My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

why did you choose undulating subway vs flat?

4 years ago

I’m trying to decide between a matte white subway versus a glossy undulating subway tile. I’m trying to understand the aesthetic effect of one versus the other. Of note, the floor is a large pattern tile (gray, black, very light gray).

    Sorry I missed this question! You have probably already made your decision.....but I'll answer anyway. I would ask a clarifying question first though. Are you vacillating between 2 undulating tiles, 1 matte and 1 glossy? Or a matte flat and an undulating glossy? II like both! It all depends on what else I have going on it the bathroom space. I might even mix them together! I almost always prefer an undulating tile over a flat one.....almost.
