What the designers like to pair white subway tiles and dark grout with

I started to see the look of pairing white tiles, dark grout with brass or gold faucets and fixtures a few years ago. Now the combination is stronger than ever. Often times it is also paired with dark rich wood. I really like this combination of textures and colors. The gold or brass fixtures give a nice pop of warmth and shine. Yes nickel or brushed nickel always looks good too and is a lot easier on the budget but there is just something so luxurious and unexpected about pairing inexpensive subway tiles with gold faucets.

 

I'd love to see rose gold colored faucets with this color pairing, I think they would

look fantastic. Perfect for a little powder room or half bath.
