Grout is a very important part of the beauty of your finished tile project and it’s the third step to a durable, lasting tile installation. Some of you may think the biggest decision in designing your house is choosing the tiles! But that’s not true, the grout colour is just as important. The color of your grout will significantly impact your overall design. So, what grout color should you choose for your tile? Read on this article and you will learn how to select the best grout color for your tile and how to improve your interior design.

Tips On How To Choose The Right Grout Color For Your Tiles

1. Choose a pure color, non-flashing grout

The gaps in pure colors have a weak sense of presence. If you don’t grab the tiles, you will focus your attention on the tiles and highlight the beauty of the tiles. It is not recommended to choose the glittering grout sealant with sequins, because in small residential spaces, the observation distance is too close, the sequins will be particularly conspicuous, and the visual burden of modeling. The glittering grout sealing is more suitable for the large space hall of public building. However, even a pure color grout sealant has a little gloss and will not be completely matt, which is determined by the characteristics of the resin.

2. Choose a neutral color grout sealant

The neutral colors are more versatile, and the aesthetic white is not easy to make mistakes. In addition to the timeless black and white gray, there are vanilla, beige, light coffee and so on. Very rare dark blue tiles, with gray beautiful seams, the effect is very good.

3.To emphasize the existence of tile joints, choose a color that contrasts strongly with the tiles

• Black tile + white grout: White tile match with white grout is the most common usage of "contrast color".
• Dark tile + light color grout: Emphasize the sense of lines laid on the tiles. Some people worry that the light-colored grout sealant is easy to turn yellow? As long as it is found dirty and brushed in time, there is no problem.

• Light tile + dark grout: The most representative match is a variety of small white tiles and dark grout sealant, with sharp contrasts and strong lines.
• Small subway tile + dark gray grout: Because the edges of the subway tiles are curved, the light comes with a shadow and a three-dimensional effect. The brick joint uses dark gray with a contrasting color, which can make the three-dimensional sense stronger.
• Hexagon tile + white grout: Hexagon tiles are very small in size, and the seams should be as thin as possible (usually no more than 2mm) when paving, and then white grout sealants are very delicate.
• Aqua blue tile + white grout sealer: The bathroom is probably the most suitable place for aqua blue tiles. When you bathe, you will feel like you are wandering in the sea. The white grout sealer can brighten the color of the tiles one more degree, imitating the purest sea blue.

4. Choose a color similar to the tiles

• Light color tile + light color grout: It looks very clean and the space is more integrated.
• Small subway tile + white grout: The small subway tile can also be matched with white grout sealant, the effect is very clean, so that the pure impression is brought to the extreme.
• Hexagon tile + light color grout: If the hexagonal tile wall itself is light in color, and the color of the gap is also light, but you want to show the angle of the hexagonal tile leave the seam wide (depending on the size of the tile), and do not fill the gap too much.
• Marble look tiles + white grout sealant: The more popular marble patterns such as jazz white, fish belly white, snowflake white, etc. can be matched with white grout sealer.
• Marble look tile + light gray grout: If the overall color of the marble pattern is darker than gray, it can also be matched with light gray grout sealant. The choice of gray shades is similar to the stone texture, there is no sense of violation.

• Wood-look tile + same color grout sealer: To maximize the effect of mimicking a "seamless wood floor", the colors of tiles and grout sealants are close to the best.
• Encaustic tile + same color grout sealer: If it is a colored tile, it depends on what color is on the tile, and it can be used as the color of the grout. For example, if there are white on the tiles, you can use white grout. If there are gray color on the encaustic tiles, you can use gray grout.
• American rustic tile + ivory color grout sealant: Beige rustic tiles obliquely attached at a 45-degree angle are particularly common in American-style decoration, and they always appear with ivory stitching.
• Rustic tile + beige grout sealer: If you want a more retro feel, you can use a beige grout with a yellowish color, which has a more sense of time than a white grout sealing.
