    Are they a curse to keep clean?
    Will grout always look grubby?

    I'd imagine white grout will cause you problems.

    I went with white subway tiles and grey grout. Very easy to clean.

    Do you have pic of what you are thinking?

    I'll post you pic of mine later

    Thanks for the reply.
    I don't have a specific picture.
    It's just something I saw in a showroom.
    Not sure what colour the grout even was.
    95% of the bathroom was tiled white, with black and silver edging.

    White metro tiles are really nice with grey grout. I dont know anyone in the last few years that has used white grout. It always is dirty, but not hard to clean. A bit of bleach, water and a toothbrush will clean it back to white. But grey grout is no maintenance at all.

    Personally I think any tiles other than black, grey or white in a bathroom look dated

    Your bathroom looks great amdublin, and not unlike the look I'm after.
    Has it been installed long?
    It looks new!

    About a year. It is plain and simple and hopefully will stand the test of time.

    Hi
    I think amdublin has the right idea - white grout does not age well unfortunately.

    We have white tiles on the bathroom floors. I think it looks awful. Will be looking at re-tiling entire bathroom soon and looking at other colours entirely.

    It helps to visit bathroom & tile shops that have fully made bathrooms setup to give you an idea of the possibilities.
