Subway Tiles with a Difference

By now, everyone has seen subway tiles and I know I've used them plenty of times. I have to admit though that white  subway tiles are feeling a little overused now and it's time to think of some new ideas!

For the new display home I've been working on, I used subway tiles for the bathrooms as a feature tile - but they were black and grey.

Today on Pinterest I spotted another bathroom which uses a similar look tile as a feature, and doesn't it look gorgeous?

And I've had this powderroom toilet pinned for a little while now...

So, would you brave enough to try a black subway tile? Or do you prefer to stick with classic white?

  1. Love the dark tiles, but then I do like the dark colours anyway! I'm going to use a white subway (hand made wavy style) in the kitchen but I'm thinking of breaking it up every now and again with a band of square tiles in amongst the rectangular ones.... I think it will add texture to the overall look as I'm covering such a big wall.... although I'm also thinking that my kitchen plans are becoming quite experimental, which is slightly terrifying! Have a great week xx

  2. Absolutely love the dark subway tiles! I like the way they are blended with the white toilet and vanity with the parquetry flooring - it softens them. Classic but edgy!
