Grout Goodness

While some outdoor bathroom spaces are conveniently accessible for days in the sun, they don’t always get a lot of natural light. One way to brighten up your space is to feature elongated subway tile in the classic color.

White Subway Tile 4x16 are larger in size, and when paired with darker grout lines, it’s given a subtle contemporary upgrade. This tight space looks bigger because the eye is carried throughout the bathroom thanks to the continuation of the wall tile throughout. 

Sparkling Reflections

For a modern aesthetic, select a subway tile in a different material, such as a glass tile like Arctic Ice Tile 3x6. The 3x6 tiles give a sleek yet elegant look to this new bathroom with its white crystalline glass. The tinted shower doors bring out the icy coloring even more. 

A 3-D Look

Going with a traditional white subway tile will not only add classic style to your bathroom, but it will also give your shower a crisp, clean look. One way white subway tile is literally elevated from the original is with its beveled edges.
