Subway tile backsplashes have been the most popular tiles for their universal aesthetic value. They date back to 1940s London, thus suiting industrial, farmhouse, transitional, modern, and traditional, styles of designs, regardless of the function of the room, whether it be a kitchen, bathroom, showroom, or powder room. They can be laid out in many different forms, for example, vertically or horizontally stacked and diagonally or running-bond style. Each layout accomplishes a stylish and characterful design to caress the walls.
For instance, if you are looking for an authentic look, you can use handmade subway tiles, which have their imperfections. Terracotta tiles especially are great for achieving this sort of authentic look with protruding edges, sticking out, and not homogeneously blending for the sake of texture and visual richness. Additionally, the vertical layout also plays with the proportions of the room, creating optical illusions and making the kitchen look taller. So, you can lay the subway tiles vertically to benefit from them as a space-enhancing factor if you have a low-ceiling kitchen.

How to put tile spacer on the vertical backsplash?
Tile spacers are small and reusable plastic items ( if kept in good condition) that are used to install tiles evenly and achieve consistency. Thus, they are one of the essential materials to be used during the tile application process both by professionals and DIY lovers. However, there are a couple of nuanced details to consider. Let’s see what they are.
The size of tile spacers: The spacers can be cross or T-shaped, and their sizes vary from 1/8-inch to 3/8-inch. In this case, the grout line determines the size of the spacer. It is better to keep it thin so that there won’t be much space for dirt and stains to accumulate.
Installation part: After deciding the spacer size, you can start installing. The first tile is the most important part. To make things easier, you can start by the wall side and benefit from the cues of the wall line. Then you can start with the second layer after applying the adhesive to the wall. Put at least two spacers as the vertical tiles are much longer. You can even put more to ensure consistency. Lastly, let the spacers stay there until the adhesive completely dries up to prevent any misalignment, which will take up to 20- 30 minutes.

Should I lay tiles horizontally or vertically?
Conventionally, the tiles are laid out horizontally. That’s why in traditional and cottage-style kitchens, you mostly come across horizontally laid out tiles. Nowadays, both are used prevalently, and the answer to this question depends on the impact homeowners aim for. While horizontal tiles expand the visual scheme on the horizontal axis, vertical layouts give the illusion of a taller space. If you have a space with a low ceiling that feels too enclosed, installing the tiles vertically will be a strategic and clever use of space. But, aside from all these, in case you would like to use both, you can consider crosshatch, aka the basketweave patterns, to create a versatile and well-blended look.

Black Vertical Tile Backsplash
Black backsplashes are characterful and strong additions to affirm a sense of strength. Even though black seems to be a daunting color and concerns homeowners about whether it will make the space darker and feel smaller, it is more successful at achieving depth. Thus, with black backsplashes, particularly, you generally get the illusion of a receding wall, which in return creates the illusion of depth. It is also safe to go all black and create a monotonic theme, which will result in a satisfying design. In case you want to soften the black, you can incorporate pastel tones, light wood, and white cabinets.
Furthermore, matte finishes are great for revealing the authenticity of the black tiles, which is especially impactful for terracotta and soapstone tiles. But for a more sleek and eye-catching look, you can use tiles finished with gloss. Or, if you want a contrast, you can use white grout to highlight the patterns, which is popular with hexagon, square, and subway tiles. The same applies to the black vertical tile backsplashes which are great to add movement and expand the visual scheme vertically.
