The Subway Tile Alternative That's Taking Over Kitchens Everywhere
By MELISSA EPIFANO
Square tiles are replacing the long-standing subway configuration and taking on the heavy lifting of creating functional and stylish backsplashes, walls, and floors in a kitchen.
Square tiles feel more modern and up-to-date than their elongated forebearer. Changing the backsplash or wall tile out for square tiles will have a drastic visual impact.
They have a timeless look and are easy to clean. Square tiles are easier to install than hexagonal or penny tiles, as applying grout is not as convoluted.
Square tiles blend in with various kitchen design styles and feature many color options, like deep glossy green. You can also customize their size, layout, and color.
