[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the hotel looking tile, so easy to clean. White is scary, grout is scary.[b] I like subway tiles but sometimes I ask myself why are we trying to imitate a subway? [/b]Best and most timeless bathrooms I've seen are marble with brass, not cheap but classic.[/quote] The answer is that the Victorians were into cleanliness and learning about sanitation. A white, glossy ceramic tile is easier to clean than wood, which is what was there before. And it’s easy to *see* that it’s clean. They put it in the subways to reflect light. The two uses are unrelated. They don’t imitate each other. [/quote]
