PLEASE HELP!! What grout color?

11 years ago

Hello! We are in the process of installing our Kaden Walnut Porcelain tile in our new home and would like some advice on the grout color? We would like it to match the tile as much as possible. Thanks in advance.

These photos are of lowe's website.

Hi there! Its always a good idea to go darker rather than lighter when your tiles have variation in colour. It is also much easier to clean and your overall floor will look smarter. So I'd suggest a dark grey.

Which one is your tile--the brown or the gray?

I would go with the lighter color in the tile so the floor blends together.

Thank you for the advice we ended up going with a dark brown almost black grout, and it turned out great!

Love it! Talking about the wow factor! You got this tile from Lowes?

Beautiful tile. I'd say darker grout than a lighter one.

Curious if you remember the name of the grout you used. Their display shows Bahama Beige as recommended grout and that is special order. I am leaning toward Sahara Beige.

Those of you that have installed this tile from Lowes - any chance you can post more pictures for me? And how is it to clean/maintenance? I hate how it looks in the picture from lowes but I love the the 4 sample pieces i bought when i lay them out. Thanks in advance!!

Hey irchik I love your floors.. Just bought 300sqft of walnut tile from lowes today off first site and Google imaged it and found this blog so I cant help but ask, what size spacing did you use in between tiles?

I swore I would never put a tile floor in any house of mine again....I hate grout!! That was until I fell in love with the porcelain tile that looks like wood!!!! We put it in our basement, but with absolute requirements: with only the darkest brown grout (almost black) and ONLY IF THE TILE HAD 1/16" grout lines as opposed to the more common 1/8th". Cost is a bit more, but I LOVE IT!! Friends are always commenting on how great it looks!

I agree I would make the grout, but not too much darker in this case just the dark color that is already in the tile. This way it will disappear and you will notice the tile itself.

Hi what color did you put on the walls with these tiles? I see a peak in the picture and I really like it.

Are you asking about a photo on Jackson Interiors site? I did not select the grout for the living room photo above here.

Hi. Just had this tile installed in my kitchen. A few corners are a little raised and not flat. My tile installer is telling me it's the tile??! Has anyone had this issue? Thank you

I have not had that problem. Did you look at the tile before the installation and notice any unevenness? Sometimes, the subsurface is the problem.
