Design Dilemma Kitchens

arteko antique white tile with grout

last year

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone has used arteko antique white tile with maipei avalanche grout (or other white) and could reply with photos. I used this tile in a herringbone pattern for my kitchen backsplash and was planning to use the white grout mentioned. Now that it is laid ungrouted, it looks like it has a medim gray grout and I like it but wondering if I should stick to my original plan because I do love a crisp white pretty much across the board and I use gray very sparingly.

It seems to have a bit of gray in the tile so I would do a really pale gray since I never like white grout it never stays clean and behind a range no way.

Also I see no backguard on that stovetop. Those tiles will be scorched in fairly short order if you use the back burners. What do the instructions say about the distance to surfaces?

I'd also go with a super light gray grout. Pure white grout tends to be very stark. and could somewhat clash with your cabinet color. Nice job on your kitchen!
