Are subway wall tiles a good choice for Indian kitchen walls?

Yes, subway wall tiles are an excellent choice for Indian kitchens. Their smooth, glazed surface resists oil stains, masala splatters, and humidity very well. They are easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth, making them ideal for the heavy cooking that happens in most Indian households. They also suit both modular and traditional kitchen layouts beautifully.

What size subway tiles work best for a small Indian kitchen?

For small Indian kitchens, the classic 3x6 inch (75x150 mm) subway tile is the most popular choice as it creates an illusion of more space. If you want a more modern look, 4x8 inch or 4x12 inch subway tiles also work well. Lighter colours like white, off-white, or light grey further help small kitchens feel open and airy.

How many subway tiles do I need for my kitchen backsplash in India?

To calculate the number of subway tiles needed, measure the length and height of your backsplash area in square feet. Add 10 to 15 percent extra for cuts, breakage, and future replacements. For example, a standard Indian kitchen backsplash of around 20 square feet would need tiles covering 22 to 23 square feet.
