White Subway Tile- Check! Now, What Grout Color?

June 29, 2011 by Amber Filed Under: subway tile grout color 11 Comments

In the spring, I am excited that we will be sprucing up our master bathroom a bit! We are going to replace the counter, retile the shower, repaint the walls, and maybe replace the flooring. Good stuff- I cannot wait! We are definitely going with white subway tile in the shower, but the dilemma is the grout color! Do we go with a classic white, or switch it up and go with a dark gray/black grout? I love both looks! I recently saw on Million Dollar Decorators that one of the designers chose a dark grout for the shower he was renovating and said, the dark grout gives it a more masculine feel. That’s fine with me, because I can always compliment that with some crystal accessories and shiny chrome, to glam it up for me! It could be a nice balance for us. Then again, I am drawn to the white grout, because of it’s classic look. You can never go wrong with that timeless look. What’s a girl to do? (My husband doesn’t mind and left this detail up to me!) Now to ponder a bit more, we also plan to use the same white subway tile in our kitchen (down the road). Back to the same question again- white or dark gray/black grout? Here are some gorgeous kitchens and bathrooms that use either white or gray/black grout:

Umbrella update… after two years, this @target f Umbrella update… after two years, this @target find still looks brand new! It has been through wind, rain and lots of sunshine and still has that beautiful navy blue color. I wasn’t able to find the exact one, but my Like to Know It page has two very similar options! And if you need me, I’ll be here all weekend! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #poolside

Show houses are so fun to visit to gain inspiratio Show houses are so fun to visit to gain inspiration. I could probably write a whole blog post on the fun, new ideas I have for our home over the next few years. But I also think it’s meaningful to find joy with the changes you have already made in your spaces and to reflect on how far it’s come. When I walk into our family room, I feel at home. It makes me smile and it’s one of those spaces where I don’t want to change a thing. I think it’s worthwhile to celebrate being content and feeling joy in your home just as it is! Celebrate that corner of your room that took a while to get just right. Finding joy and contentment along the way and during the process makes the end result that much sweeter! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #howyouhome #loveyourhabitat
