Which blue subway tiles are there?
Subway is the most familiar shape for blue tile on a bathroom wall, and it comes here in ceramic, glass and terracotta. Seafoam glossy ceramic subway comes in 3x6 and 3x9, Ocean Drift is a matte ceramic subway in 3x9, and Ege is a satin glass subway in 3x9, all listed for shower walls. Ocean leather glazed terracotta subway brings a softer, handmade surface and is listed for shower walls too. For backsplashes, Haiku Sapphire and Blue Shimmer glass subway mosaics come in 2x6. Matte and leather blue subway pieces have a softer face than the glossy ones. More shapes are in subway tiles.
Light blue or navy?
The shade decides the mood of the room. Pale choices include Seafoam glossy ceramic in subway, diamante and hexagon shapes, Renzo Sky and Bay Blue glossy ceramics, and Infinity Sky, a stone look porcelain in 12x24, 24x24 and 24x48. Darker choices include Urbano Navy and Renzo Denim glossy ceramics for walls and backsplashes, and Roca Flow Cosmic Sapphire, a polished ceramic in 3x12. Between them are Vision Color Ocean Blue and River Blue, resin look porcelain in 12x24 and 3x12. A navy wall with a pale floor is a combination that rarely goes wrong.
Glass tile with depth and shimmer
Glass gives blue tile depth and reflection. MSI's Blue Shimmer line comes in subway, picket, chevron and arabesque mosaics, Citi Stax Lapis and Urban Wave Lapis come in thin 3 mm glass patterns, and Colosseo Azul and Boathouse Blue come in brick and picket layouts. Blue Matte beach glass mosaic has a frosted face and is listed for shower walls, and Hawaiian Blue 1x1 glass mosaic is listed for floors as well as backsplashes. More glass is in glass tiles.
What is listed for the shower?
For shower walls, the ceramic choices are Seafoam, Ocean Drift, Roca Flow Cosmic Sapphire and the Azure crackled accent tile, and the glass choices are Ege subway and Blue Matte beach glass. In porcelain, Infinity Sky, Vision Color Ocean Blue and River Blue, Bluestone Blue Select and Thermal Blue Select, Elite Color Blue and Deco XL Blue Peony are listed for shower walls, interior floors and backsplashes. For the shower floor, Azul Laguna is a glossy 4x4 ceramic tile listed for shower floors. Smaller tile for a shower floor in other colors is in mosaic bathroom tiles.
Patterned and crackled accents
Blue is the classic color for patterned tile. Azure crackled Vienna and Jules glossy Ennis accent tiles, Fortuna crackled Sofia decorative tiles and the Blue Glossy Polca colore look ceramic mosaic bring a Mediterranean, hand-painted feel to a shower niche or a band above the vanity, and Blu Esercito glazed wall decos in 4x12 add a decorative piece for a feature wall.
Floors in stone and porcelain
For the floor, Bluestone Blue Select and Thermal Blue Select porcelain give the gray-blue look of natural bluestone in 12x24 and 24x48, and Elite Color Blue is a terrazzo look in 24x24. Blue Pearl is a polished blue granite in 12x12, and the Azul scallop and penny round porcelain mosaics and Armada glossy zellige are listed for floors as well.
Finishing a vanity wall
Trim pieces make a blue backsplash look complete. Bay Blue includes a 2x6 beveled subway alongside its 4x12 glazed tile, Urbano Navy has its own bullnose, and the Renzo Sky and Renzo Denim lines include bullnose and narrow liners. Against a white bathroom tile floor a blue vanity wall looks crisp, and next to gray bathroom tiles it looks cooler and quieter.
