Kitchen and Bathroom Tiles: Subway, White, Elongated and Artisanal
Quick answer: for kitchens and bathrooms, wall tile comes down to three decisions. Format: subway 10x20, elongated 8x31.5, small 13x13 or 20x20, or large format 32x99 with fewer joints. Finish: gloss gives more light and cleans very easily; matte is more contemporary and doesn't reflect. Style: timeless white, color, or artisanal pattern. All our wall tiles clean easily and are suitable for wet areas.
Genova: 10x20 flat with an intense gloss, or the beveled Sestri style, the classic Paris subway tile. White, vanilla, navy, cherry and black.
Urbino: 10x20 Mediterranean gloss in seven colors, with matte whites, patterns and relief.
Cagliari: 10x20 high-gloss in ten colors, from pure white to marsala and black.
Elongated and Small Formats
Camogli (gloss) and Rapallo (matte): 8x31.5 cm with tonal variation, in colors from white to emerald. They look spectacular laid vertically or in herringbone.
Ancona: 13x13 matte in seven colors, from white to indigo.
Pescara: matte black and white in 10x20 and 20x20, for checkerboards and Parisian-style bathrooms.
Artisanal and Patterned Tiles (20x20)
Perugia: soft matte with six solids and eleven printed designs.
Gaeta: the glossy version, with six colors and seven designs.
Trapani: four families of hand-drawn patterns, also available in a mixed box of 25 designs.
Volterra: deep colors (navy, jade, burgundy) with the Peccioli pattern and Pomarance relief.
Frascati: 23x33.5 and a 7.5x33.5 slat in soft tones, with the Nemi floral pattern.
Gloss: reflects light and makes small spaces feel bigger; very easy to clean on kitchen backsplashes.
Matte: warmer and more contemporary, doesn't glare, and hides water spots better.
White-body: a more stable base, ideal for light colors and large formats.
Red-body: the traditional base for subway tile, sturdy and affordable. Both work equally well on walls.
Layout Ideas
Offset subway pattern: the classic look, shifting half a tile on each row.
Vertical stack: more modern, and makes the ceiling feel taller.
Herringbone: with elongated formats, for a decorative kitchen backsplash.
Contrasting grout: grey or black grout on white tile to highlight the pattern.
Frequently Asked Questions
Gloss or matte for the kitchen?
On a kitchen backsplash, gloss cleans more easily and gives more light. Matte is more contemporary and doesn't reflect. Both hold up well against grease and steam.
Can I use wall tile on the floor?
No. White-body or red-body wall tiles aren't designed to withstand foot traffic. For flooring, choose stoneware or porcelain, such as hydraulic-effect porcelain.
Which tile makes a small bathroom feel bigger?
Light colors in gloss or large format (32x99) with thin, matching grout lines. Laying an elongated tile vertically also adds visual height.
