Vertical tile layouts have become a go-to for modern and minimalist interiors. Whether you’re updating a bathroom, kitchen, or laundry, laying subway tiles vertically can completely transform a room, making it feel taller, cleaner, and more contemporary.
Vertical Stack
In more modern homes, the vertical stack of a subway tile has become very popular. It creates a cool, contemporary look, and can help mesh styles by using a classic tile in a clean way.


Vertical Brick
Laying tiles vertically in any way can help elongate your walls or floors, laying them in a brick pattern as well provides more of a feature. The result is a bold, structured look with extra character. This style can work beautifully in Federation or Industrial-style homes, or anywhere you want to mix vintage shapes with a more modern layout.

Vertical Offset
This layout blends the feel of a vertical stack with the energy of an offset pattern. By laying the tiles vertically but offsetting them horizontally, you get a unique look that feels both playful and structured. It’s a versatile option for feature walls or full-wall tiling, and works in both classic and modern interiors.
