I think it is timeless too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2755254 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 14:38:56 +0000 snowjewelz 2755254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looove herringbone! Tho one of the subways is probably more timeless. But I'd just go with the herringbone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2755130 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 12:23:13 +0000 codeitall 2755130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I agree. I looked at that bevel and thought, ugh, that would be hard to clean. And I don't even have a tile backsplash to clean in my current place :silly: </p> <p>I think the subway tile is the most timeless of the options, but I also agree that kitchen trends go in and out of style a lot, so just pick what you will like the longest :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2755084 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 11:15:36 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2755084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flat subway tile is most timeless.</p> <p>I like the marble herringbone too, but it is VERY trendy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2755063 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 10:13:58 +0000 mediagirl 2755063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you choose? I love the beveled subway tile but it's a lot harder to install. I'd go the subway tile (either type) and feel confident it is timeless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2755053 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 09:47:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2755053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with picking what you like. </p> <p>I dont really care for subway tile with the veins (I just like the white or a solid gray). So if youre doing the marbled then I would go with the herringbone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2755052 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 09:44:05 +0000 krispi 2755052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the flat marble subway tile will be the most timeless. It's what we have in our kitchen, although it was chosen by the builder not us. </p> <p>I really like the look of the herringbone pattern though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754751 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 07:32:44 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2754751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did solid white beveled subway tile and I love it! It was SO much less expensive than a more labor intensive tile so we had more money to slend on appliances. That herringbone pattern is really pretty too though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754654 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 16:59:14 +0000 MaryM 2754654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the color of the beveled tile with the flat subway tile. </p> <p>I feel like the bevel would be so hard to clean </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754628 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 16:01:22 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2754628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think our place right now (pre-renovation), best matches the beveled subway. But I've been drawn to the herringbone since the beginning. I've just been worried about it being too trendy. You ladies have really helped ease my worries. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754625 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 15:59:38 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2754625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coral: We're totally gutting and extending the kitchen. No pictures yet because the builders are booked solid and haven't started. But I do need to settle on the tile so I can finalize the countertop, which will take some time to order.</p> <p>@Mrs. Pickle: @shabang: Good point!</p> <p>@MaryM: I agree with you about the dark veins. Some displays of the flat subway tile looked had too much contrast for my liking. The other 2 seemed much lighter in color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754592 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 14:27:13 +0000 Meowkers 2754592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think herringbone is the most timeless. I like the look of subway tile as well but I think it's a trend (derivative from the 20s and 30s) that will pass before herringbone does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754563 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 12:48:28 +0000 Coral 2754563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: Do you have a picture of your kitchen layout? As in where it would go? I think that makes a huge difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754560 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 12:46:06 +0000 atoz 2754560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're doing a smaller tile like the ones pictured for the herringbone, then I would go for the herringbone layout. Otherwise, I'd do the regular running bond layout (subway). Love them all though, and I think they're all pretty classic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754559 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 12:44:40 +0000 MaryM 2754559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the look of flat subway best, but don't like the contrast of the dark veins in that particular tile </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754557 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 12:41:01 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2754557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the Herringbone best with that design, then Subway second! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754551 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 12:27:45 +0000 skinnycow 2754551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the herringbone best but I think subway tile is probably more timeless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754541 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 12:01:16 +0000 smocks 2754541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In this color palette, I like 1, then 3, then 2 the best.</p> <p>Herringbone probably isn't "timeless" but I like this particular pattern/color. I don't think I'd like it as much if it had more color to it.</p> <p>The beveled subway tile is probably the most "timeless" but that's because it's what you see on exteriors on any brick home. That's what it reminds me of. I like it, but I like the herringbone you showed better for a kitchen.</p> <p>The middle subway tile reminds me of something I'd pick for a shower. I think it's nice, but it wouldn't be my selection for my kitchen.</p> <p>*I am NOT a designer in any way, shape or form. Just giving you unbiased thoughts :) go with the one that speaks to you, you can't go wrong with any of those choices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754533 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 11:44:27 +0000 FaithFertility 2754533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love subway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754529 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 11:24:55 +0000 Maysprout 2754529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the herringbone in these pics but in other pictures I think it often looks really busy/distracting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754528 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 11:21:41 +0000 shabang 2754528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the herringbone the best! I would pick that. </p> <p>I think the beveled subway may be the most timeless. But pick what you like - what are the chances that someone moving into your house in the future (if you're considering the timelessness for selling potential) will have your same tastes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754527 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 11:20:58 +0000 looch 2754527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about timeless, but I like the herringbone pattern the best. It's the most visually interesting to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754524 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 11:17:57 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2754524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of them are timeless although they go in and out of also being trendy. Subway title is the safest choice. Herringbone is the most interesting and what I think you should go with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754520 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 11:10:39 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2754520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the honed subway tile had the best chance of being more timeless, but they all look nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754513 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 10:56:30 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2754513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you should just pick what you like best. I think it's hard for kitchen designs to look timeless. Honestly in 10-15 years white cabinets and subway tile will be dated just like wood cabinets and granite is dated now (which is what I have.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-tile-is-more-timeless#post-2754507 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 10:46:28 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2754507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've added a poll.
