In the 19th century, Metro tile ceramic made its appearance in the Paris metro stations. At the time, they were specifically used to illuminate walls and ceilings. Shortly after, subway ceramic tiles became a staple in the world of conceptual design.
If you’re wondering whether you should choose a flat or beveled subway tile, we’re here to help. The flat subway tile was the original choice for the metro due to its easy maintenance properties. As they gained popularity, we began to see the introduction of new shapes and designs, including the beveled subway tile. Offering a softer, warmer ambiance, the bevel is an excellent choice for spaces where comfort is key, like the bathroom and kitchen. The traditional flat style is ideal for a bold look. Their easy-to-clean design makes them perfect for kitchens, where there is heavy usage and activities ranging from washing to food prep, etc.
While the history of this ceramic style dates back quite a while, subway ceramic tiles are still extremely trendy today and widely used in kitchen and bathroom renovation projects. They perfectly represent the Parisian Chic style. While white subway tiles remain the most requested, they are now also available in a variety of colors, which are just as popular as white tiles. Available in various sizes, they effortlessly adapt to many different styles and designs. For a more bold, sleek look, you can apply a colored grout that matches the colors of your floor covering. Placed on large walls, this tile choice enlarges the space and adds a classic retro look.
