Grout colour for textured white subway tiles?

Abbie Kramrisch

I wanted to use a contrasting colour to by white subway tiles. I like the rustic look of the textured/artisan white subway tiles but they are uneven in their edges so would it make a darker grout look really wonky? anyone have any examples?

My subway tiles are hand made Spanish tiles. I don't know what you mean by textured artisan tile??
I have used white grout. Our home is nearly six years old, and the grout is still white. I always rub a cloth over tiles if I have used the cook top. Keep it clean after cooking, and then it can't get dirty.

Thanks everyone for their comments! Update: husband has 'over-ruled' on this one. Forgot to mention that the vanity top will be Night Sky Ceaserstone (ie black). So he wants the dark grout. We will definitely be using mould inhibitor and ensuring everything is well sealed. It's all his fault if it looks horrible ;) Will post photos once fully complete. (I am now a little scared...)

Thanks Nicole!! We actually went for white grout too in the end, and stacked them (mid century modern house, we thought it fitted better overall). I agreed with you that I wanted the detail of the tile to shine, not the shape of the tile. We still need to paint the rest of the room, etc., but I'm pleased. We had them sealed and used a supposedly more stain resistant grout (Davco Colour Elite). We loved the designs so much we put the 150mm blue jeans version in our pantry!! Thanks again for your reply. Enjoy your new space.

I have just laid grey floor tiles and white ( with a very subtle pattern) and I have used the same light grey grout for both. White grout is a nightmare to keep clean.

Found this photo with a grey grout. It would also look okay. Can not seem to find any examples of the hand made/rough edge tiles with black grout.

Your tiles are gorgeous! i just know though if I use white grout it will get so dirty. I like the grey grout there but do you think it looks unprofessional as makes the lines wiggly?

If your concern is the tiles, then get bevelled edge subway tiles.
Hand made tiles are supposed to have the 'wiggly' edges.

You do realise that it doesn't matter what colour grout you have, it will still get splashes from cooking. You just need to wipe over the splash back after you have finished cooking, when doing the dishes. It's only a two minute job.
The dark colour grout will not repel the dirt.

I would get white grout but get the grout sealed by a professional before use. Then it just needs a wipe over to clean it.
