ᐅ Wood-look tiles – What do you think about these tiles?

Thank you, that’s pretty much the result I have in mind as well, so I will probably choose a brown joint.

I hadn't even considered that the tiler might use the wrong grout color.
I still need to discuss that with him.

Yes, it’s better to do that, since as a non-professional you unfortunately don’t have any knowledge about it yourself.

I will definitely do that. We discussed the joint width but not the color.
Apparently, we overlooked the color for all of our tiles.

If you’re building with a general contractor, the tiler will primarily use the color specified in the scope of work.
If you’re not actively involved or don’t have a proactive/advising tradesperson, it usually defaults to standard gray.
Our tiler was quite talkative, which was actually helpful for the consultation.
The same goes for edge trims and similar details.

Here are a few pictures of our wood-look tiles.

The first picture (sample at the tile center) shows the initial tiles we considered. However, we decided against them after further thought because they seemed too busy for us – see page 3 of this thread for the explanation. The pronounced grain pattern turned out to be distracting.

The other picture shows the tiles we chose for our living room, including the matching grout lines.
