Fine Tuning a room is a simple as choosing the right grout color
Whether you want to increase light, color and texture, or you need to refine depth, the solution is in your grout.
Highlight and brighten a room
There are many grout colors available at American Stone both for genuine stone veneer and manufactured thin stone veneer. Choose a lighter color such as buff for highlights in your stone. Not only are the stone colors more distinct, but they are more complimentary. The texture and ripples in the stone stand out and define style such as class or weather beaten.
Add depth and enhance darker colors
If you are looking to add depth to your surroundings try using black grout. This not only darkens your stone as a whole, but it brings out the shadows in your surrounding areas. Place with a multi colored stone, and the blacks and dark grays stand out.
