The tile has movement and it's much lighter, my Kitchen needs light.
I just hate the darkness of it, it need a major reno with light. The tile draws your eye up depending on how it's intstalled.
An enormous range of color, shapes and sizes in this ceramic tile line from Ann Sacks. I love the chevron pattern shown here, but they also have classic 3x6 subway tile 2x4, 1x4, and more.
