My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Does grout in shower have to match floor grout?

11 years ago

We're tiling our bathroom shower and bathroom floor. The shower is going to be a white subway tile. The floor is going to be a 4x8 herringbone marble. I was planning on doing delorean gray grout in the shower area and Plantinum grout on the floor.

Should I do the grouts the same color, or doesn't it matter? The shower will have clear class doors, so you'll see in.


Please help!!! haha

    Because your flooring and shower tile are different, the grout should be in the color that looks best with each individually.
