Alternative #1: Turn the subway. Make it go vertical and it's a whole new look. 

Alternative #2: Go stainless. The left pic isn't subway, but the look is amazing. Just as classic & functional as subway.

Alternative #3: Go small or go long. Get really tiny subway, or, get longer 2 x 8 tiles. A simple change in size creates some freshness.
