Help me chose floor tile with white subway tile
Comments (5)I like the dark floor tile because it matches with the dark glass tile. I think I saw in one of your other posts that your vanity will be a medium wood tone. All the colors would tie in together nicely. The white subway will keep the room looking crisp. Will you have a tub or shower only? I am also deciding on my bathroom tiles. One of my choices is having the same glass tiles like yours, but with glossy taupe colored subway tiles (matching the other glass tile color). I would like to do white subways like you, but we have a rust problem in our water and I'm not sure if I can maintain white grout/tiles. Do you think taupe subways with your glass mosaics would look ok? Or would the colors blend too much. I really like the white tiles you selected.......See MorePlease HELP! Maple Cabinets & White Subway Tile Backsplash
Comments (8)nik, Welcome! A couple of thoughts: if you love absolute black but are worried about maintenance, look at a leathered finish. It is much more forgiving than the polished finish to smudges, etc. There might be a reason you aren't seeing a lot of pictures with your color cabs and white tile - you might be right and it might be too bright. Try to get some sample tiles and bring them home and tape them to the wall to get an idea. You might find the answer really fast! Check the Finished Kitchen blog and Backsplash slideshow (link to FKB below, backsplash slideshow at FKB) for more pics to see if anyone else has done it - there are lots of successful rule breakers here! Maybe consider an off-white subway. Again checking a sample in your kitchen with your cabs and counter will help. If you both love the glass mosaic you might be able to incorporate it in a small area - like behind the backsplash or as an accent with 2 or 3 rows of mosaic between rows of subway - there are some examples in the finished backsplashes. Finally, congrats on making it this far! Here is a link that might be useful: Finished Kitchens...See MoreWhite 2'' x 6'' Subway Tile Sources?
Comments (9)I had the same problem. I love the subway tile look, and I wanted something glossy and a creamy off-white, but I needed something smaller than 3 x 6", and didn't want the more contemporary/busy look you get with the the minis. I finally found what I needed with Grazia Italian tile. It's handmade, which I wasn't looking for--I was fine with American Olean if they'd had the right size (I liked their Biscuit tiles). Grazia makes a 2 x 5.5" that might fit your needs, and it comes in crackle, glossy, or matte, depending on which line you go with, and it comes in a variety of colors. Mine are from the Essenze line, in Magnolia (which is the off-white). Here's a link to their website: http://www.ceramichegrazia.it/index.php?lang=2&content=home Good luck!...See MoreHELP: Matte of Glossy White Subway Tile (Kitchen Backsplash)?
