Subway Tiles for Kitchen Backsplash, Bathroom, and Showers

Subway & Brick Tiles

Deeply rooted in the history of construction and architecture, subway tiles are a ‘forever’ trend. A trend that’s never fading away or pausing to make headlines! Dating back to the 1900s, these subway tiles proved to be a staple when they were first used on the walls of New York City’s subway station. Defining clean lines, simple rectangular forms, plain colors, and majestic finishes - these tiles have become a fashion icon for the interior design industry. From New York City’s subway stations to residential and commercial bathrooms and kitchens - we’ve seen the ultimate functional transformation of the subway tiles.

We’re proud to showcase a wide array of subway tiles on our platform that can complement any design style and decor. A modern twist to the traditional classical style tile, our Magnolia Distressed Subway Tile is a high-quality rectangular subway porcelain tile with a smooth/glossy finish. They’re one of our best sellers, and we wonder why designers and homeowners are drooling over them repeatedly! Bringing another subway tile collection to your attention; the Vintage subway tile is an industrial approach to the traditional subway tile. It has a striking distressed look to encapsulate your bathroom or kitchen's rustic charm. Also, it pairs beautifully with exposed brick! Try, and you’ll know.

Even though these tiles vary in appeal and aesthetics - some characteristics they share are easy maintenance, longevity, durability, strength, and resilience against stains and food spills. They’re available in various finishes and sizes to suit one and all design styles and requirements. Country, yes! Modern Farmhouse Subway Tiles, yes! Modern, yes! Contemporary, yes! Traditional, yes! Even beveled subway tiles, yes! And not just restricted to the kitchen backsplash but you can style these subway tiles in your bathrooms, foyer focal walls, mudrooms, laundry rooms, and bedroom accent walls as well. Our Subway Tile collection can be applied to the walls and the floors of your bathrooms and kitchens. All you must do is keep an eye on the finish!
