Subway Tiles

[lankeela]

seem to be all the rage on home refurbishment shows but I think they are gross. They remind me of Turnpike Lane tube station toilets.

Didn't know Turnpike Lane tube had toilets!!

I think they can look good if the kitchen is quite sleek or industrial but mustnt be overdone.

I agree with Mamya. Some great examples on Instagram:

it does have toilets by the way, but they don;t have tiles as i recall,

They do look a bit 'utility' - might be OK in the right kitchen. They wouldn;t be for me though as it's never a good idea to follow fashion when it comes to something as expensive as a kitchen.

I can't look at them without remembering the smell of pee

Replaced my inherited twee kitchen tiles with those some years ago. Looked just fantastic.

They work well in small spaces. The grout colour can make a lot of difference too.

I like the herringbone layout - examples:
