Subway Tile Ideas: Mix and Match
Finally, you can mix it up. Subway tile lends itself to mixing since it's typically solid in color. It can act as a neutral or an accent.

Do you have Subway Tile in your home -- or are you planning to use it for a renovation? What colors, patterns, and materials do you prefer?
P.S. If you are looking for a quick or inexpensive fix, try a Faux Brick Backsplash as an alternative to Subway Tile.
I always like the look of Subway tiles. The light green ones are really pretty.
They give that bathroom a very relaxed, calming, feel.
I really like the way subway tiles look. They are so clean, especially in white.
These spaces are gorgeous. I love subway tile!
Thanks for stopping by!
How did I miss this super helpful and super pinnable post?!
I pin asap.
Thanks for pinning!
Wow, all of these rooms are gorgeous with the subway tiles! I would love to renovate our kitchen and use subway tiles as our backsplash.
I know, I'm experiencing some room envy 😉
These are all so pretty. We have subway tile in our guest bathroom and I love it. I want some in my kitchen now! Thanks for sharing.
I think it would be one of my first choices in a renovation. So classic!
I'm currently having a love affair with Subway Tile...thanks for feeding my obsession! Will be sharing with my readers...thanks for sharing at Remodelaholic
Thanks for sharing, Natalie!
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.
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:

Looking to receiving the template for subway tile! Great ideas!!
Sent you an email!
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
