Versatile, timeless and clean, white subway tile just works. Depending on how you choose to install it, this 3x6 size in any of our white tile colors is well-suited for an array of styles from traditional to contemporary. We have a range of whites you can choose from, so depending on the tone of white you prefer and whether you want a matte, gloss or a heavy crackle finish--we've got you covered. You can also make a statement with your chosen pattern: the classic offset, the transitional herringbone, a modern straight set or try a more geometic parquet pattern.
Below we'll show you our 4 favorite places you can showcase white subway tile:

The kitchen is often where most associate this classic shape. Whichever way you choose to set it, you've got yourself a wonderful focal point to echo your space's style.

You can really kick it up a notch and tile the whole kitchen in white subway tile. If you want to accentuate the shape and pattern (as they have done below), try grouting your bright white tile with a light to dark gray grout. For a softer look, match your grout to the white of your tile.
