If you ever watch HGTV, you are definitely familiar with the term “subway tile. Subway tile (by definition) is “a style of white glazed ceramic tile, as used on the walls of the New York City subway stations in the early twentieth century, especially the 3" × 6" size then used.
In the design world, white subway tile is used all over the home from kitchen backsplashes to shower walls. However, did you know that subway tiles are also available in many natural stones such as marble, travertine & even limestone? Introducing a 3x6 stone into a kitchen backsplash gives a much different design element than the smooth, glossy feel of a traditional subway tile. Carrara Marble, Silver Travertine, and Coastal Sands LimestoneIn this kitchen, we paired a Tumbled Silver Travertine 3x6 with Casa Imperiale granite countertops. The natural color variation in the Silver Travertine picked up all of the beautiful colors in the granite and contrasted nicely from the soft white cabinetry. We love how it turned out!
