Flooring Hallways Design Dilemma

What colour grout?!

3 years ago

We have recently chosen our Octagon and Dot hallway tiles and I have no idea what colour grout to go for!?! I want the tiles to 'pop' and will be the feature. The photo you see of the tiles in the hallway (not mine!) is the exact look I'm going for, would you say it's a grey grout? Thank you!

Looks like grey to me and that’s what I’d opt for.

I think a dark grey would be perfect

Your way. But I'd go white grout for everything.

What colour to paint the bricks and mantle piece on fireplace

Hi, this is a tricky one! I tell you the trend for 'grey's is frying my brain cell currently! It's very hard to make greys go with brown's because in a nutshell, they don't. Grey is a cool colour and brown is warm. Therefore, trying to get the mix right is a nightmare. If you're stuck on the midnight silver, which is a pretty colour, i'd probably have to go with painting the fireplace in the same, midnight silver, but darkening down the alcoves with a darker yet warm grey. Go for the same darker grey on the mantle shelf itself. The bricks would also have to be very dark, as painted bricks can look a little weird. When i paint bricwork, i choose not to paint the grouting. Instead i get a big pallette of similar looking colours, matchpots are good for this because you can buy 6 or 7 for a pound each at B&Q, then i stipple the paint onto the bricks so that they aren't one uniform colour, i've painted concrete to look like brick in this manner, it's very effective. If I were you i'd go for grey tones on the wall that look more taupe as they will sit better with your flooring which is a lovely warm tone. By going with the 'is it grey / is it taupe' colour scheme you will not end up with the cool greys competing with the floor.

Hexagonal tile backsplash - which grout
Q

Hi there! We think a white grout is probably your best option here, if you don't want it to look too busy. This is one of our hexagon mosaic tile displays we have in the TileStyle showroom and we have used white grout for this. As you can see, the shape of the tile is still very much visible but it's still a more subtle look that's not too busy. Hope this helps and whatever you decide, we wish you the best of luck with your new kitchen :) If you need any further advice we'd be more than willing to help, just give us a call on +353 1 855 5200 or pop-us an email HERE!

I'd go for a warm light grey picking out the colour in the stone fire surround - have a look at Little Green Paint company's Portland Stone it comes in three depths of colour and looks beautifully restful. Then dress it with natural plants!

Dark grey from me too - especially in a hall because it could get grubby quickly.

mid tone grey grout. Topps tiles have a grout colour selector (small strips that you can lay alongside your tile) - take one of your tiles in with you and you can see which looks best
