This bath harkens back to Roman architecture with a spin on the classic subway tile. The elongated brick is fresh and different while still providing the clean lines for which subway tiles are loved. The tile shown is the Origin Ceramic in Misty Gray matte finish in 10 ½-inch-by-2½-inch dimensions. The shapes are laid out in a 1:3 ratio, which is the same way that the Romans used paving stones and building blocks. This provides the bath with style that transends time. akdo.com
