What is the Best Kitchen Tile Size?

Subway Tile: classic shape + classic pattern = timeless design! You may be familiar with this classic tile shape and its pattern but what you might not know is that there are many different size options. Choosing a size can seem like a daunting task when making final decisions for your kitchen design. So what is the best kitchen tile size? We are here to lend a helping hand by talking about one of our most popular sizes for Subway Tile!

3″x6″ Subway Tile

Much like the story of Goldy Locks and the Three Bears, A 3″x6″ Subway Tile backsplash works great in most kitchens because it’s not too small and not too large… it’s just right! This standard size is a favorite for many because when using a smaller size, you may find it too busy and a larger size may limit you on how much pattern you can fit in a given area. Whether you are tiling from countertop to bottom of the cabinets or tiling all the way up the wall, this size creates a beautiful range of backsplash beauty.

What do you notice right away? Handmade tile is going to appeal to someone that can sense the difference. For those that just need a “quick fix” and just need to “stick something on the wall”, a Big Box store will have that answer. Think of the comparison like shopping for the sake of shopping and grabbing something off the rack because it’s on sale. It’ll have inferior quality and likely it’ll end up in that pile of clothes you don’t love versus that statement piece you bought in a boutique that gets worn every day and becomes an extension of your personal style.
