Long gone are the days when tile grout was purely functional. Increasingly, designers are using color to transform the gap-filling plaster into a feature in its own right.
'Using grout as a design element has grown in popularity over the past several years, and with good reason,' says DeeDee Gundberg, chief designer at tile brand Ann Sacks. 'Grout has the ability to fully integrate into your design when picking tonal colors, or it can help make a statement when using contrasting colors.'
