The Trendy Shower Tile Design To Consider For A Stunning Bold Look

Shower tile designs can make or break the look of a bathroom. Previous tile fads have revolved more around the sizes, shapes, and colors of tiles, but the latest trend has a major effect on the look of a surface without replacing the tiles at all. Instead, this trend focuses on the grout. Skip the usual grays and whites, and update your bathroom with a colorful, contrasting grout. Although the lines are small, adding a pop of color can really pull a bathroom together and give it an expensive look. Anything goes for this bold update, and the best part is that regrouting can give you a fresh look on a small budget.

When selecting a shade for this look, you want to choose the right grout color for your tile. You can choose a bright red, blue, green, gold, or any color that creates a dramatic contrast. Of course, if you like the look of a colorful tile but want to vary a bit from the trend, you can opt for a softer color or one that does not stand out from your tile as much. You can add this pop of color to any tile shape or size, making it an extremely versatile trend. 

You have a couple of options when it comes to changing the color of your grout. You can regrout entirely, or you can dye your existing grout. Regrouting is a good idea because it prevents mold growth and water damage, and it protects your tiles. If there are any cracks or other damage to your grout, regrouting is probably the best choice for you. You can hire a professional or take the time to remove, replace, and seal the lines yourself. Either way, you should be using mold-resistant grout. 

If your existing grout is in good condition but it's a light color, you can simply dye it. The dye may also work on darker grout, but it could lose some vibrancy. While the process can be time-consuming and laborious, you can get great results. You will need grout dye, such as Marblers Liquid Colorant, along with some small brushes, cleaning supplies, and lots of elbow grease. To prep the surface, choose one of the multiple ways to thoroughly clean your tile grout, then simply follow the instructions on the colorant label. This can involve dotting the dye onto the grout lines and vigorously scrubbing it so the dye penetrates the grout before wiping away any excess dye. Be sure to carefully follow the directions on the product you buy, and make sure that it is suitable for whatever tile you use it on.
