Subway Tile Decor Ideas: Unique and Beautiful Subway Tile DIY Ideas for Your Home
Subway tile kitchen backsplashes, subway tile bathroom walls, subway tile EVERYWHERE. One of the most popular home improvement projects lately is adding subway tile to ANY wall or area in your home.
WHY is it called “subway tile”? Simple – because it resembles the tile used in the New York City Subway which was first opened in 1904. Talk about a “retro” home decor idea! But oddly, something retro like subway tile is ALSO simply stunning in a farmhouse kitchen as well – heck, I’ve even seen subway tile used in farmhouse-style living rooms, too!
