Grout is not a supporting player – it is a design element in its own right. On a Cube with 10×10 cm tiles, the grout joints account for up to 15 % of the visible surface. The grout colour therefore determines whether the piece of furniture reads as a single unified whole, or whether each tile stands out as an individual square.
Harmonious grout colours sit close to the tile colour. The result is an almost monolithic effect: the surface appears closed, sculptural, calm. White tiles with white grout, terracotta tiles with sand-coloured grout – both combinations produce this effect. Contrasting grout colours, on the other hand, emphasise the grid, make each tile visible and give the Cube structure and vitality.
Tile size amplifies this effect: with 10×10 cm ceramic tiles, far more grout is visible than with 15×15 cm. A high-contrast grout colour on small tiles looks more graphic and prominent; on larger tiles the same contrast remains subtler. Those who prefer calm should choose a harmonious grout colour with small tiles – those who want structure should choose contrast.

Step 1
Choose your material
Wood tile Cubes offer 6 coordinated grout colours in earth tones and natural shades. Ceramic tile Cubes offer 22 grout colours – from White to Orange, from Anthracite to Lilac. Your material determines the range of options.
Step 2
Tile size & colour
10×10 cm or 15×15 cm – tile size determines how much grout is visible. Then comes tile colour: choosing white gives you more contrast flexibility. Terracotta or mint green require a more targeted colour choice.
Step 3
Receive your recommendation
The Grout Colour Finder provides three concrete recommendations with a harmony score and live preview. The selection can be transferred directly to the configurator – no further searching, no uncertainty.
