A gray-and-white bathroom is a timeless and chic color pairing that will work in any style of bathroom. From traditional to industrial, farmhouse, modern, contemporary, and beyond, this two-tone neutral color scheme makes decorating easy. The addition of white makes an all-gray monochromatic bathroom feel a little fresher and brighter.
Gray is a calming neutral color that pairs easily with white; choose pale shades for a soft feel, or darker shades for a moodier vibe. And be sure to embrace patterns and textures on everything from tile walls and floors to natural stone or pebble accents, depending on your style.
Check out these elegant gray-and-white bathrooms in a range of styles for inspiration.
