Grey is a versatile color that makes bathrooms look both spacious and cozy. You can use light grays to create a bright bathroom with white accents or darker shades to create a cozier feel with warm wood elements. When choosing a color for your bathroom walls, consider using wallpaper for accents. This paint color can also be used as a background for other colors and patterns, such as bright reds, pinks, or blues.
This neutral color looks great when paired with a variety of accessories. A gray washstand will complement a light grey bathroom wall and be accented with a rectangular mirror. Multicolored hexagon floor tiles add a mosaic look and pair nicely with the gray washstand. A black mirror sconce and black wall mounted faucet will complete the modern look. The gray backsplash tiles add a splash of color and texture to a gray bathroom.
Adding wall paneling in a gray bathroom can create a dramatic effect without overpowering the room. Vertical shiplap is another great option to punctuate a space without overpowering it. Casey of The DIY Playbook pairs her gray accent with brass hooks and coordinating towels. Although gray is considered a traditional color, it can be used in more eclectic spaces, as in a double vanity cabinet with globe-style vanity lights and a vintage rug.
One design firm, AM Dolce Vita, created a relaxing, gray-and-white bathroom. The wall is Valspar Paints’ Polar Star color, which is a cool white, but is still on the gray side. A mid-toned wood stool by Eames adds warmth to the room. In addition to gray and white tile, this bathroom features a red rug with white trim. The bathroom is a relaxing oasis for any person.
