Metro tiles, otherwise known as subway tiles, have been a classic choice for kitchens and bathrooms since their inception. Timeless though they may be, however, you'd be forgiven for tiring of the typical white glossy brick layout.
The good news is, they're extremely versatile. Not only are there a plethora of different variations for an intriguing tile design, but the ever-growing market now offers plenty of options to experiment with size, color, grout, and surface finish. 'Like jeans and a T-shirt, metro tiles are a classic, but we are seeing designers and homeowners wanting to take some more chances with colors, textures, and patterns,' explains Deborah Osburn of clé tile.
