How To Use Grout Color to Accent the Design in Your NYC Apartment

Grout color is the hidden feature that actually brings about the finishing touch of every  kitchen or bathroom remodeling project. It’s a design element that requires careful consideration based on what aesthetic you are aiming for with your space. Because this design step tends to be overlooked in the planning stages, many people wonder how to choose a grout color. Below are three common approaches to take when styling your tile and grout combination:

Grout Color to Make Your Tile Blend In

The best way to highlight your new bathroom or kitchen features is to use the same color grout as your tile. Whether it is white tile and white grout or black tile and black grout, using the same grout colors will give the illusion of a seamless wall or floor – and make plenty of room for your brand new vanity or kitchen island to be the stand out star of the remodel.
