Subway tile has been around since literally forever. Chances are you’ve seen it somewhere today alone—the bathroom of your go-to cafe or maybe your own shower. It’s iconic, and for good reason. But even the most legendary design elements need a refresh every now and then.
“What’s next?” has been on our minds for a hot minute. A while back, we asked designers to weigh in on what the post-subway tile world looks like. And since then, there have been artful upgrades on the tried-and-true style, with Studio McGee’s fresh take being the latest one we’re completely obsessed with.
The new Ashton Meadows collection with Ann Sacks stars five different tiles available in five colors, from cool gray to oxblood, but it’s the glossy Scalloped Field Tile that has stolen our hearts and refused to give them back. This one feels like the cool younger sister of the classic subway, thanks to its wavy edges. Ringing in at just under $15 per square foot, it’s an investment that’ll absolutely make a statement.
Aside from the playful silhouette, this tile also puts whatever grout color you choose (cobalt blue, anyone? Get wild.) squarely in the spotlight. The ceramic tiles are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, so tub surrounds, ranges, accent walls, and fireplaces are all fair game. Just imagine hopping into a shower every morning that’s outfitted in those dark green beauties anchored with grout a shade darker. If that’s not a calming way to kick off a day, we don’t know what is—therapy, maybe?
