Whether you are choosing new tile, or considering updating your grout, this question might have entered your mind.
Should grout color be darker than tile? Should it be lighter? What are the rules for choosing the perfect grout color? As with many other rules of interior design and aesthetics, your grout’s color is totally up to you. Just know that choosing the color of your grout can be as important as choosing your tile.
Grout color can be darker or lighter than tile.
It can also be the same color or very close in color for a monochromatic aesthetic, which has been very popular over the last few years. If you have a bolder taste in color and contrast, you might choose a very dark tile and light grout – or vice versa. Logically speaking, the bolder your choice in contrast, the more likely you will grow tired of the overall look.
Additionally, you might find that bold choices today often turn into unappealing designs with only the passing of a few years. Safer choices in grout and tile colors will stand the test of time. They can also make your home more appealing to buyers if you intend to sell your home. This is absolutely not to say that you should not choose high-contrast grout and tile colors.
Grout color is not as permanent as you might imagine.
Does it make sense to choose wisely? Of course! But choosing a color that you grow tired of is not a problem with The Grout Medic’s customizable services that can change the color of your grout.
Option 1: We can change your grout with grout colorant.
Your first choice to update the color of your grout is the simplest one offered by The Grout Medic. That is grout color sealing with a specially formulated grout colorant. Grout color sealing is not to be mistaken for painting grout, though this service is often referred to as such. We can apply darker, lighter, or a similar grout colorant to your grout for a little change or a lot. And while this service will rectify what you now deem a poor choice in grout color, it is a semi-permanent change that will have to be done again every one or two years.
Option 2: We can change your grout color by literally changing your grout.
Our tile regrouting service is a more permanent way to change the color of your grout than applying grout colorant. This service is perfect for anyone, who wishes to be rid of their existing grout. Regrouting is also the answer for rectifying cracked or crumbling grout. So, in that case, you are not only improving the color of your grout but also your grout’s structure. This is very important, especially for high-traffic floors and wet tile environments.
