Help deciding on grout colour for bathroom, with 3D textured tiles

Majority of our tiles have been laid in our ensuite. We are now struggling to decide on whether to use white or dark grout. We have dark floor tiles and dark tiles in the shower, which will be having grout to match.
One wall, with the vanity, has 3D textured tiles (gloss) and all the other walls are plain white gloss.
I always wanted white with white tiles. Husband wants dark.

Help! Which colours go with these bathroom tiles?
Comments (78)That is a hard one with those tiles. I would have to think if you did a white, it would kind of work with the colour of your tiles. At the end of the day, they do need to be replaces, but as you said, due to budgeting reasons, you cannot, I can pass on this photo of a nice bathroom with those tiles for you though for inspiration... : )...See MoreNeed help with deciding to go coastal paneling (white T&G panels)
Comments (43)Hi Tina, thanks for posting, it is all looking great. Shame about the panelling, but sometimes these things happen for a reason. It is great the armoire matches the doors so well when they are all on one wall, but I don't think you need to have the bed and side tables matching, especially when they are on another wall. My issue with painting furniture, while I love it, is the maintenance. It does chip over time and becomes one more thing to paint. I don't know what the timber is in your furniture but another possible option, especially to give you the coastal vibe is to lime it. To do this successfully, you will need to sand all the existing stain off it and go back to the raw timber. The darker the original timber, the less limed look you will get so bear that in mind too. I did an old bunk bed up that had seen better days, for my grands bedroom. It was a dark red wood, but with 4 coats of stain I got the look I was after which was that driftwood/coastal look. The whole thing looks totally new again. Sorry I can't post a photo as this function no longer works for me. Have a look at the Feast Watson range of liming stains, they have some gorgeous soft colours as well, but they let the timber show through rather than having the solid painted look. It is a very easy product to use, it dries quickly - I did the 4 coats over 2 days effortlessly. The hard work is in the sanding....See MoreBathroom tile HELP!!!!
Comments (9)Hi Sharella, I have specified these very tiles a number of times for first home buyer clients. I like the fact that you are putting the darker tile to the floor as I think it grounds the space better. You've also done the right thing by matching your grout to the tiles. Obviously the top picture uses a gloss porcelain tile to the floor, but this can be a slip hazard when wet. I think, with consideration to your budget, that you have chosen well. Are you splashing out and getting the black tapware? Good luck with your new home....See MoreReally need help with combining tile colours in bathroom and how?
Comments (8)I am just wondering whether it is a good thing or not to go with solid colours like the dark blue (prussian blue), grey floors and white on other walls all in tiles. I see that a lot of designers seem to do a pattern on one wall, but I haven't found one suitable and whatever I do, I just don't want it to look out of date in 5 years time. I am not sure how about much of the prussian blue tile is appropriate in order for it to be noticeable but not too overpowering....See More
