Subway tiles have long been a staple in interior design, offering a timeless and versatile aesthetic that suits both modern and traditional spaces. Whether used as a full wall covering or as a feature element, subway tiles provide endless design possibilities. At Banju Boutique, we offer a variety of options, from different layouts to finishes, allowing you to create a truly unique space.
Layout Options: Straight, Offset, and Herringbone
One of the greatest advantages of subway tiles is the variety of layout patterns available.
Straight (Stacked) Layout – A clean, contemporary arrangement where tiles are stacked directly on top of each other for a sleek, modern effect.
Offset (Brick Bond) Layout – A classic, staggered arrangement that creates a traditional and slightly rustic look, reminiscent of classic subway walls.
Herringbone Pattern – A stylish, eye-catching arrangement where tiles are placed at an angle, forming a ‘V’ shape that adds texture and movement to any space.
Glossy or Matte Finishes for Added Depth
Subway tiles come in both gloss and matte finishes, each offering a different aesthetic appeal:
Glossy subway tiles reflect light beautifully, making them ideal for smaller spaces or areas where you want to enhance brightness.
Matte subway tiles offer a softer, more muted effect, perfect for creating a modern and understated look.
Mixed Gloss and Matte Designs – For those who want a dynamic and unique look, combining glossy and matte subway tiles within the same space can create an interesting contrast and add depth to a feature wall.
Pairing Subway Tiles with Large Format Tiles
To enhance the overall design and visual appeal of your bathroom, consider using subway tiles as a feature wall in the shower area or as a backsplash behind the vanity unit, and pairing them with large-format tiles for the surrounding areas. The contrasting tile sizes will add texture and create a balanced aesthetic.
