I was reading the blog over at Apartment Therapy recently and they had a nice post about different and unique uses for installing subway tile in a home. The “traditional” way to install subway tile is in the brick pattern on a wall which is timeless and looks beautiful. But there are other ways of installing subway tiles that can change the look of your space in ways you may have never thought of before.

Installing subway tile in a vertical pattern instead of a horizontal pattern can bring a whole new dimension to a room or area. More and more of our customers are trying out non-traditional ways of installing subway tiles that have really come out fantastic. One other favorite is to make a herringbone pattern over a stove area on a backsplash with the horizontal area of the kitchen backsplash remaining in the traditional subway tile brick pattern. The herringbone pattern can be done with 2” x 4” subway tiles while the brick pattern can continue with either 2” x 4” tiles or a 3” x 6” size. Either way will look quite nice and is yet another way to add visual interest to your homes tiled area.
