Metro Tiles

Always In Fashion 

Metro tiles, sometimes called subway tiles, have been one of the tiling sensations of the past decade and they show no signs of going out of fashion. In the past, metro tiles might have been used only as kitchen or bathroom tiles, but owing to their period charm, you can now find them in any room in the home. Their clean and simple shape lends itself well to all spaces, and you can arrange your metro wall tiles in a multitude of ways, from straight lines to classic brick bonds or timeless herringbone patterns. 
 

Victorian Style 

Metro tiles hark back to the Victorian period, and were used to cover London Underground stations when they were first built in the 1800s. White metro tiles were used exclusively because, pre-electrification, it could get dark down there and they reflected more light. White is an ever popular choice in homes, but there is now a huge choice of metro tile colours to elevate your interiors. 

However, the real beauty of metro tiles comes in the detailing. From a distance, they might all look uniform, but step closer and you can see intricate designs, such as bevelled edges, crackled glaze details or ripple effects. These subtle but stunning features are what make metro tiles a perfect backdrop for any design project.
