When it comes to grout, you don't have to stick with traditional white. Instead, you can get creative with grout colours to enhance the overall look of your design. For example, if you're using blue glass Kit Kat tile for a bathroom backsplash, consider using a light blue grout for a cohesive look. If you're creating a mosaic that has a lot of different colours, you can use a neutral-coloured grout to help the individual tiles stand out.

In addition to grout colour, you can also get creative with the layout of your Kit Kat tiles. While many designs use straight lines and right angles, you can create a more organic and flowing design by using curved lines or arranging the tiles in a wave pattern.

Finally, don't be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to where you can install Kit Kat tiles. In addition to walls and floors, they can be used to create a unique clad kitchen island,  an accent piece on furniture, or even a statement piece on your bedroom wall.
