While I will always love a white subway tile in the kitchen, nothing will pain you more than having to scrub the grout lines clean from time to time. Which is why it’s no wonder that so many interior designers and home owners are opting for alternatives to tile.
Continuous materials like this backpainted glass, slabs of marble or quartz, and stainless steel are beautiful substitutes, easy to clean, and are ideal if you don’t want the pattern of grout lines in your kitchen.
