Looking to refresh your kitchen or bathroom? There's one wall tile that consistently reigns supreme for its versatility, style, and enduring appeal - the classic subway tile.
At Delforno Tiles, we're proud to offer an extensive range of subway tiles in a variety of colours and styles, ensuring you'll find the perfect match for your home's unique style. We’ve watched them become a staple in Irish homes, a go-to choice for homeowners, designers, and builders alike.
First appearing in New York City subway stations over a century ago, the subway tile was prized for its clean, simple aesthetic and incredible durability. Its glazed, rectangular shape was not only easy to clean but also brightened the dimly lit underground spaces. Today, this iconic design has transcended its utilitarian origins to become a cornerstone of modern home interiors, and it's easy to see why.
The classic rectangular shape and brick-like pattern provide a foundation that is both timeless and adaptable. Whether your style is rustic farmhouse, sleek and contemporary, or something in between, subway tiles provide a perfect backdrop. They’re a smart, stylish choice for any homeowner looking for a design that will stand the test of time.
Our collection includes both flat and beveled edge subway tiles, each offering a distinct and captivating look. For a minimalist, clean, and modern feel, our flat subway tiles are an excellent choice. Their smooth surface creates a seamless finish that is easy to clean and reflects light beautifully, making any space feel brighter and more open. This is particularly effective in smaller bathrooms or kitchens where maximising light is key.
The bevelled edge, on the other hand, adds a touch of classic elegance and texture. This style creates a subtle three-dimensional effect, catching the light and adding a layer of visual interest to your walls. They are a fantastic way to introduce a bit of traditional charm and depth to your kitchen or bathroom, reminiscent of classic Victorian tiling. The interplay of light and shadow on the bevelled edges can create a stunning visual impact that elevates the entire room.
The practicality and aesthetic appeal of subway tiles make them the ultimate choice for both kitchen tiles and bathroom tiles. A kitchen splashback made from subway tiles is a classic choice for a reason. They provide a robust and easy-to-clean barrier that protects your walls from splashes, spills, and cooking grease, all while adding a layer of style that is both functional and beautiful.
Our white subway tiles are a customer favorite, bringing a crisp, clean feel to any subway tiles kitchen. Paired with contrasting grout, they can create a stunning graphic effect, from a classic black grout on a white tile to a softer grey for a more understated look. For a bolder, more dramatic statement, consider our range of black tiles. A black splashback exudes sophistication and modernity, particularly when paired with lighter cabinetry or metallic accents.
From full-wall coverings to shower enclosures, subway tiles are a brilliant option for bathrooms. Their smooth, non-porous surface is hygienic, easy to wipe down, and moisture-resistant, making them ideal for high-humidity environments. Imagine a serene and spa-like atmosphere created with our array of neutral tones, or make a splash with a vibrant hue that brings personality and energy to the space. The versatility of the subway tile allows you to lay them in various patterns - the classic brick bond, a modern vertical stack, a herringbone pattern, or even a classic basketweave - to create a truly bespoke and personal design.
While classic white and black tiles are always in vogue, our collection features a vast palette of colours and finishes. Explore soft pastels like mint green or powder blue, earthy tones such as cream and beige, and vibrant hues like deep navy or forest green to create a space that truly reflects your personality. We also offer a variety of sizes and finishes, including a high-gloss sheen that adds a touch of glamour and a sophisticated matt finish for a more contemporary look. The possibilities are truly endless.
