How to choose a grout color?

A few basic rules to consider when choosing:

• When using multi-colored or two-color tiling and mosaics, for grouting, you should select a color close to the lighter tone used in the design or a colorless fugue.
• It is advisable to choose a mixture of a dark or contrasting shade only if the tile material on the floor or on the wall is laid perfectly evenly. In case of errors and irregularities on the surface, a putty in light colors is better.
• To visually expand the room, light tiles are selected in combination with a similar grout, dark tones, on the contrary, visually reduce the space.
• It is better to choose a putty for floor tiles in darker colors, as it is quite practical and less prone to contamination.

Color combination options

Due to well-chosen color combinations, you can get three options for effects:

• One color. It is the simplest tandem that is a single whole. A one-color combination, perfect for lovers of laconic, not too flashy design, and also allows you to mask some of the flaws in the finish in the form of uneven joints or chips.
• Contrasting grout. It endows the atmosphere with special expressiveness and favorably emphasizes the geometry and laying of the tiled elements, giving them a deeper and more intense look.
• Shades. With the help of such a solution, it is possible to unobtrusively highlight the geometric shape, pattern and color of the cladding, thereby forming a calm design, not devoid of expressiveness.
