Out with the old (white subway tile), in with the new…

While subway tiles are a timeless classic and still a popular choice, they are often available in many beautiful colors for a more dramatic look.

For a more modern and stylish look try a geometric shape like a picket or a hexagon.

For a touch of luxury and sophistication try a natural stone.

A mosaic tile can be an attention grabber.

One of the newest looks is a mixed tile or fluted look which adds depth and visual interest.

Other unique options are leather, wood, or painted glass looks.

Also trending are large format tiles when appropriate in bathrooms or larger spaces.

Just be sure your installer has the experience & tools for large format. It would be best to hire a professional to do the work.

Go bold or go glossy! Don’t be afraid, a bolder color will pair nicely with a neutral countertop. A glossy finish will offer a sleek reflective surface.
