White hex floor/subway shower grout color?
Comments (10)Thank you everyone! In that room I am going to do a light gray grout through out. I think it will hightlight the tiles. The vanity is white and I think gray grout will give the room some depth. Tinker, if you are up to it, you should show off your bathrooms, they are gorgeous! I do have a question. In the master I am doing a white marble floor w gray grout. But am thinking white grout for the shower subways as well as shower floor. It is a fancier space and I want the shower to take a backseat to the marble and other fixtures. Does that make sense?...See MoreWhich grout color for white subway tile in shower?
Comments (38)All of the tile I used for my bathrooms and kitchen came from RAI Design in Garden City, NY. Specifically I used their light blue penny round tile in the shared bathroom and for my backsplash in the kitchen I used their tile called “Soho”. The “Soho” tile dimensions are labeled as 2x10 but the actual measurements of the tile are about 2.25x9.75. Not too big or too small and the white color is not too bright so as to compete with my white cabinets. I looked at SO MANY white tiles and this one was the best dimensions and color, and rather inexpensive, too. I highly recommend RAI if you are not too far from NY....See MoreShower floor tile - match charcoal slate floors or white subway walls?
Comments (14)Thank you everyone for your comments! We did a couple sample layouts tonight based on your advice, and we’re going to do the charcoal in the shower floor. If I can’t find a good quartz/etc remnant for the curb, we’ll do the large hex cut in half - with the darker gray grout we’re considering for the floor, I think it will look better than the white grout example I posted. I just can’t believe they are finally starting to do real work in the master bath - so much is changing in the house as a whole, but this is our biggest single room project with all new materials and design elements. Exciting and terrifying all at once!...See MoreGrout color for a matte white subway shower with black pattern floor?
Comments (3)I'd do a white grout, to match the wall tile. You already have a lot of pattern going on with the hex and the ceramic tile. Do you feel you want the subways to pop dramatically like they will with black grout? I don't think I'd do grey, afraid it would look off in contrast with the black....See Moremarmoreus
