Grouting advice
Hello folks. We are refurbing our bathroom and we are at the stage of making a final decision on grout! We are going to a mid century type of look and have some geometric tiles on one wall, large scale tiles on another wall and wood effect tiles on the floor (which also go up the vanity wall). It’s whether to match the grout to the tiles or use the same grout on both. Also, what do people generally do with wood look tiles? Do we do brown or would a dark grey look good?

Comments (27)Thanks @whirligig, we used some pre-mixed grout and went over it all with a float, cleaning up the excess afterwards. Then once it had all dried, went round and scraped off any flecks etc. and polished it up. Good tip with the cling film @maplecottage! We haven't made anything too messy yet, so we'll see how we go. Might get some sealer spray as it looks fairly easy to apply....See Moregrout colour advice
Comments (15)Thank you both it’s good to get reassurance when I know I am a nightmare with symmetry, etc. The mortar is a pale colour...I’ve since discovered that the picture I posted of the dark grey was just after it had been applied so was still dark/wet. Thanks again & have a great evening :)...See MoreWhite or Grey Grout with Metro Tiles?
Comments (32)Our advice in a small space/ bathroom would be to go with white as it creates an homogenous surface. Use anti mould grouts to assist the cleaning and maintenance. A light grey grout if grey at all, will make a white tiles wall seem very busy and smaller Black grout is very stark and unforgiving so I would not suggest one ventures into the darker range of greys, even in larger spaces....See MoreWhite grout or Dove Gray grout ?

Comments (1)I’d say white for the walls but definitely grey for the floor. Contrast can be achieved with towels and green leafy plants....See MoreAlison Oliver

4 years agoYea, the ones I’m looking at are porcelain too, from mandarin stone - similar price to yours.
I also love the green but they don’t do it (and my other half is less keen!)

Planning this kind of pattern I think :-)

4 years agoThere will be a double vanity on the wooden wall with a large mirror above that takes up most of the space with 2 pendant lights. To the right will be the radiator and the toilet to the left....

4 years agoThanks Patrina. I thought I’d update on what we did with the grout in the end and show you the (nearly) finished product. We did dark (anthracite) grout on the black tiles and the wood tiles and mid grey grout which matched the grey tiles. I’m really pleased with the result and I think my husband has done a fantastic job of the tiling- it’s been a real labour of love.

4 years agoThanks everyone. I am excited to show it off. Just the rest of the house to go.... by the way, here are a couple of ‘before’ shots- we’ve been working on the bathroom since April and have had a shower set up outside. It’s getting colder here now so glad to get inside again!
