Here are 6 homes, which incorporated the use of subway tiles stylishly. The homeowners also very boldly embraced some of the colour choices, such as this emerald subway tile-clad bathroom. Instead of cladding the walls entirely, the designer chose to stop midway and this strategy helps keep the interiors from looking overwhelming.
