White Tiles What Grout Colour?

[wassyy]

evening there people,

I am looking for some advice really i am tiling the bathroom with 400x300 white tiles and dont know what colour to grout them.

i was thinking black,but could that be a bit to much? the tiles wiill be laid with a brick formation and they will be going on the walls.

If you do them black, the tiling would have to be spot on........

How about white.

Hi and welcome

white or black,if black make sure the tiling is flawless

sorry that sounds rude,what i mean is have you tiled before as anything barr a flawless finish with black gtout will look bad

Not keen on dark grouts with white tiles, not only does your tiling have to be spot on, but so do the tiles. It does show up every imperfection........ but it's all about personal preference and what you want at the end of the day.

:welcome: - I'd go for white - but if you do choose black do a test first to see if the colour bleeds into the side of the tile forming a 'frame'.

Also..... your finishing with the grout will have to be perfect aswell. Black grout on white tiles will show EVERY single uneven line in your finishing.

Agree with above though, White would be best

As Whitebeam says, your grout lines will need to be spot on if you go with black grout. Do you like the "in your face" contrasting look or the more subtle finish?

Personally, with a tile that size I would probably opt for brilliant white grout.

Another thing to consider is, if you grout in white then you can change the bathroom colour scheme over the years with a careful choice of towels and accessories. If you go with black you have pretty much dictated the colour scheme until you replace the tiles, IMO.

White would be my only choice.

Do you want to look at the tile or the grout?
Seen black and blue grout on white tiles and I think they looked horrendous

Black grout against white tiles can look messy if not spot on.The only time I thought it looked right was when I tiled car washes and we used a 10mm joint. I find when you use a darker joint than the tile, your eyes are drawn towards the joints and not the tiles.

Wassyy,

I have white tiles and white grout in my bathroom and black tiles with silver glitter grout on the floor. I think it looks good, but I'm sure not everyone agrees. You need to think carefully and make your decision based on what you like now and what you think you will like in 10 years, too.

Good luck,

Daz
