This post discussion has helped me to clarify how i react to certain types and designs of tile.
Vertical stacked white subway tile.
Though the subway tiles are simply layered at 90 degree angles grout plays a huge role in transforming the cross hatch layout into a beautiful feature or focal point says vanessa.
The eye will instantly be drawn to the dark vertical lines created by the grout.
This pattern is a more modern look and therefore works well with full tile walls like in a bathroom or as a statement wall in the kitchen or by the hood.
This versatile pattern is a unique combination of horizontal and vertical stacking to create a standout geometric look.
The result is very modern and pleasantly unexpected a whole new way to look at a time honored classic.
Turned vertically and stacked so you don t get the offset you d see from a typical running bond.
This design by amber interiors uses colored subway tile in a brilliant way.
Stacked vertical alternating create a visually interesting shower wall by using the vertically stacked subway tile pattern but then offset the rows.
I noticed that with white stacked tile horizontal or vertical i immediately get a cold industrial feeling unless the tiles are handmade with an uneven finish.
