Subway tile

13 years ago
Now that I made up my mind and decided to get the subway tile. Here I am torn between two colors. Which one would look better, will it be the 2nd or 3rd tile from the left. Help please! :-)

    If so I think the second from the left would look nice

    #6 n top row to the right. Other ones to pale no contrast.

    Thanks all for your input. This is the look that I wanted to achieve. I have dark cabinets, dark hardwood and a giallo granite.

    Your inspiration pic appears to have glass tile not ceramic.

    Thanks Judy M for pointing that out. Do you think a glass tile would look better then than a ceramic subway tile?

    Glass tile all the way! It's just so gorgeous. Ur other tile kinda reminds me of bathroom tile :/

    It depends on the look you prefer, look at both options with your cabinet and counter, see what you prefer.

    The glass tiles in the pic seem
    To be rectangle, your option you show look square to me.
    So if that's correct that is another difference between your inspiration photo.
    Things to consider.

    Something for thought. out home was totally remodeled after a storm in 12/ 2007. We went with subway tile. The thing about subway tile.... You order the color you want.... not realizing that it comes in dyes lots.... we have the same color scheme as you. EXCEPT when I got to the house to check out the tile.... it looked totally GREEN!! Did not blend at all.... and it was a very high back splash. I was overwhelmed. Had others come to look and tell me what color it was.... each person said a shade of green. I just couldn't live with it!! The tiler told me that ' it's just the particular lot shade'!! He tore it all out the next day!! I guess I was very lucky with the second box that was ordered.... still had a weird hue of green.... although more brown- cream. I am going through some changes in our kitchen now.... please consider class tile for your kitchen.... little more expensive, but you'll love it. subway is less expensive.... but can't count on the right color.... trust me!!!

    Oh my, thank you all for your comments. I guess will have to think it over and visit my supplier again. This is the third time I'm changing my choice. :) First time, The designer suggested an accent in the middle of a plain tile but then didn't really like it much. Then a matte tile (see pic) Now a subway ceramic tile. So many choices. :) Could you please post a picture that I can use as an inspiration.
