You probably don’t think about your grout too often, unless you’re doing a deep clean of your bathroom or kitchen. The glue that holds your tiles in place does lend your space some aesthetic benefits, but mostly it’s functional—though it doesn’t have to be.

In fact, opting for colorful grout won’t just make your life easier (after all, pink, blue, and green all have less of a chance of yellowing than a typical white option), but it will also make your tiles look totally reinvigorated.

Consider this the tiny, often-overlooked detail that has the power to completely transform your home. Your kitchen and bathroom deserve to be a bit more colorful, no?

Instead of sticking with simple white-on-white subway tiles or even considering pairing a more dramatic patterned tile with the most low-key option, go vibrant.

These 51 colorful grout ideas provide all the inspiration you could possibly need. Let’s just say this look is more versatile than you’d think.
