Choosing grout colour and what it does to a room
Grout colour changes a tiled surface more than most people expect. Matching hides the grid; contrasting celebrates it.
How it performs
Point 1
A tone-matched grout makes a wall read as a single surface, which suits large tiles and calm schemes.
Point 2
Mid-tone greys stay looking clean far longer than brilliant white in a family bathroom floor.
