20 Gorgeous Gray Bathroom Ideas and Trends to See

There’s something comfortable and charming about a grey color palette that I am completely drawn to. The relaxed and modern feel gives everything a clean and no fuss atmosphere.

The color itself is having a big moment this year, so much so that it is now taking a front row seat in bathroom décor. Below are grey bathroom trends that are a must see for modern inspiration.

Go All In with Marble

There’s something special about blending these two that feels so traditional. You could even go for marble with grey veining for a modern twist that feels less stark than classic black and white.

Marble is such a classic element in any bathroom, so it’s a natural fit for the grey bathroom trend.

You could have a stunning marble wall or countertop and then bring in different grey tones that blend beautifully together.

Embrace the Dark Side

The grand effect comes from just how rich that single dark color can be. Try incorporating darker wood tones and even touches of black to really enhance those deep grey hues.

If you’re aiming for a more masculine vibe in your bathroom, using a dark shade of grey is an excellent way to get there.

I love pairing dark greys with bits of black, some metallic accents, and a few neutrals for that perfect masculine feel that still looks minimalist and chic.

Add a Grey Tub

Whether you’re working with a pastel color scheme or a more masculine design, adding a grey standalone tub is always a fantastic way to bring in a chic piece that makes a statement all on its own, without needing extra decor that doesn’t quite fit.

I think there is nothing quite as relaxing as a big, classic standalone tub. It totally makes a statement while keeping that simple feel.

You could also go for a pale grey tub and pair it with other light grey hues throughout the room.

Try a Feminine Touch

For a more feminine style, try using a “dove grey.” This particular shade is really exceptional because of its undertones of pink, peach, and white.

Together, these undertones create such a beautiful, feminine color. Just add a few bits of white and other neutrals to bring out that traditional feminine look.

Create a Wallpaper Contrast

gray wallpaper in bathroom — No matter which wallpaper you choose, using different shades of grey will bring a modern and dynamic feel to the bathroom that is both appealing and classic. A great tip is to use lighter shades on the top part of your walls and darker shades on the bottom to make the space feel bigger.

We are huge fans of using wallpaper in any room because it’s so beautiful and adds amazing texture.

You could use a grey wallpaper that’s textured, patterned, or even both, and then keep the rest of your decor simple. Letting the other decor stay simple will really make that wallpaper the main focus.

Mix Pale Grey with Wood

pastel grey and wood — The lightness of pale grey is perfect for bringing a little brightness to any wooden elements you decide to use in your bathroom. Think about using just one shade of grey throughout the whole bathroom for a nicely blended look that still lets the wood make a statement, even though it’s a neutral color.

What a fantastic way to bring grey hues into your design, especially when paired with wood. This combination creates a classic farmhouse feel that is so charming and chic, and you can feel it throughout the whole space.

One of the biggest trends is pairing neutrals and adding bits of texture for an elevated style.

Install Statement Lights

The great thing about having more than one chandelier or another intricate light fixture is that you can create a really nice symmetrical display. You could also add some smaller light fixtures to bring even more brightness into the space.

Nothing says elegance quite like having a bunch of different grey shades in one room with a bold chandelier.

A daring chandelier will not only add an edgy touch, but it also brings in an extra dose of light, which is always a good thing in a bathroom.

Add Concrete Walls

Concrete walls have become such a trendy element in lots of different areas of the home, and I think they look especially great when paired with grey walls and flooring.

The goal is to create a seamless effect between the grey tones and the concrete. To add a three-dimensional feel, bring in a pop of color like red or even pink.

Use Floor-to-Ceiling Tiles

tiles from top to bottom — You don’t have to use the same tiles for your walls and floors. You can actually use different tiles to create a unique look that’s also really pleasing to the eye, while still being a strong focal point in the room.

I would pick a lighter shade of grey and do floor-to-ceiling tiling for a more appealing look. You can go grey all over with your tiles to get a seamless blend.

You will want to use a shade of grey that feels right and timeless with any other decor pieces you decide to add.
