Grey Bathroom Decor

What is Grey Bathroom Decor?

Grey bathroom decor is simply decor that either defines a grey bathroom’s color scheme or enhances it. The decor may be grey as well, or it may be colors that complement a bathroom’s preexisting grey color scheme. 

What Grey Decor Will Highlight My Bathroom?

• Mirrors- Mirrors are essential in bathrooms, but they can also serve as bathroom decor. Whether you go with a traditional mirror or something round, oval, or some other shape, a mirror can go a long way in defining the style of your bathroom and add in personality. Plus, mirrors reflect light and will make the room seem bigger. 
• Rugs- Rugs are also a huge part of defining the style of the room. You can choose a traditional distressed rug to fit into a vintage vibe, or choose something more geometric to add in some modern flair. Runners can work well in front of long vanities, or a single 2x3 rug if your space is smaller.
• Wall Art- Wall art can be grey like the walls and floors, or you can incorporate other colors into paintings and other artwork on the walls. Blues, pinks, sunshine yellow, and lighter green tones are often paired with grey and serve as good accent colors as grey bathroom decor.
• Hand Towels- Just like the wall art, the hand towels and other linens can be used to add in another pop of color or further cement that grey color scheme. They’re essential to any bathroom, so why not strategically choose ones that go with your theme?
• Soap Dispensers/Storage Containers- Since grey often fits with farmhouse style, you often see soap dispensers and other containers like mason jars storing bathroom essentials like q-tips and soap. However, you can choose any soap dispenser and storage options to fit the scheme. This is also an opportunity to add in some natural materials like woven containers, which will brighten up your bathroom. 
• Plants- To add warmth to what could feel like a cold space, add in greenery and other plants. Even small plants like succulents work, since any pop of green or color stands out when a room is primarily grey. 
• Natural woods- Speaking of natural elements, you’ll find that natural wood tones are often used in grey bathrooms as wall shelving or vanities. It’s another way to add in warmth and to harken back to farmhouse style or other styles that highlight all things natural. 

How Should I Style My Bathroom With Grey Decor?

Grey can sometimes feel like a cold color, and while it is acceptable to make spaces feel cool and calming, you may want to add in elements to make the space feel warmer. Adding in the decor suggested above can help soften the space up and make it feel welcoming as opposed to too cold or stiff. 

Is Grey Bathroom Decor Going Out Of Style?

Grey has become a popular color in the past few years because it’s easy to work with and serves as a good base for so many different design styles. Whether you use grey to create a modern farmhouse style or something even more classic, grey bathroom decor is flexible enough that it will withstand the test of time and remain in style for a while.
