design scheme.

Tumbled marble lends itself well to almost any style of kitchen. Soft gray cabinetry in a shaker or traditional style, with a veined white-grey marble backsplash, gives a strong impression of style as well as homeliness. 

These tiles create a mellow aesthetic that invites contrast. A backsplash of tumbled marble subway tiles will sing when paired with contemporary cabinets and a high-polished countertop. There is something undeniably irresistible in the juxtaposition of old and new, and a look that allows you to keep an ultra-modern theme in your room, with a dab of comfort brought by the soft appearance of the tile.

TUMBLED CARRARA MARBLE SUBWAY TILE

Carrara marble is a stunning choice to incorporate into your home design scheme. Its rarity is second only to its beauty, created by its white to blue-grey coloring with gray veins. Tumbled, Carrara marble abandons the last vestiges of its austerity, producing a heavenly tile that will bring a cool, refreshing whisper of design to whichever room you choose to use it.

It’s lightness of texture and color means it will fit in with a minimalist, modern, all-white theme with ease. This lends itself incredibly well to smaller spaces that wish to have a brighter and airier feel. It works equally well in large spaces that can use this gloriously calm palette to its advantage by adding judicious pops of color to nearby fabrics.

Tumbled Carrara marble subway tiles have a clear place in bathroom design. The sense of purity they bring looks flawless against crisp white bathroom fixtures. Pair them with an off-white or mid-gray wall, and you will have a style worthy of the best boutique hotels. 

TUMBLED STONE SUBWAY TILE – PERFECTLY IMPERFECT

The irregularities introduced by tumbling stone create a rustic finish that is perfect for a country cottage aesthetic that wouldn’t be out of place in a Tuscan kitchen or a gîte in France.

There is an exceptional range of options in our selection. You can choose from pale limestones to buttery travertines and all the grays in between. Any of these will bring the spirit of soothing country chic to your home.

Tumbled stone subway tiles work beautifully with wood cabinetry for a natural aesthetic that evokes countryside living. Some of our tiles are suitable for flooring, and exterior use. You could consider laying a charming cobbled-effect floor on a porch or entryway. Inviting an  outdoor natural element in this way, will unify your home and garden. 

WHAT IS A TUMBLED MARBLE SUBWAY TILE?

A tumbled marble subway tile has gone through a process of gentle abrasion by small stones being shimmied around their surfaces. This process causes light erosion, resulting in a rougher, uneven edge and small chips in the surfaces. Overall, tumbling creates a weathered finish that creates a beautiful sense of delicacy on a usually hard-edged material. It works well, although not exclusively, for distressed and shabby chic styling.

ARE TUMBLED MARBLE SUBWAY TILES EASY TO INSTALL?

Marble tiles tend to be more fragile than others, and we would recommend leaving installation to professionals. In general, however, the process is similar to fitting other tiles. As tumbled marble subway tiles are delicate, you would be advised to hire a motorized wet saw to cut your tiles and to go about it gently to avoid splitting and cracking.
