What colour grout for grey tiles?

Grout isn’t just just for filling in spaces between tiles, it frames the tiles and allows them to stand out and shine. Your grout is as important as the tile itself, so give it the appreciation that it deserves and take time in choosing your grout.

The colour of grout you choose will determine whether each individual tile stands out, or if they all blend together seamlessly. Matching your grout with your tile colour will make the grout lines become indistinct and create a uniform feature where the individual tiles aren’t visible and you view an overall picture of beautiful tiling. This works well when using patterned tiles like Patterned Hadrian Grey and Patterned Durham Grey, where the overall pattern can be admired from a distance with no line breaks or gaps.

If you want your tiles to stand out against the grout and highlight the beauty of each individual, pick a grout colour that contrasts. By contrasting the colours, you are drawing attention to the overall design and layout of the tiles. This creates a striking look, with the grout framing each tile and allowing it to be admired.

Use black or white grout on grey metro tiles displayed in a herringbone or horizontal design to give it a classic industrial look and create a strong design statement. This would also work on grey hexagon tiles like our Block Hex Acero Wall & Floor Tile which can be arranged to create an amazing feature wall. The beauty of these tiles is the distinct shape which allows you to create an eye-catching pattern.
