Battle Of The Metro Tile Splashbacks

6 years ago

Metro tile splashbacks are a surefire way to add some pizzazz to an often overlooked bathroom element. Both of these bathroom splashbacks are adorned with bold metro tiles and really add an extra 'wow' factor to their respective bathrooms. The first bathroom uses sleek white metro tiles to complement the unique tints found in the majestic flooring, meanwhile the second bathroom opts for a beautiful blue splashback to provide a dash of colour.

The 'metro' tiles would work well with the cream. The example at the Topps Tiles site is very similar (http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod966/metro-white-tile.html) and will probably help you decide. The 'metro' tiles glazing will 'amplify' any light that is available in your kitchen. The pattern of the metro tile also suits the 'line' design on your cupboards. I would suggest a very plain light grey tile without any grain for the floor to add just a little touch of a contemporary modern flair to the whole composition. The light grey will help create a 'base' to the whole layout and also help 'sober' down the cupboard and tile colours. I hope this helps.

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.

Hi Gemma, how about something like this? Blue and White Roses Patterned Tile Which would give you a pattern, but not be overpowering. Or maybe some of these scattered among plain tiles to break up the white? Blue Hydrangea Ceramic Wall Tile (dozens of other designs at https://www.floraltiles.co.uk/shop/) We also have some tiles ideas blogs with tile pattern examples, including patchwork patterns, which might help you in your research: Tiles Ideas Blog All the best with it!

Hi Diana, This depends on which tiles are chosen. The materials used and how they are made will all have an impact on this. Our Busca range is suitable for behind a cooker - https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/busca-bronze-bevel-glass-tile-prvw-vr~93829888
