Subway Tile Ideas: Grout

After choosing the Subway Tile color, the grout will be the next choice. A grout that is near the tile color creates a monochromatic palette. This look can create a neutral, subtle backdrop as seen in this kitchen backsplash.

Yet, grout can also be used to change the look of the tile — making it feel quirky, casual, or industrial. Contrasted grout creates a completely different look than matched grout.

doing 3 x 10 subway tile shower. I want to do probably 1/4 offset, horizontal. However I want to have 1/2 and 1/4 tile size pieces of a complementary color. Also the placement of the complementary color is more random/scattered than having a specific pattern. where can I see examples of this so I can show the person doing tiling what I want.

I don't have an example of that, unfortunately. This image may be helpful, it does have the 1/2 tile size mixed with full size tiles - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bd/1a/34/bd1a3472b79f2d0c85b70c8f7f0d2e21.jpg

It doesn't seem to list the source tile for that Fixer Upper project anywhere, but here are a few similar options: 1. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Elida-Ceramica-Skylight-Subway-Glass-Wall-Tile-Common-3-in-x-8-in-Actual-3-8-in-x-7-75-in/1000238401 2. http://amzn.to/2xjvy8S (affiliate) 3. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Jeffrey-Court-Caribbean-Water-Gloss-3-in-x-6-in-x-8-mm-Glass-Wall-Tile-99514/202663560 4. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Jeffrey-Court-Skylite-3-in-x-6-in-Ceramic-Field-Wall-Tile-12-5-sq-ft-case-96317/300047986 5. https://www.lowes.com/pd/American-Olean-Color-Appeal-Powder-Glass-Wall-Tile-Common-3-in-x-6-in-Actual-2-87-in-x-5-87-in/50435146

Pink tiles are strange but also interesting at the same time. In my opinion, subway tiles era begins to fade

I think there is a movement toward more decorative tiles right now, but I'd imagine the white subway tile will stick around -- even if only in smaller doses.
