Regular readers of Tile Addict will have noted my comments on the growing use of coloured grout as an integral part of new tile displays at Coverings and other recent international trade shows.

Interestingly, however, interior design was much more interested in looking back. The colours selected by Little Greene and Sherwin Williams , such as soft pastels (including the shades from 2016), have a calming effect and give interiors a welcoming feeling.
