We used black grout but I think I’d have the same problem with white grout - when I look at the floor with the lights on I can only see the square grout lines. If the lights are off and the room is darker then I can see the design.

I love the tile, but not the matte finish. In the attached photo I used 2 coats of tile lab gloss sealer to achieve the desired finish. It also helped enhance and saturate the colors.

What isn't evident from the picture is that there is intentional "fading" on parts of the tile. While I understand that this was done to convey a feeling of age, as a designer and homeowner it makes it hard to predict and I find myself attempting to scrub it off before remembering it is integrated into the tile.

chips easily so have a pro or an avid tile installer handle. Elevates a bathroom well above ordinary.

I like this stuff a lot aesthetically. I am just installing it for the first time so tbd on how it holds up. It does have some 'aging' built into the tile it isn't made to appear silky and new.
