Flat or bevelled metro tiles?
Comments (37)I am not crazy about metro tiles as they look too busy to me but they do have their uses as splash backs or to tile a nichewhere a larger tile woud look ridiculous. My house had (until last week) an extremely ugly corner fireplace and breast piece up to the ceiling which I have ripped out. For now I am going to use the cast iron log burner with a metal chimney, to reflect some of the heat back and to make a feature of it I will line the walls with metallic metro tiles but have yet to settle on exactly how. There are oversized metro tiles available that look a lot better than the standard brick size which I prefer. As an alternative, in the past I have used metros diagonally within a frame using dado tiles for small areas as a feature....See MoreWhich metro tiles?
Comments (15)What colour grouting is what our clients always struggle with. When going for a metro tile and a wood finish vanity unit, we suggest the white tile with darker grey grouting. It will give the effect of a more rustic/industrial bathroom. Cream metro tile is suitable for more traditional victorian, does not look very fresh tbh. And white metro with white grouting is for more contemporary bathrooms, but we believe that way the metro brick effect wall looses its charm. Examples of all three are below. Good luck, I'm sure it will look great at the end. You cannot really go wrong with metro tiles, in whichever version they might be....See MoreMetro tiles for bathroom
Comments (4)Narrow metro tiles work nicely in a small bathroom, you just have to make sure you opt for a brighter colour to make the space look bigger. Try white, light grey, cream, sea foam.. The key for them to not look busy is the colour of the grouting. If you choose grouting colour that is similar to the colour of the tile, it won’t stand out and will blend the tiling layout pattern better. This look is also more contemporary. The bigger the contrast between the tile and grouting, the more industrial it will look. But you can’t go wrong with metro tiles! Our clients love it! In any colour and dimension. Good luck!...See MoreMetro tiles - changing colour outside of shower?
Comments (3)Dare I suggest not using metro tiles, unless you love them of course! I find too much tiling can make a bathroom look rather clinical and there are so many lovely tiles you could choose Instead. I think tile the obvious areas such as shower cubicle, around the bath and behind the sink. The rest of the walls can be painted. Here’s some ideas...See Moreannlew1
