Tile can make or break your kitchen or bath renovation—and your budget. If you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive way to add some sparkle to your space, look no further than this new trend.

Want to get the look? Glitter Grout is a UK-based company that offers glitter additive (100 grams of silver or gold for $8), premixed (1 liter in five colors with silver glitter for $23), or in two-kilo bags (ten colors for $34).

Unfortunately, international shipping is $24, so for Stateside glitter lovers, Stainmaster makes a glitter mix-in in gold, silver and galaxy, starting at $14.
