Vertical stacked white subway tile.

This pattern is a more modern look and therefore works well with full tile walls like in a bathroom or as a statement wall in the kitchen or by the hood. For wall spanning applications choose large individual white subway tiles found in 3x6 inch 4x8 inch and 6x12 inch forms and use white or light grout to prevent the tiled walls from appearing too fussy.

The eye will instantly be drawn to the dark vertical lines created by the grout. I noticed that with white stacked tile horizontal or vertical i immediately get a cold industrial feeling unless the tiles are handmade with an uneven finish.

Stacked vertical alternating create a visually interesting shower wall by using the vertically stacked subway tile pattern but then offset the rows.
