Whether you’re considering domestic or commercial bathroom design, it always pays to focus on the smaller details. It’s the finishing touches that make renovation projects really come to life, after all.
However, it’s also worth noting that prioritising the finer points of the refurbishment work can also make property maintenance significantly easier – particularly in hardwearing spaces like the bathroom and the kitchen.
When it comes to grout, this is an easy feature to overlook. After all, it’s so small and so seemingly insignificant. Could colour choice really make that much of a difference?
Well, we’re here to tell you that yes, yes it can!
Here’s why you might want to consider grey grout over white when redoing the bathroom or kitchen this year.
While white grout will show dirt, stains and grime very quickly, opting for a darker or mid-tone grey will mask discolouration, so you won’t feel the need to scrub down the walls and floors as often. Simply continue with your normal cleaning schedule for ease of maintenance.
The best places for grey grout are high-traffic sites such as the bathroom floor, the hallway and your kitchen splashback where you don’t need to scrub as frequently to keep everything looking good.
You’ll also find that grey grout ages more uniformly, so you can avoid unsightly patches developing over time.
As well as being a very practical option, the use of grey grout can be used to make tiling patterns look even more beautiful. If you opt for a stylish design, such as herringbone, you can use the grout to make the tiles pop.
There are different tones of grey you can find so it’s easy to customise the look to suit what you have in mind. A lighter shade will work well with white tiles, while mid-tones would give you a good sense of balance while making maintenance easy.
Alternatively, consider something even darker if you want an industrial contemporary style.
