tiling options!

2 years ago

Hello! A silly question but I’d love done opinions on whether we should use black or light grey grouting for our tiles? I was thinking grey but had a tiler come around recently who insisted black would be better! Is it just down to personal preference or would one look better than the other?

Thanks in advance

To be honest I wouldn't choose either and I'd go with a white colour. I think that having a dark colour grout makes some tiling look like it's in a public convenience.

I think this is a matter of personal preference - look at black vs grey grouting in pictures and go with the one you like best.

Hello Orlac2, yes you could turn the bath round and have a smaller one.. Like a tubby.. You could also take out the bath and install a shower, have a wet room style with full tiling and back to wall sink and loo.. Could be a rather luxurious shower room.. but if the bath is required then why not look at getting a Tubby Torre by Albion. They have a whole range but this is a favourite.. It can be painted any colour you like.. I like the copper colour.. You get a really fantastic soak and it's a beautiful little tub! As well as a shower. : ))

Have you considered luxury vinyl planks? Waterproof, damp mop, easy to replace, and softer on your feet. I have tile in half of my house and wish I could replace it. It's hard on your feet, especially when you're standing for long periods of time in the kitchen. If it cracks, it's a pain to replace. You have to keep plenty of extra on hand for replacement because cracks are inevitable, either from something dropping on them or from settling. The flooring person I spoke with told me they're selling vinyl in even high end installations. He said they just installed 2300 square feet in a million dollar penthouse condo. Hope this helps!

The tile is very pretty. I don't know if it is just the colours showing up differently on screen but the light grey appears to be a different tone (more purple to me) than your tile. If you want a light grey I would take the tile to the store and try for a better match. The dark color ties in nicely to the tile and could be very dramatic and stunning if the room gets a lot of light.

Looking for flooring suggestions to compliment my kitchen tile

We had a very nice porcelain tile laid in our kitchen. It looks like a distressed grey wood plank. We would like some suggestions as to what flooring we should use throughout the rest of the house. Carpet is not an option and the installer said that because of the way the current floor is installed, tile is really not an option either. The walls are light grey with purple accents. What do you feel would be the best look?

Absolutely go for the one that you prefer - you’re the one who has to live with it!!!! I like black grout in some settings, but for my kitchen the contrast was too harsh. I went with a light silver grey because it suited my room and style better and it made me happy. Do what makes you smile!

White grouting!

The palest of pale off whites, not pure white. I obsessed about grout colours, I think I gave my tiler a breakdown. I would narrow it down to a couple and actually buy a bag of each and test them with the tiles.

To be honest, a lot of the long, thin tiles that are popular at the moment just make me think of old bus station toilets from the 80s 😂. It’s a shame because some of them are actually very attractive.
