There are some patterns and designs which seem to never go out of style. Interestingly, it is the same with colors, especially neutral shades. Perhaps it’s the earthy colors such as ecru, rust, and mocha simply resonate on a very primal level. Maybe it’s merely how neutrals look fabulous with almost any type of décor. Whatever the reason, if you’re redesigning a powder room, atrium, patio or kitchen, you cannot go wrong with neutral tile choices.

One of the first types of neutral tile designs and material that can be seen in residences and commercial spaces is the forever-classic subway tile. Traditionally, these patterns were used during the Art Deco period in New York City’s subways, hence the moniker.

For those seeking a look that lifts their neutral tile to center stage, marble makes an elegant choice. White on white certainly never seems to lose its appeal and has a calming effect.
