White subway tile with black grout is a classic combination. Subway tile with black grout is commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms as tiling for showers, backsplashes, or accent walls. Black grout highlights the pattern and layout of white subway tile to give it an extra graphic kick. It also adds warmth and dimension to white tile to help prevent your space from looking too sterile.
Although subway tiles are generally 3 x 6 inches in size, longer rectangles give your space an elegant and elongated look. Subway tiles often come with a glazed finish, but matte white subway tile with dark grout is sure to offer up an effortless vibe. If that’s not enough to convince you, black is a great grout color because of how easy it is to keep clean—which means long-term maintenance is a breeze! Keep scrolling to see some white subway tile black grout designs we couldn’t take our eyes off.
