interior design bathroom shower tile decorating ideas

some of you may think the biggestdecision in designing your bathroom is choosing the tiles but i'm here to tellyou that your grout color is just as important if not more important. here'swhat i mean... tile grout plays a big role in the finallook and feel of your tile and it's all about color. in this image you see thesame white hex tile with four different grout colors.the result is four completely different looks when the grout color matches thetile. the tile shape and pattern is less noticeable. the more contrast the morethe shape of the tile stands out. the best way to highlight this idea is bylooking at white tile. for instance you might

think that a herringbone tile would bevery graphic with its sharp angles and interlocking pattern. let's take a look...here we see a beautiful herringbone tile. can you see it? look close... the groutcolor in this case is white and matches the tile so the shape of herringbone isless visible. the overall look of this wall is now more texture thanherringbone. on the other hand using a black grout with this tile pattern willmake the shapes of the tile and the way they interlock with one another muchmore visible. this application is much more graphic and geometric. if you lovethe geometric shapes of herringbone, a darker grout might be for you. we canlook at subway tile and see similar

results here. the white grout blends inwith the tile and gives it a more uniformed look. it's clean and bright.here with black grout the rectangular shape of the tile really stands out. it'srepetitive and graphic. see how the grout color changes the lookand feel of the bathroom? one is fresh and bright and the other is detailed andgraphic. you can even use different grout colors in one bathroom to create specialeffects like this black grout with black hex tile inside the niche which makesthat surface look like a solid black background. and then there's a blackgrout with white tile surrounding the niche which enhances the shape of theniche. you can play with grout colors to

enhance or create varying shapes andeffects. so here's your take away... tile selection is only thefirst step. grout color will enhance or minimize your selection and contributeto the overall look and feel of the space. thanks for watching this littledesign tip, we'll have lots more design tips just like this one coming soon sodon't forget to subscribe! we've got new videos every week! anddon't forget, if you like this video please give it a thumbs up. see you soon!
