Are subway tiles a good choice for Indian kitchen walls?

Yes, subway tiles are an excellent choice for Indian kitchens. They are easy to clean, resistant to oil and grease splatters common in Indian cooking, and their smooth glazed surface wipes down effortlessly. They also work well in both small and large kitchens and suit a variety of design styles from modern to traditional.

What size subway tiles are best for a kitchen backsplash in India?

The most popular subway tile size for Indian kitchen backsplashes is 3x6 inches (75x150mm), which gives a classic look. However, larger formats like 4x8 inches or 4x12 inches are trending in modern Indian homes as they create a sleek, contemporary feel with fewer grout lines, making them even easier to maintain.

What grout colour should I use with white subway tiles in my kitchen?

For Indian kitchens where cooking involves turmeric and strong spices, we recommend using a mid-tone grey or beige grout rather than white. White grout tends to stain and discolour over time. A grey grout also adds contrast and a modern look to white subway tiles. If you prefer white grout, opt for an epoxy-based grout which is stain-resistant and easier to maintain.
