Grout color may be a small detail in the big picture of your kitchen decor, but it makes a huge difference when it goes wrong ...

Grout adds more of a visual element to your tile floor or wall than you might think. You can create a more intentional, cohesive look by choosing one that accents the color or pattern of your tile.

But a few years ago, I completely transformed my kitchen simply by changing the color of the grout in my tile backsplash. It was pretty simple, cost less than $25, and took about 90 minutes.
