How to choose a beige tile grout?

The beige color is versatile, and a kitchen or bathroom decorated with tiles of this shade is not only delicate and beautiful, but also practical. In order not to overdo it with the color scheme, the grout must be selected, taking into account some factors, such as: the color and style of furniture, interior items and household items. According to the composition, the grout is chosen, taking into account the conditions in which the tile will be located.

Classification of grout mixtures by composition:

• Cement based. These formulations are easy to work with and rich in colors. They are currently the most popular. Cement trowels can be sold as ready-to-use grouting materials or as powders that are pre-diluted with water. This grout is suitable for dry rooms where fungus does not form.
• Based on epoxy resin. These are more durable mixtures that will withstand any negative impact. Rubbing surfaces with them is a little more difficult than with cement ones. This may require additional skill. Epoxy grout is recommended for areas with high humidity.

The integrity of the perception of the interior of the room directly depends on the correctly selected grout color. Using the grout mixture, you can create certain visual effects. To do this, you must select the appropriate shade of grout.

The simplest option is the selection of a beige grout to match the tile. In this case, the entire surface of the finished wall merges into one beige spot. Of course, such a combination may seem rather boring and lagging behind modern fashion trends in design. If you're worried about missing a tint with a grout, use it. In this case, the interior will have to be played as if you were using a monotonous beige panel.

Choosing a grout mixture of a color slightly darker than the tile itself, you can choose a dark beige or light brown shade. This combination will noticeably refresh the room, fill it with coziness and tranquility.

For beige tiles, experts recommend choosing a grout a few shades darker. This combination will emphasize the nobility of the finish, and the wall panel will look very original. The peculiarities of human perception of a combination of light and dark tones will visually push the beige tile forward, but move the seams back. Thus, the masonry will look more voluminous.

The most popular in tandem with beige tiles are chocolate or brown grout. In this case, the visual perception of lines and seams becomes clearer. The correct shape creates a sense of coziness and order in the room.

If you find it difficult to decide on the choice of shade, pay attention to the white grout. This is a versatile option that goes well with tiles in a variety of colors and shades. As a rule, the combination of beige tiles and white grout is most often used for walls, since this combination is too easily soiled for the floor. It is worth noting that walls with white seams should always be perfectly clean.

If the beige tile is not entirely monochromatic (there is a pattern on it) or part of it is supplemented with decor, then you can wipe the space between the individual elements in the color of the decor. Moreover, such a combination will be the most harmonious, since the intrusion of third scales and shades can create the impression of a lack of style. If there is a desire to create an eclectic interior of a room, it is better to seek the help of professionals in order to avoid the lurid effect.

Using both light and dark grout at the same time will allow you to create separate segments, as well as highlight the necessary zones of various shapes and sizes.

To add mystery to the interior, you can use grout with small luminous particles. This mixture is new to the construction market, so its use is a bit unusual. With this material, in the dark, tile seams glow blue and purple. It looks very original and festive.

If you cannot choose the color of the grout from all the options proposed by the manufacturer, it is possible to create a suitable shade for the beige tiles yourself.

For this purpose, they usually use:

• tinting paste;
• powder color, soluble in water;
• gouache paints;
• watercolor.

With the help of these compositions, you can tint a white grout or adjust the shade, for example, make it more saturated. When adding pigment, remember that the mixture will become lighter as it dries.
