Grout Color Gets Glam: Go Bold or Go Home

Grout color isn’t an afterthought—it’s the secret ingredient to next-level tile design. And if you’re ready to take your space from standard to striking, it’s time to rethink everything you thought you knew about tile and grout color combinations. At Marazzi, bold isn’t just encouraged—it’s expected. Let’s talk about how to make grout part of your design statement.

The New Rule: Match If You Want, But Clash If You Dare

Grout used to hide in the background. Now? It’s stealing the spotlight. A light-colored tile becomes high-fashion with red grout. A neutral pattern turns unexpected with cobalt blue threading through every line. Instead of fading into the design, grout is emerging as the edge your space has been craving.

Go Monochrome—But Make It Maximal

Matching your tile and grout isn’t boring when you lean into intensity. Deep green tile paired with hunter green grout creates a lush, luxe canvas that feels custom and curated. The trick? Choose grout colors that enhance—not mute—your tile's personality.

Try Color Blocking with Purpose

A simple tile pattern can turn editorial when paired with a high-contrast grout. Think minimalist white square tile outlined in charcoal, or geometric shapes filled in with electric pink. The grout becomes a graphic element, elevating the entire installation into a visual moment.

Pull a Hue from the Pattern

If your tile has multiple colors, pull one out and echo it in the grout. This detail-forward move brings cohesion and drama. Blue veins in your marble look tile? Try a soft sapphire grout. Terracotta details in your concrete look? Match with clay-colored grout for earthy elegance that still dares to be different.

Where to Be Bold With Grout

Don’t limit these high-style grout choices to kitchens or baths. Use them to elevate:
  • Shower walls into boutique spa vibes
  • Bar backsplashes into art installations
  • Entryways into fashion-forward focal points
Tile and grout color combinations are no longer just functional—they’re fundamental to your aesthetic.

Grout Color Is a Design Choice—So Own It

Marazzi’s tile already dares you to go bold. Now let your grout follow suit. With the right grout color, your tile transforms from background to centerpiece, from functional to fearless.
