Vertical Subway Tile?

12 years ago

Wondering if it would look ok to put these 3 x 5 tiles on the wall vertically instead of horizontal? Just put 12 x 24 tile in same color on the bathroom floor.

One of my clients has vertical 4x12's & it looks great. you can get bigger sizes from Tap 'N' Tile, they can actually make any size you'd like. You can give me a call & i'll set it up for ya.

That would be a bit out of the 'box'.

If you like it, go for it. I've seen it done in TV shows, and thought it was very interesting.

I've seen vertical before. it seems kind of modern, so if that's the look you're going for your on track. I have a feeling it's just a trend, but who knows. If you like it go for it!

Recently i watched a DIY video for the same finish using 3* 5 tiles and they are really good for giving a better mod look. The other size would be too bigger and I don't think it would be better for what you have asked for.
