Subway Tile Ideas: Grout
After choosing the Subway Tile color, the grout will be the next choice. A grout that is near the tile color creates a monochromatic palette. This look can create a neutral, subtle backdrop as seen in this kitchen backsplash.

Yet, grout can also be used to change the look of the tile — making it feel quirky, casual, or industrial. Contrasted grout creates a completely different look than matched grout.

doing 3 x 10 subway tile shower. I want to do probably 1/4 offset, horizontal. However I want to have 1/2 and 1/4 tile size pieces of a complementary color. Also the placement of the complementary color is more random/scattered than having a specific pattern. where can I see examples of this so I can show the person doing tiling what I want.

I don't have an example of that, unfortunately. This image may be helpful, it does have the 1/2 tile size mixed with full size tiles - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bd/1a/34/bd1a3472b79f2d0c85b70c8f7f0d2e21.jpg

Hello. I want to put the blue muted, shiny subway tiles in my Kitchen exactly like the ones in your picture from Fixer Upper. What tile maker makes these tiles. Thank you.

It doesn't seem to list the source tile for that Fixer Upper project anywhere, but here are a few similar options: 1. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Elida-Ceramica-Skylight-Subway-Glass-Wall-Tile-Common-3-in-x-8-in-Actual-3-8-in-x-7-75-in/1000238401 2. http://amzn.to/2xjvy8S (affiliate) 3. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Jeffrey-Court-Caribbean-Water-Gloss-3-in-x-6-in-x-8-mm-Glass-Wall-Tile-99514/202663560 4. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Jeffrey-Court-Skylite-3-in-x-6-in-Ceramic-Field-Wall-Tile-12-5-sq-ft-case-96317/300047986 5. https://www.lowes.com/pd/American-Olean-Color-Appeal-Powder-Glass-Wall-Tile-Common-3-in-x-6-in-Actual-2-87-in-x-5-87-in/50435146

Pink tiles are strange but also interesting at the same time. In my opinion, subway tiles era begins to fade

I think there is a movement toward more decorative tiles right now, but I'd imagine the white subway tile will stick around -- even if only in smaller doses.
