Colours Of Metro Wall Tiles

Colours of Metro Wall Tiles

While vintage white is still popular, metro tiles are also available in a wide range of colours, allowing you to do everything from mixing black and white for a monochromatic look to going for a bright shot of colour to make a statement. Grey tiles are no longer the staple of drab office buildings, thanks to the popularity of grey as the go-to neutral of interiors. Grey metro tiles can provide a sophisticated backdrop for almost any look. Of course, the soft beige neutral metro is still popular; however, why not mix different shades of cream and brown for a sophisticated take on a traditional look?
