Timber look tiles are produced to resemble the look of natural timber without the same level of maintenance involved, making them an excellent choice when you're looking for low maintenance and stress-free flooring solutions. After installing timber look tiles, you'll need to make a decision about grout because it is a vital part of the overall design. Not only does grout fill tile voids, but it also makes the floor stronger through tile bonding. Follow these tactics for choosing grout colour after installing timber look tiles.
Choose A Blending Colour For Homogenous Allure
If you're looking for less pronounced grout lines for your timber look tiles, choose grout colours that are similar to your tiles for a blending finish. For instance, if you have chosen mahogany-styled timber look tiles, then you can choose slightly darker grout shades to blend in with the floor. If you have chosen light timber look tiles, then lighter brown tile colours will offer the blending finish you desire. If you're looking for a homogenous finish to your home, then blending grout colour is most ideal.
Establish A Contrasting Colour For Dramatic Charisma
By contrasting the tile and grout colours, you draw attention to the pattern and layout of your timber look tiles. If you are looking to make your tiles stand out, you'll want to choose contrasting grout colours. When paired with a darker timber tiles, light grout creates a gorgeous contrasting effect and vice versa. For instance, light beige grout against mahogany-finished timber tiles will help to highlight the wood grain brought forth by the lighter grout. Lighter timber tiles also have visible grains, so darker grout colours will help emphasise them better.
Go With A Neutral Shade For Classic Appeal
Even if you have chosen timber look tiles, opting for neutral coloured grout like grey, beige or black is popular for many homeowners, especially if they don't want the trouble of choosing between blending and contrasting colours. If you want something with mass appeal, a neutral colour may be the most recommended approach for your timber look tiles. A soft neutral tone will create a unified look while letting the tile remain the focal point. Neutral colours are less prone to discolouration and fading, so they are relatively low maintenance solutions for the long term in your home.
Choosing the right grout colour for your timber look tiles isn't as easy as it sounds. The choice you make will have a significant visual impact on the appearance of your tiles, so consider these tactics.
