Help deciding on grout colour for bathroom, with 3D textured tiles
9 years ago
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 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 MoreBathroom floor tile colour - pls help!
Comments (36)Hi Kirsty, could you please advise the colour of your vanity and whether it is a custom made one and if not, could you let me know its name and where you bought it. Also, what is the colour of your floors tiles and where did you get them from. (I have come to the conclusion that charcoal/dark grey tile plus a much lighter grey tile plus white on some walls plus a timber vanity or timber accessories in bathroom , plus white (or close to it) below sink counter top is the way to go for a beautiful bathroom. The trick is figuring out exactly what proportion of each colour to use and where to put them for each particular layout....See MoreHelp! I think I bought the wrong bathroom tiles
Comments (51)Sounds like a very stressful situation! If there is absolutely no way the builder will allow you to change things (even if they did, I imagine they would ask you to foot the entire bill of pulling the tiles down and replacing all water proofing in addition to new tiles), I can make a few suggestions for improvement. Firstly I would suggest replacing the tiles above the vanity with a white mosaic, a patterned or a textured feature tile/strip. You could also use this same tile to replace the vertical feature in the shower. There are some beautiful shapes and sizes available to choose from. Secondly I would address the grout situation in this way: Floor - dark colour grout & Walls - Light colour grout. Lastly if it does not prove too difficult or expensive, maybe replace the tiles below the vanity with a plain white tile (could be similar size). Good luck and I am sure once you have a lovely mirror up and some crisp white towels, it will look just wonderful....See More
