Grey bathroom: how to decorate

Grey is the ultimate neutral — a calm base that lets furniture and art take the stage. The right shade is everything: warm grey (greige) feels cosy, cool grey strict.

How grey works in the bathroom

In the bathroom, grey tile gives a crisp, spa-like look — warm it up with wood, a plant and soft towels.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: that tile and porcelain are fixed, so colour comes via textiles and detail. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.

Colours that pair well with grey

Grey is generous with almost anything: yellow and mustard for warmth, navy for contrast, wood and greenery to avoid sterility.

Materials and details

Wool, bouclé and linen make grey soft; wood and brass warm it up. Concrete and chrome alone can turn cold.

The most common mistake

Too many cool grey tones — the room goes flat and dreary. Lean toward greige and add a warm accent.

See grey in the bathroom — before you paint

The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the bathroom and type "repaint the bathroom in grey". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
