white tile, black grout
We’re far, far away from the tile-picking stage of our kitchen and bathroom projects. But I’ve been surprised lately at how much I love a backsplash/floor/wall with white tile and black or dark gray grout, so these are definitely going in the inspiration folder!

March 4, 2011 at 10:46 amBe warned! If you do dark grout on white tile make sure your tile is protected so it doesn’t stain. I learned this the hard way by using black grout on unglazed white tiles in my bathroom. I know pass it off as character but it still hurts my heart a little bit.

I had to just over to safari to be able to write this comment! Hope this helps. Brigitta
