Subway Tiles
Subway tiles originated in the early 20th century from the New York City subway system's design ethos simple, practical, and timeless. Typically rectangular and ceramic, they were chosen for their ease of cleaning and ability to reflect light in underground spaces. Today, subway tiles remain a staple in interior design for their versatility. They effortlessly complement various styles, from vintage to modern, in kitchens, bathrooms, and beyond. Their straightforward shape and classic appeal continue to make them a popular choice for creating clean, sophisticated surfaces that evoke a sense of urban nostalgia and contemporary elegance alike. Whether glossy, matte, or textured, subway tiles offer versatility in design perfect for creating traditional layouts or modern patterns, blending timeless elegance with contemporary style in interior spaces worldwide.
