Glossy Subway Tile Backsplash
Even if it seems like a small detail, backsplashes are one of the most important elements that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. While today endless design options for these backsplashes, there is one tile design that is the staple of the interior design world: subway tiles. Recognized by their simple rectangular shape, these tiles exude subtle elegance that can easily enhance any kitchen design. The origin of the subway tiles dates back to the early 1900s. These timeless white tiles were first used in New York City subway stations, hence their name. Today, you can find lots of different design alternatives with subway tiles but the traditional ones were glazed white ceramic tiles. And these glassy subway tile backsplash designs are a go-to choice for kitchen walls.
Subtle Elegance of Glossy Subway Backsplash Tiles
Being one of the most timeless and versatile options, glossy subway tiles can instantly elevate the look of your kitchen or bathroom with their sleek, reflective finish. Moreover, their reflecting surface reflects light on them to brighten up dull and dimly lit areas, and this works to make the spaces appear wider, larger, or more open than they actually are. Traditionally, the standard size of a subway tile is 3×6 inches but these rectangular tiles are readily available in a variety of sizes and materials. Any rectangular tile that measures twice as wide as they are tall can be used to create a subway pattern. Here we compiled a list of designs centered on glossy subway tile backsplash designs. Check these kitchen designs that will spark your imagination and get a better idea about subway tiles in a variety of colors, sizes, materials, and patterns that create focal points effortlessly.

Is matte or glossy better for backsplash?
Even though this is a frequently asked question for homeowners, the decision of whether a matte or glossy tile is better for backsplash depends on several factors. Both matte or glossy finishes can be used for the backsplash tiles and both of them have different impacts. Glossy backsplash tile is the classic variant; its surface is shiny and reflective, allowing light to bounce around the room. This can create a feeling of a larger space and make it feel more spacious relatively easily, which is especially helpful in small kitchens or those with limited natural light. Also, this glossy finish provides easier-to-clean surfaces, enhancing practicality. On the other hand matte tiles have more moderate and underlined looks: creating a relaxed and natural look, these tiles give the room a softer and more subdued ambiance.

Do glossy tiles lose their shine?
The general bright sheen of the tiles is actually due to a varnish or resin epoxy layer. Over time, the natural oils and sealants wear off, loosening the luster of the surface sheen of glossy tiles. Therefore, maintaining them properly is of great significance. With proper care and regular cleaning, you can keep them looking amazing for years to come.

Glossy White Subway Tile Backsplash
In the early 1900s, designers came up with a plain, white, rectangular tile measuring 3 x 6 inches, thereby giving birth to what is presently known as subway tile. The reason this design was chosen was because of its glossy and easy-to-wipe-clean surface, suitable for the high-traffic, public nature underground. Since then, a glossy white subway tile backsplash has been a classic for a variety of interior design applications from bathroom walls to kitchen backsplashes.
Quickly after being found in the subway, the tile, marrying cleanliness to beautiful, timeless design, became popular for its practicality and aesthetic appeal. Simple shapes combined with glass-like shine have made them a staple for interior design over the past hundred years. Whether you seek to design your kitchen around modern or traditional elements, a glossy white subway tile backsplash will turn out to be the perfect addition to any kitchen.

Do gloss tiles scratch easily?
Yes, glossy tiles may scratch more easily than matte tiles, especially if they come in materials such as ceramic or glass with a very smooth reflective surface. Of course, scratching will very much depend on various factors, which include material, finish quality and the type of exposure to abrasive elements. But do not worry: where glossy tiles scratch way more than matte tiles, proper care and the right cleaning practices will make the scratches less noticeable, letting them look polished.
