Gray Bathrooms We Love (and How to Design Your Own)

Gray bathrooms are a popular design choice, thanks to their versatility. But if you're a color-lover like me, you might shy away from gray due to the myth that it's a "boring" color. Gray is neutral, but this allows it to be a calming backdrop for just about any design style, from sleek-modern to cozy-traditional. Whether you're drawn to cool, silvery grays or warm, earthy tones, there's a shade of gray to suit every taste and bathroom size. From subtle, soft grays that evoke a minimalist vibe, to deeper, more dramatic shades that add a touch of luxury, gray bathrooms can be as understated or as bold as you want them to be.

Plus, gray pairs effortlessly with a wide range of colors and materials — like natural wood finishes, and bold metallic fixtures — allowing for endless customization options. Gray also works well with tons of textures and finishes, including glossy tiles, matte walls, and everything in between, giving you the opportunity to add depth, texture, and personalization to your bathroom.

Whether you're stuck in a rental that came with a gray bathroom or you are looking to remodel, consider gray an asset to create a stunning, spa-like space. These gray bathroom designs will inspire you to create a space that feels both timeless and on-trend. Discover how gray can transform your bathroom into a stylish and soothing retreat.

Gray could never be boring when paired with a fresh pastel pink color accent and a trendy material like terrazzo, as seen in this Detroit loft's "1960s Italian Dystopia" style bathroom.

Alicia Macias
The ultra-modern bathroom in this Spanish apartment avoids feeling cold or impersonal, thanks to the choice of a dark, warm gray paint color, but also by choosing a soft, limewash finish that gives the walls depth and texture.

Lauren Kolyn
The gray and white hex tiles on one accent wall in this home's modern bathroom make quite the visual statement. Thanks to the small tile size and the randomized color pattern, the entire effect is vibrant and energizing.

David Balkind
High contrast between dark gray and white is what makes the chic bathroom in this grand Victorian house so bold. Using a marble with a busy pattern in the shower, paired with a gray wall paint color so dark it's almost black, steeps the entire room in drama.

Emilio Collavino
A small contemporary bathroom with uniformly patterned gray tile walls gets an infusion of fun, thanks to the vertical living plant wall embedded in one of the walls.

Samara Vise
A Boston loft avoids a boring gray bathroom simply by choosing the right shade of gray. This room's saturated, medium-tone gray envelops the room and makes it feel cozy, contrasting nicely with the white elements in the space, adding just the right amount of interest.
