How to Decorate Your Kitchen with Subway Tiles

How to Decorate Your Kitchen with Subway Tiles

Get a classic kitchen vibe in a snap.

It doesn't matter what your design aesthetic is or how much space you have, one thing's for sure: Subway tiles are a failsafe addition to virtually every kitchen. Inspired by the tiles that line New York City subway stops, subway tiles have been on the rise ever since they were discovered in 1904-and for good reason. Beloved for their versatility, their rectangular shape is simple enough to act as a blank canvas, yet can make a statement when reimagined in a fun color.

That being said, subway tiles are far from boring. With the right design cues, the design staple can be the perfect finishing touch to any space. Have a look at the awe-inspiring kitchens below. From rustic rooms to modern marvels, these spaces prove just how versatile subway tiles can be.



Modern Marvel


Nestled on Bainbridge Island, designer Taylor Ogle gives this subway tile-clad kitchen a modern spin with open shelves, marble countertops, and sleek, wooden cabinets.



Contrasted Corner


In this 1890s Southampton home, the black subway tiles give this contrasted kitchen an elevated edge. A crisp white hood and geometric floor tiles complete the look.



Tile Takeover


As this New Jersey kitchen proves, subway tile shouldn't be restricted to behind your stovetop. Nannette Brown added American Olean tiles to the ceiling, stove's backsplash, and a curved wall.



Colorful Cabinets


In this modern Washington, D.C. home, interior designer Zoe Feldman gives the classic subway tile backsplash an updated twist with Farrow & Ball's Card Room Green. Brass fixtures, a marble countertop, and steel farmhouse sink bridge the gap between old and new.



Classic Canvas


If your personal style leans more to the maximalist end of the spectrum, a crisp set of subway tiles is a clever way to add some decorum to your kitchen. The backsplash in this Hollywood Hills home breaks up the custom-made cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball's Hague Blue and Granada Tile's patterned flooring.



Pop of Color


Contrary to popular belief, white isn't the only hue for subway tiles. This Maren Baker-designed space offers a fresh take on this beloved kitchen trend by pairing soft green tiles with white cabinets.



Go Big With Grout


Looking for a way to make a statement in a simple black and white kitchen? Create contrast with your tile grout. In this Hamptons home, the juxtaposition between the crisp white subway tiles and black grout make a statement in all the right ways.



West Coast Flair


Mark D. Sikes infused a California cool aesthetic into this Portola Valley kitchen by juxtaposing a soft gray backsplash with crisp white cabinets. Roller shades, woven chairs, and several textured area rugs round out the space.



Unique & Timeless


In this kitchen from Cooper Pacific Kitchens, glossy white subway tile pairs seamlessly with artful accents, including orb-style light fixtures.



Gold Standard


The team at Lisa Berman Design used subway tile as a backdrop for standout details.
