People usually forget the grout every time they are looking for the tiles they want to have in their kitchen or bathroom. Grout fills spaces between every tile and it seems to not be so significant for design. However, choosing the right type of grout especially the color can give a great impact to the room’s appearance. The type of tile and the grout will create a big difference in your bathroom or kitchen. You may find several types of grout in any plumbing shop in Australia.
There are three options for choosing the right grout for your tiles. The best way is to decide what you want to with your grout. It could be that you prefer to compliment, match, or to contrast your grout with your tiles. For instance, if you are planning to have a white tile, would you choose white, or charcoal gray grout? Each color type will result in a different impact to the pattern of your tile and the overall design of your room. In case you select a coordinating grout, the result will be a seemingly larger space. On the other hand, contrasting colors will make space feel busier. Well, this not always a bad thing. Remember that the graphic effect of a dark colour will increase when you are making a mosaic that has more grout lines.
There are still many ways to experiment
If you are open to unconventional designs, you might consider an epoxy grout that may glitter or may even glow when it’s dark. You may also consider copper, brass, or stainless steel metal inlays that will accent the pattern in a subtle way.
Decide how much you love cleaning
Your tile and grout choice won’t only affect the space and the appearance but also the times that you need to clean. If you opt to grout in a light color, you need to know that it requires more cleaning. Meanwhile, darker grout can make efflorescence that should be cleaned and removed. Either way, it is recommended sealing the grout to avoid stains.
