With a classic rectangular shape, subway tile is a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms. While traditionally installed horizontally, this tile also looks stunning when positioned vertically as well.
When subway tile is added vertically, it can create the illusion of a larger space. If you’re looking for inspiration for a small bathroom, here are the most inspiring vertical subway tile bathroom ideas designed to add height to your space.
Use White Vertical Tile From Floor to Ceiling
Installing white subway tile from the floor to the ceiling gives this bathroom a sleek, distinctive look. By installing vertical stacked tile throughout the space, the bathroom looks larger and feels like it has higher ceilings, even if the ceilings are standard or low height.

Classic white subway tiles adorn the upper half of the bathroom walls around the tub and shower in a vertical stack pattern, while larger black tiles below add a fun, two-toned element.

The use of straight lines in a vertical pattern like this, along with the straight lines of the rectangular mirror and vanity, all work together for a seamless look and a comforting, cohesive effect.
In this bathroom, soft, clay-colored subway tile on the walls contributes to the overall neutral color scheme for a warm, timeless look. Using neutral colors like this helps to create a blank canvas that can easily be punctuated with artwork and other items.

Elevate the Bathroom with Original Subway Tile Designs

This small bathroom proves that you don’t have to use tile and other design elements all in the same color. The luscious green subway tile adds a fresh, earthy component to the room, and a wood floating vanity topped with white round sinks gives it a fun modern touch.
The oval-shaped mirror, black faucets, and a pair of wall sconces look fun while adding functionality. Large square stone floor tiles in a neutral beige help to create a grounded effect.
