Oversized grouting is the tile trend of the season – here is how designers are using it in inventive ways

Tile trends come and go but, for the most part, our preferences for grouting have remained the same. This is largely to do with it being more of a practicality, a as opposed to a conscious feature of our designs. As a result, grouting has actually become more inconspicuous as the years go by, with finer lines accompanying larger, monolithic tiles. Or at least that was the case, until now. 

Chunky, oversized grouting has been a recurring theme in bathrooms and kitchens of late, offering a more graphic, playful look on the walls or floor. From rustic, artisanal terracotta flooring to asymmetrical, geometric patterns on shower walls, this grouting idea is certainly defining the modern bathrooms and kitchens of 2023.
