Colored Subway Tile


An eternal classic, subway tiles are a traditional choice that stays true to vintages houses yet is sleek and minimal enough for modern houses. When I remodeled my bathroom, I choose a simple, white subway tile for the bathtub surround. I admit, it was the safe, predictable, cliched choice. It never occurred to me that subway tiles come in a variety of colors. Just changing the color of this tile breathes freshness in this classic tile.


Cornflower blue tiles is the perfect backdrop for this beach front cottage kitchen.


The red tile in Katherine Hammond's bathroom makes a bold, modern statement.

If I had the courage, I would have done my bathroom in pink glass tile. Available at www.modwalls.com for those of you brave enough to consider it.
