- Totally get the grout struggle—been there, regretted that.
- I went with bigger tiles in my last reno too, mostly because I’m not about that scrubbing life (and I’m cheap, so less grout = less cleaning supplies).
- Dark grout is a lifesaver, but I still feel like it shows soap scum more? Maybe that’s just me being picky.
- Honestly, I almost went with those tiny hex tiles because they looked cute on Pinterest... glad my wallet talked me out of it.
- If you’re on a budget, medium tiles seem like the sweet spot—less labor, less cleaning, and still looks modern.
- I hear you on the dark grout—mine definitely shows more soap scum than I expected, especially in the shower.
- Medium tiles worked out for me too, but honestly, I still think small tiles look better in tight spaces... just not worth the cleaning headache.
- If you’re pinching pennies, I’d say skip anything with a ton of grout lines. My last place had those tiny mosaics and I regretted it every time I had to scrub.
