Elevating White Subway Tile


By: Tile Liquidators

Some would credit Joanna Gaines or other farmhouse style interior designers with the classic white subway tile concept that has become incredibly popular in the United States. Over a decade after “Fixer Upper” premiered, homeowners are still choosing this go-to style for their backsplashes and tile showers. Perhaps you love the white subway tile look, but you want to do something unique, to bridge the gap between what has been so popular for over ten years and where interior design is going in the future to capture the perfect “timeless” look. Our design experts at Tile Liquidators give their opinion on how to achieve an updated and elevated look inspired by white subway tile.

Classic White Subway Textured White Tile


Color: Warm earth tones as well as exuberant pops of color have been taking over the interior design trends over the last year. This is an excellent way to modernize the subway tile look with very little effort. Tile Liquidators stocks three different styles of blue hued rectangular tile starting around $5.49 Sqft.
Texture: If you truly love the classic white subway look but you just want to add a little something to it. Textured white tile looks so beautiful and just elevates your space. These tiles come in many sizes but usually have an irregular surface or edge. Think of this design as your classic white subway tile, but a little rough around the edges (pun intended)! Tile Liquidators has a 3×12 white textured tile in stock for $4.00 Sqft.

Shape: A more recent trend and probably the farthest from a classic subway tile is a change in shape. Picket shaped tiles (an elongated diamond) as well as square tiles are becoming more and more popular. While the picket shape adds an eccentric and exciting statement to your kitchen or bathroom, the square shape gives a simple and sophisticated look that typically blends in with your surrounding interiors.
Layout: Another option if you love the classic rectangle look whether you choose white, off white, or a pop of color would be the design layout of the tile. Three of our favorite options here at Tile Liquidators are stacked vertical, stacked horizontal, and herringbone. A unique design layout gives an entirely refreshed look to any rectangle tile.
