    13 Grey Bathroom Design Ideas

    Grey has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity over the past few years. Once considered a boring, drab color for home decor, grey is now seen as a new neutral. It’s on bathroom tile, flooring, the wall—everywhere!

    Grey bathroom decor can be elevated into an elegant, sophisticated space, or tweaked into a quirky little hideaway. Whatever your preference, we have 57 amazing grey bathroom ideas to inspire your next bathroom makeover.

    1. Explore Concrete Features in Grey Bathroom Design

    The natural grey tones in concrete make it an ideal material to incorporate into your bathroom design. Concrete floors are durable and provide the same water impermeability as floor tile. Concrete can be etched or stained for a unique finish and also used for grey walls and vanity countertops.

    Because of its weight, it’s best to save concrete for single-story homes that are built on a concrete slab, or in steel-structured apartments. Standard floor joists aren’t strong enough to support its weight.

    2. Upgrade to a Contemporary Grey Bathroom

    It would be hard to find a more perfect contemporary bathroom color than grey. Each shade of grey works well in contemporary and transitional decor, enabling the room’s architectural details to stand out.

    For an elegant updated grey bathroom, replace silver fixtures with black ones. You will enjoy the visual contrast between black fixtures, white tile, and grey walls and paint.

    3. Embrace Dark Grey for a Bold Bathroom Look

    On the darker end of the grey tones scale, we find graphite, gunmetal, and charcoal grey color options. These almost-black tile and paint color options are ideal if you enjoy the moodiness of black but don’t want a shade quite as dark.

    Dark grey bathroom ideas are perfect in modern or rustic homes where a masculine vibe is desired. White-veined black or dark grey marble tile is a beautiful way to merge charcoal walls with a white shower, vanity, sink, and toilet. Chrome or brushed nickel fittings are a classic pairing with this bathroom idea.

    4. Learn to Differentiate Fixtures and Fittings in Grey Bathrooms

    When building or remodeling a home, it can be easy to confuse bathroom terminology. Bathroom fixtures are the permanent bathroom features, including the shower, tub, toilet, and sink. Bathroom fittings can be moved more easily and include mirrors, wall cabinets, toilet seats, and accessories.

    Fixtures and fittings are available in many color choices, most of which coordinate well with grey bathroom ideas. To save money, apply grey paint to the bathroom vanity, wall cabinet, mirror frames, or any other fittings that can be painted.

    5. Discover Luxury Grey Tile Options for Master Baths

    Grey is a fantastic foundation color if a luxurious master bathroom renovation is in your near future. Carrara marble, granite, basalt, and slate are excellent natural stone grey tile options when the budget is generous. Look for unique tile shapes and materials, such as light grey fish scale tile, or liquified glass dark grey tile in an arabesque shape.

    Splurge on a mosaic tile border or panel inside the shower—which of course should be fitted with multiple shower heads. Install glass shower walls instead of a shower curtain, so you can fully showcase your high-end grey tile bathroom selections.

    6. Streamline Your Bathroom with Pewter and Modern Fixtures

    A modern bathroom has streamlined fixtures and fittings, paired with a simple color scheme. For example, a floating vanity and glass bowl basin takes the place of a traditional vanity and sink. Shower stalls are impressive displays of grey bathroom tile, and not hidden behind a shower curtain.

    Pewter is an excellent grey paint color for a modern bathroom wall finish. A beautiful cross between grey and silver, pewter’s neither light nor dark—a perfect middle tone to support grey color ranges at each end of the spectrum.

    7. Create a Unique Monochrome Grey Bathroom

    A monochrome photo is one that’s printed in black and white or varying shades of a single color. Monochromatic room ideas are the same, with one color appearing in different shade options. Speaking of photos, framed black and white photographs make excellent grey bathroom wall decor.

    Because grey is on such a spectrum, from pale grey to nearly black, a grey monochrome bathroom doesn’t have to be boring. Look for grey bathroom tile that includes multiple hues of grey, then select those individual shades when choosing your grey paint color palette.

    8. Maximizing Style in Small Powder Rooms with Light Grey Tones

    A powder room is a small bathroom, minus a shower or tub. Vanity space and even wall space may be limited, but you can still create a beautiful small bathroom within its confines. Look for a narrow profile vanity and toilet to free up as much floor space as possible.

    Since a white bathroom tends to look bigger than one with a darker color scheme, try to keep your greys on the lighter end of the grey spectrum. A light grey bathroom can feel just as spacious as a white bathroom, but it won’t seem as sterile. If you prefer darker grey colors, choose one for an accent wall, or install dark grey floor tile.

    9. Rustic Bathroom Ideas with Grey Wood Accents

    Wood tends to turn grey as it weathers, and a weathered grey wood vanity is an excellent addition to a rustic themed bathroom. Install a faux brick wall for an accent feature, and replace ordinary tile with floor tile planks that resemble grey driftwood.

    Be sure to add other unrefined textures to your grey rustic bath, such as a hammered metal sink basin and rough-cut floating shelves. Black is always a great addition to rustic spaces, so shop for black iron towel racks for the wall, and iron drawer pulls for the vanity and wall cabinet.

    10. Design a Scandinavian Bathroom with Grey Tones

    A grey Scandinavian bathroom needs touches of real wood to make it true Scandinavian-inspired design. It’s good that grey looks great next to any type of wood stain, so feel free to use your grey colors beside the pale wood finishes that are popular in Nordic homes.

    White is also a common bathroom color in Scandinavia, so either add touches of white or choose a very pale dove grey for your walls. Be sure to keep the space uncluttered and choose furniture and fittings that reflect this design style’s simplicity.

    11. Enhance Small Bathrooms with Colors and Lines

    A small bathroom is a great space to add creative decorating ideas to a basic grey bathroom. Splashes of color keep the room cheerful and interesting, but try not to overdo it. Green plants will add life to the room as well as a welcome dash of color.

    Keep in mind that any kind of horizontal lines will make the room feel wider. Arrange subway tile in a horizontal pattern, or buy textured shower tile that has horizontal lines. Cover a feature wall in shiplap and paint it dove grey, or hang a large-scale wallpaper pattern that includes wide lines.

    12. Find the Perfect Grey Tile for Any Budget

    Virtually any type of bathroom tile you can imagine comes in several shades of grey. From natural marble to recycled glass tile, there’s a grey tile option for every budget and design preference.

    Look for ways to add expensive tile accents that add richness to a bargain-tiled bathroom. A marble tile inset is a good way to incorporate this elegant material into your grey bathroom without breaking the bank.

    13. Choose the Right Paint or Wallpaper for Grey Bathrooms

    While some bathrooms are covered in tile from floor to ceiling, most have half-tiled walls. Others only have tile on the floor and leave the walls bare. Whichever type of bathroom wall you have, choosing the right paint or wallpaper is a foundational part of the room’s design.

    Consider painting each wall a slightly different shade of grey, or choose a light and dark grey to paint on opposite walls. Tape off stripes or another pattern for an inexpensive wallpaper substitute. Or search online for various painting techniques that are easy to DIY, such as the modern bathroom wall ideas in this video:

    13 Kitchen Bar Ideas and Design Recommendations

    If your family is like mine and loves to spend time in the kitchen chatting and cooking together, then a bar kitchen is the perfect spot to entertain! You don’t really need a large space, any little nook can be an awesome bar, you just need to accessorize it properly and it will be an inviting space for you and your friends to hang out, watch sports, and have a few drinks while preparing a delicious meal. That’s what interior design is all about: creating cozy spaces that fit your lifestyle and help you make the most use of your house.

    Check out the kitchen bar ideas we have selected for you and get inspired to decorate your home bar right now!

    [view_toc]

    1. Build a Basement Bar for Entertainment Spaces

    Whether you have a man cave or a family room in your basement, a home bar is a must-have. When you’re watching TV or entertaining, you don’t want to go up and down the stairs to fetch something to eat or drink. So, a wet bar or even a dry bar are essential in a basement.

    Style up your bar by installing open shelves to display bottles and glassware, and mirrored walls, which will make the space feel brighter and bigger. 

    2. Versatile Kitchen Bar Countertop Choices for Social Cooking

    When you’re entertaining, you don’t really want to be apart from your guests while preparing meals or drinks. That is why a kitchen bar is fundamental. Install an island or a peninsula with bar stools, so you can be surrounded by friends and family while cooking or fixing drinks.

    Granite countertops have been a homeowner’s favorite for a long time, and it still remains the number one choice in breakfast bars and kitchen counters. Marble countertops are also a hit, even though they need some maintenance. Marble is a porous stone that requires professional sealing upon installation, to help prevent damage. 

    Quartz countertops, on the other hand, are the most durable ones. They are very easy to clean, are not susceptible to knife cuts, and won’t chip or crack. Contrary to marble, quartz is highly stain-resistant. Other options to choose from are resin countertops, wood or butcher’s block, laminate, concrete, solid surface, soapstone, and glass countertops.

    Solid surface countertops mimic natural stone, but are manmade, and come in a wide variety of patterns and colors. They don’t need to be sealed and won’t absorb stains. Glass countertops are extremely heat resistant and look awesome with LED lights or epoxy resin.

    3. Curved Kitchen Bars: A Unique Twist for Home Entertainment

    A kitchen bar can be the centerpiece of your home if you like to entertain. And if you want this space to stand out, why not have a different and exclusive design? Have a look at this design idea we have selected for you.

    Curved bars are unique! Differently from a square or rectangular kitchen island, the curved layout allows for people to sit across from each other, like around a table. It’s welcoming and great for hosting guests. With a curved bar, you will hold your parties in the kitchen from now on, instead of the living room.

    4. DIY Kitchen Bar Creations: Repurposing Vintage Furniture

    If you are the DIY type, why not repurpose a vintage dresser into a cool kitchen breakfast bar?

    Add casters and a wooden top on a sideboard or refinish an old desk into a cool rolling dry bar! You can upgrade a rustic table and transform it into a stylish wet bar, with a wine sink. Add some counter stools and let the party begin!

    5. Create a Kitchen Bar with a Half Wall

    If your kitchen is separated from the living space, and you don’t want to go through a full kitchen remodeling, open a half wall. Add a countertop and stools and you’ll have your kitchen bar, and the open space feel.

    You will be able to use your kitchen cabinets, so you won’t need extra storage for the bar area. If the space allows, install a wine fridge under the counter.

    6. Industrial Style Bar: A Blend of Concrete, Wood, and Granite

    If you like the industrial style, think of concrete flooring, open ceiling, and wood elements. Bar stools with a granite countertop and pendant lights are complemented by floating shelves to display glassware and bottles.

    7. Transform Kitchen Space into Versatile Bar Areas

    Kitchen bar designs can be versatile to suit different needs. You can transform your peninsula into a bar area, with some barstools and shelving for bottles and glasses.

    That coffee nook can also be upgraded into a bar area for when you have guests over.

    8. DIY Minibar Design with Pallets and Stone Blocks for Cozy Nooks

    Pallets and stone blocks, that’s all you need to build a cool minibar, and create a cozy little nook either inside, or outside. Pallet racks on the wall will look awesome with your pallet mini bar!

    Small spaces can be accessorized with a bar cart and some seating, which include patio chairs in outdoor spaces.

    9. Distinguishing Kitchen Islands and Breakfast Bars

    A kitchen island and a breakfast bar are very similar, with the exception that you need a 12 to 16-inch countertop overhang for a breakfast bar, to create enough room for seating. A kitchen island, on the other hand, does not have these space requirements.

    If you don’t have a countertop overhang, there won’t be enough leg room, and seating will be rather uncomfortable.

    10. Create an Outdoor Kitchen Bar with Durable Materials

    An outdoor kitchen is a great addition to any home and a perfect spot to entertain. Materials that can endure weather conditions, like granite countertops and wood, are ideal for outdoor bars.

    Source: @lionheart_a_r_t via Instagram

    Aluminum and stainless steel elements are also a good call. It’s important to install cabinets in your outdoor bar area, to avoid all the running around from the house to the bar, to fetch things. Wood and stainless steel cabinets are the most common choices for outside spaces.

    11. Install a Kitchen Bar in Small Spaces

    A comfortable bar with seating area for three should be at least 6 feet long, and about 16 to 20 inches wide for the bar counter.

    If your space is too small for a bar with seating, a bar cart is an option. Or you can create a dry bar with cabinetry and shelving in a cozy nook.

    12. Wall-Mounted and Murphy Bars for Compact Areas

    You don’t need much for a wall-mounted bar, other than a beautiful wooden slab and some stools.

    A murphy bar is also a great solution if you don’t have enough room for a standing cabinet.

    13. Create a Rustic or Classic Home Bar

    Natural décor and earthy colors complemented by wooden cabinetry provide a rustic feel to your bar area.

    Dark wood cabinets, on the other hand, bring a classic touch and casual sophistication to a home bar. White countertops with dark wood cabinets are a perfect contrast, along with stainless steel beverage fridges.

    Wood, light-color finishes, and natural elements like wicker baskets are the basis for this design style. You can mix and match with a bold flooring design or create an accent wall with paintings and dried flowers.

    3. Elegance in Contrast: Black Bathrooms with Sophisticated Accents

    Black is a bold color choice for a bathroom, it can be quite elegant and sophisticated with the right décor. You can explore mirrors and crystals in a dark bathroom, for a touch of luxury and style.

    White marble countertops make a nice contrast with black wall tiles. Another option is to lay black and white mosaic floor tiles. Brass fixtures stand out in a black bathroom, making a nice contrast.

    4. Embracing Glamour in Bathroom Design with Chandeliers

    Nothing defines a glam bathroom better than a chandelier. Along with crystal lighting, explore marbles, glass, and mirrors.

    Complement the décor with a mirrored vanity, a freestanding bathtub, and shower glass panels. Add sophistication with a chaise next to a side table, ornamented with scented candles and beautiful flowers in a stylish crystal vase.

    5. Enhancing Relationships with Double Sinks and Showerheads

    Double sinks are said to be relationship saviors. It is tricky, having to share a single sink with minimum counter space, since both men and women need room and storage for different toiletries.

    So, if you’re thinking about a master bathroom renovation, plan for separate vanities or his and hers sink. I don’t know if this is the key to a long-lasting and happy marriage, but it will certainly make the morning rush more pleasant. Double showerheads add extra comfort and sophistication to any bathroom.

    6. Embracing Minimalism in Bathroom Design

    Minimalist design is all about functionality. Simple lines and functional pieces that double as décor define the minimalist style and help create a roomy space.

    Keep all surfaces clear if you want a sense of amplitude, and for that, you need ample storage. Choose light colors for the walls and tiles, with some accent wood or black finishes.

    7. Modern Bathroom Design with Clean Lines and Geometric Shapes

    Very much like the minimalist style, modern-style bathrooms are defined by clean lines, geometric shapes, and uncluttered, clear counters. Modern floating vanities and shelves provide the much-needed storage space in a bathroom.

    Wood and concrete are complemented by straight-line elements and finishes and very few décor pieces help create a serene ambiance.

    8. Maximizing Small Bathrooms: Fitting Freestanding Bathtubs and Showers with Style

    Take a look at these awesome examples of how you can fit a freestanding bathtub with an independent shower in a small bathroom. You can opt for a rectangular, oval, or round bathtub. A corner bathtub may also be a solution for small spaces.

    It all depends on the bathroom layout, but it may take only a few steps to transform the space into your dream bathroom. To make the space look bigger, install a large mirror over a floating vanity, and don’t overdo the décor with bathroom accessories. 

    White marble countertops make a nice contrast with dark wood cabinets and white wall tiles, as well as white floor tiles. Add a glass shower enclosure for the showerhead, and a freestanding bathtub. You can have a chic bathroom, no matter the size!

    Simple ideas make great spaces! It takes no more than a decorated porcelain vessel sink over a wooden slab to make a sophisticated and ultra-stylish vanity.

    Modern solid base freestanding tubs are very trendy, but other options are corner tubs, built-ins, or Japanese Ofuro soaking tubs. No matter the style, the idea is always to have that unparallel spa feel in your master retreat.

    11. Vintage Master Bathroom Charm with Claw-Foot Bathtubs

    A claw-foot style is the best option for a bathtub if you want a vintage master bathroom.

    Another great option for a vintage-style design is to repurpose an old dresser as a vanity. The characteristic pink marble top of antique dressers is complemented by a porcelain vessel sink with a vintage faucet, creating a unique piece.

    12. Amplifying Bathroom Elegance with White Design and Contrasting Accents

    White is always a safe bet. With natural light and large mirrors, the white color gives the space a sense of amplitude and peace. Use some accent colors on the walls, or in bathroom accessories, and make sure you have some flowers over the countertop, for a touch of elegance.

    You can choose an artificial flower arrangement instead of natural flowers. Some look incredibly realistic and capture the same beauty as real flowers. Dark wood cabinets make a nice contrast in a white bathroom. Complement the décor with silver, brass, or black fixtures. The same goes for sconces or pendant lights.

With extra cabinets and shelves, kids can now store away their toiletries and even have enough room to place personal decor.

    It gives them an added sense of freedom and responsibility in taking care of their own items. Plus, you’ll no longer have to worry about your child accessing medicines and other potentially dangerous items as everything can be childproofed in just one space.

    If you find the space is inadequate for all your belongings, try organizing with crates under the shelf for extra storage. Utilizing this versatile multi-storage design in your bathroom can ensure that everything has its own designated spot, creating an organized and stylish atmosphere.

    Sometimes as little as one can add just the right touch, while when they’re clustered together they simply create something eye-catching.

    However it’s worth noting that as chic and clean as this look may be, it also requires higher maintenance than other options as white shows dirt and water spots more easily.

    9 Small Bathroom Flooring Ideas

    Bathroom flooring is not only important for the aesthetic of the space but also for comfort and safety. Non-slippery, waterproof materials are a perfect choice. When it comes to bathroom flooring, matte materials are a good choice. They are designed to increase the grip of the feet to the ground, thus preventing domestic accidents. 

    Rubber floors are also a good call, being increasingly used in small bathrooms and other areas of the house. They are warm, waterproof, and easy to clean. The most common, though, are porcelain tiles, hardwood floors, ceramic non-slippery tiles, and decorative stones.

    Check out the small bathroom flooring ideas we have selected for you.

    [view_toc]

    1. Grey Floor Tiles

    Large tiles are trendy and make a perfect combo with hardwood floors. White vanities with marble countertops complement the décor. In cold weather, the best flooring option is undoubtedly radiant heated floors.

    Underfloor radiant heating heats the entire floor, providing uniform heating with no cold drafts.

    2. Hexagon Floor Tiles

    If you’re looking for design ideas for your next bathroom remodel, think of hexagon tiles.

    Small hexagon tiles are called honeycomb tiles, and they can form a beautiful mosaic if you choose various colors to compose your flooring design. Rectangular wall tiles are a perfect match for hexagon tiling floors, either in large or small configurations.

    3. Marble Bathroom Floor

    Carrara marble is a classic. Timeless and elegant, it is a great option for showers and wet areas, and match perfectly with various décor styles. Marble brings style and sophistication to any space and can be applied from floors to walls.

    Marble tiles are scratch-resistant and extremely durable. They do not require maintenance other than regular moping. Herringbone, chevron, hexagon, square or rectangular, marble tiles come in several shapes so you can create unique patterns in your bathroom.

    4. Mosaic Tiles for Bathroom Floor

    The best bathroom design is the one you feel comfortable in and reflects your taste and personality. If you like mosaic floor tiling, there are endless combinations of colors, shapes, sizes, and finishes. They can be made of real pebbles, travertine, or marble if you prefer natural stone tiles. But you also find them in ceramic, glass, metal, and porcelain.

    You can match darker floor tiling with white wall tiles, and add some organic décor pieces, like wicker baskets and ceramic pots.

    7. Vinyl Floor Tiles

    Vinyl flooring is available in tiles and planks and comes in many styles, colors, and sizes. Vinyl planks are a great option for bathroom flooring. They are low-maintenance, durable, water-resistant, and affordable, and some look like real wood.

    Luxury vinyl tiles are ideal for bathrooms, because of their ability to resist frequent water spills. Cork flooring sheets are another flooring idea for bathrooms. They are resistant to mold and mildew and may be a smart choice for damp bathrooms.

    24 Bathroom Vanity Ideas

    Everyone needs bathroom storage, to keep towels, and bathroom essentials. Freestanding pedestal sinks do not offer counter space, such an essential item especially when you want to get ready for a day’s work ahead. Medicine cabinets are tiny, without enough space to store all the everyday toiletry items we need at arm’s reach.

    So, a bathroom vanity is an essential item for you to keep your bathroom tidy and organized.  No matter the size of your bathroom, you will see that there are simple ways to make it more functional, with the awesome ideas we will give you in this post.

    [view_toc]

    1. Bespoke Bathroom Vanities

    Custom-made vanities are always an excellent choice. Take a look at the examples of dual vanity below: a custom-made cabinet that takes advantage of the space between the sinks, with a set of drawers between the lower cabinets. This type of cabinetry provides plenty of highly needed bathroom storage space.

    In the other example, instead of a dual vanity, the space was used for a single vanity with cabinets and drawers, and the extra space is used as a makeup station, another essential item for every woman.

    These are examples of how much custom vanities can add to the space: they are designed to use the space’s exact measurements. Using a wall-to-wall slab, for example, will allow for a wider countertop with more room for bathroom essentials.

    2. DIY Vanity Projects

    There are creative ideas for you to install a vanity that combines beauty and functionality, at affordable prices.

    Open niches look great when paired with baskets and rolled-up bath towels. Floating cabinets are also trendy. They make the space look bigger and are easier to maintain since there’s no risk of getting in contact with water when cleaning the bathroom.

    With a little imagination, you can turn an old piece of furniture into a stylish vanity. Install a vessel sink on top of an antique table and adapt a shelf on the bottom for towel baskets, and you’ll have a unique décor piece in your bathroom. 

    The most common materials you can use in your DIY project are wood and MDF. Just keep n mind that both have to be properly sealed to avoid moisture. Mirrored and glass cabinets are an alternative to wood cabinets.

    3. Dual Sink Designs

    If your bathroom is large enough for a double vanity, then you shouldn’t let the space go wasted. Install a wall-to-wall vanity to make the most use of storage space to tuck away toiletries and other bathroom essentials.

    If your vanity is in desperate need of a facelift, a quick but effective solution is to give it a fresh coat of paint and replace the knobs. Sometimes, this is all you need to transform an old vanity into a sleek and stylish décor piece.

    4. Contemporary Vanity Styles

    Melamine coatings are probably the most common finishes for bathroom and kitchen cabinets.

    It is possible to find a wide variety of colors and patterns, but there’s also the possibility of adding colored glass or mirrors in cabinet doors and drawers, upcycling an ordinary cabinet to a refined and modern bathroom vanity.

    5. Open-Shelf Vanity Concepts

    Open shelving and floating vanities are very trendy. You can repurpose a shelving unit into an open vanity that will offer enough space for baskets where you can store towels and toiletries.

    A freestanding vanity can also be very charming. Choose one with lower shelf storage, that will make your bathroom feel larger. You can accessorize it with baskets and ball jars.

    6. Rustic Vanity Inspirations

    Rustic Barnwood vanities are pretty and timeless. You can add some sophisticated items like a white marble countertop to contrast the dark wood.

    Wicker baskets and polished brass hardware complement the décor.

    7. Solo Sink Vanities

    Single vanities for bathrooms or powder rooms can be stylish and functional. If you want an out-of-the-box solution, consider a large drawer that can be repurposed as a floating vanity.

    An antique dresser can also be transformed into a stylish vanity with a coat of paint, new hardware, a built-in towel bar, and a vessel sink.

    8. Compact Vanity Solutions

    When looking for functional storage in a small bathroom vanity, there are a few things you must take into account: If you choose a built-in sink instead of a vessel sink, it’s important to consider its size when designing the cabinet. Should it be too deep, it will end up stealing internal space and limiting the storage capacity.

    Also, take your measurements right and make sure there’s enough circulation space when the cabinet doors are open. Creativity makes up for the lack of space. You can have a tilt-out laundry hamper, alongside drawers. 

    Vanity units that include drawers and at least one cabinet door are well-suited for various storage needs. You can use countertop space for organizers with day-to-day toiletry items, and maximize the use of vertical space by adding floating shelves for extra storage.

    9. Classic Vintage Vanities

    Think out of the box when you want a vintage-style vanity for your bathroom. Vintage tables or dressers can be upcycled to make spectacular bathroom vanities.

    A vintage cabinet can also be converted into a sleek and stylish vanity. Vessel sinks allow for more storage room inside the cabinet and give the vanity a modern look.

    Visit thrift stores and salvage yards to find exclusive pieces that you can transform into a showstopper vanity!

    10. Wooden Vanity Creations

    Have you ever thought of transforming an old workbench into a vanity? An old bench or even one simple slab of recycled wood can be transformed into an awesome floating vanity.

    Half bathrooms are the saving grace that keeps us from having to wait too long on the wrong side of the bathroom door. Called half bathrooms because they lack a shower or tub, they still provide the most basic functions of a bathroom.

    A half bath or powder room is usually a small space that presents certain home decor challenges. Even so, there’s no reason you can’t turn it into a dazzling little room. Check out our 40 best half bathroom ideas and you’ll see what we mean.

    1. Fit A Vanity In A Recessed Wall

    A half bathroom is the perfect way to save space in your home. With a recessed vanity, you can ensure that your bathroom doesn’t stick out too far and create a cramped atmosphere. The snug design allows for efficient storage of essential items such as towels and toiletries.

    You can set up this kind of bathroom strategically to maximize space even more, by putting it in an inconspicuous corner of the house or along a hallway wall. Take advantage of the clever half bathroom design – with recessed vanities, cabinet shelves, and minimal floor-space you’ll find great value in one of these convenient fixtures!

    2. Install Vintage-style Fixtures

    For those looking to make an impact with their half bathroom, vintage-style fixtures and decor can really create a nostalgic yet unique experience.

    Moreover, the vintage pieces give you freedom when it comes to design–forget about complicated tile designs and sleek finishes; vintage style is all about finding that perfect piece that encapsulates your aesthetic.

    4. Fill The Room With Greens

    A half bathroom with plants is a great way to add a touch of nature and beauty to your home. Dried flowers or plants are the perfect choices for this space due to their low maintenance requirements, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style!

    Depending on the look you’re going for, dried floral bouquets in lovely vases create a beautiful, boutique-style atmosphere. If dried plants aren’t quite your thing and you want something more natural, consider adding some potted plants like succulents and ferns. An additional bonus benefit would be the addition of some eucalyptus branches in a ceramic vase – not only will it add greenery and life, but the scent can also even help create an inviting atmosphere.

    24 Kitchen Paint Color Ideas and Schemes

    The kitchen is the heart of your home, where family and friends gather to share stories and delicious meals. It needs to be a comfortable and inviting place to be. The right color in your kitchen can fuel your appetite and create the right atmosphere you hope to create. The wrong color can make your kitchen feel uncomfortable and dark. When choosing your paint colors, think beyond the walls. You could paint the cabinets, island, ceiling, or floor. 

    These kitchen paint ideas will help you figure out which colors are the perfect addition to your kitchen.

    [view_toc]

    1. Blue

    Turn your white walls blue and make your white subway tile pop. Whether it’s a bright pastel or a deep, highly saturated navy, the combination of white and blue is one of the most popular color ideas. If you have a neutral farmhouse kitchen, adding blue can refresh it. Dark blue looks classic when paired with white.

    Paint your lower cabinets dark blue and leave your upper cabinets white. Or paint your kitchen island dark blue and your wall cabinets white. For a unique approach to the color combination, paint your ceiling blue. This works for both light and dark shades of blue.

    2. Brown

    Don’t paint your kitchen brown. It will look outdated and dirty. A darker shade will not inspire feelings of hunger, life, or comfort. If you have your heart set on a neutral color palette, consider more earthy tones. Instead of chocolate brown, consider rust, terracotta, mustard, clay, or moss.

    Source: @jellyjjam via Instagram

    These colors aren’t brown but are in the same color family and will give you an updated look to your kitchen. For homeowners who aren’t willing to give up on brown, achieve your desired color in another way other than with paint. Choose a wood in your chosen shade of brown for the cabinets and a brown stone for the countertop.

    3. Dark Green

    When it comes to kitchens, dark green and white is quite a trend these days. If you’re feeling adventurous, dark green cabinets paired with a white wall make for an incredibly cozy atmosphere that many people find calming.

    With dark green cabinets, you can always add a burst of color to your kitchen through some fun decor pieces — like patterned tea towels or vibrant potted plants. And if dark greens are too much for you, opt for lighter shades that still allow the white wall to stand out as the main focus of the room.

    When it comes to creating the perfect kitchen color scheme, dark green and white is a winning combination.

    4. Dark/Black

    If you have dark cabinets and countertops, then you’d be wise to paint your walls a complementary dark color. If you used a light color for the walls behind the dark cabinets, you would close your kitchen in, making it feel darker and smaller than it really is. If your kitchen units are light-colored, dark walls also work for you. If you aren’t ready to paint your entire kitchen a dark color, there is another option.

    Source: @queensrenovation48 via Instagram

    Paint your kitchen island a dark color. This kind of accent in your color palette gives your kitchen a fresh design while also helping to define your kitchen. The dark island keeps the dark color low so it won’t close your kitchen in. By keeping the visual weight low, the upper half of your kitchen feels bigger.

    6. Gray

    If you’re looking for a contemporary color that feels modern but not too sleek, then consider gray. It’s a perfect kitchen color idea for a kitchen that has broad appeal. A light gray will give you a bright design that works well with Scandinavian, contemporary, and farmhouse designs.

    A dark charcoal gray is perfect for giving your kitchen a more masculine and sophisticated feel. It’s softer than black, so it’s a more approachable color for an intimidating design style. The only drawback of gray is that you need to be careful with your stainless steel appliances. Choose a shade too close to the stainless steel, and your kitchen design will fall flat and look bland.

    7. Beige

    The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it’s never more apparent than when you choose beige cabinets to be the star of the show. Beige cabinets are an amazing way to bring in a subtle warmth while still creating an atmosphere of relaxation.

    The beige color will bring out wood accents and be complemented by almost any wall color, bringing a level of versatility along with timeless charm. Whether you’re adding new beige cabinets or refreshing existing ones with beige paint, your kitchen will be one-of-a-kind and beautiful.

    9. Pink

    Pink is a less common kitchen cabinet paint color. There are a few shades that people typically gravitate towards. Pastel, magenta, and mauve are popular. Depending on the interior design style you are aiming for, you will choose a different shade of pink.

    Magenta is vibrant and intense, making it perfect for a glam kitchen. Pastel is soft and gentle, perfect for a farmhouse, country, or even contemporary kitchen. Mauve is muted and darker, making it a good choice for a bohemian, rustic, or retro kitchen.

    10. Red

    Choosing a red color for your kitchen is a smart decision. There’s a reason many restaurants choose the color for their color scheme. Red inspires energy, passion, and appetite.

    Source: @saras_interior_homelife via Instagram

    This bold color is perfect for the walls or your kitchen cabinet color. However, it doesn’t work with all interior design styles. It looks best in modern and minimalist styles. It’s a little more challenging to use with a farmhouse or vintage design, but still possible. It won’t look right in a contemporary or Scandinavian kitchen.

    See more modern kitchen ideas here.

    11. Yellow

    Yellow is a bright and cheery kitchen paint color. It’s the color of the sun, which helps it feel energetic and youthful. To keep it from becoming too intense, choose a softer shade. Unless you’re aiming for a kindercore design, primary yellow has a limited number of applications where it looks beautiful and isn’t overwhelming.

    Source: @berryskoolie via Instagram
    Source: @moniqueogilvie_designs via Instagram

    Avoid a muted yellow shade. It will look dull and slightly dirty. A soft pastel shade is perfect for a farmhouse, country, or contemporary kitchen. It softens the look of an all-white kitchen while not detracting from the light reflecting effect.

Choose a design that complements your interior design style and put it on a wall that won’t experience high moisture levels. Preferably far from the shower area.

    2. Elevate Your Bathroom Style with the Perfect Metal Accents

    Once you’ve chosen your ideal shade of blue, it’s time to choose your bathroom accessory elements, such as hardware. You can change the look and feel of your bathroom with the metal you choose. Your home decor can dictate the metal you choose, or you can be innovative and choose what you like.

    Warm metals like gold, brass, rose gold, and oiled bronze will bring a sense of warmth to your bathroom. While cool metal like nickel, stainless steel, and silver will bring coldness to your bathroom. There is also the option of black, but it doesn’t always look right. Look at design ideas similar to your end goal to determine if black hardware is right for your bathroom.

    3. Coastal Elegance: Designing a Classic Blue Bathroom

    A classic blue color is perfect for creating a coastal theme in your bathroom. Pair it with a crisp, bright white for a clean design. Don’t be afraid to go bold with your design. You don’t have to limit the blue to the walls or tile. You could have a navy blue bathroom vanity with bright brass hardware.

    Check out blue bathroom ideas to discover your options. Instead of painting the walls, you could paint the ceiling blue. Or keep the upper half of the room light and bright and use a darker shade of blue on the bottom half of the walls or as floor tile.

    4. Creating a Contemporary Blue Bathroom

    Bright blue tiles, a blue vanity, or a blue patterned shower curtain can give your bathroom a contemporary feel. The blue accents will balance out the neutrals that are prevalent in contemporary design.

     If you’re doing a bathroom remodel, you could replace your old tile with blue wall tile. Choose a tile that isn’t too light of a shade. Deeper and more vibrant shades look more contemporary. The tile should also be a shape other than traditional. Modern tiles are geometric, long skinny rectangles, or even fish scales.

    5. Sophistication in Dark Blue Bathroom Design

    Dark blue bathrooms look elephant and sophisticated. Choose a deep and vibrant shade, such as navy. Pair it with lighter shades, such as white, light grey, or even teal. Accent the bathroom with gold for a luxurious look.

    Jewel tones can look beautiful with darker shades of blue. They brighten up the shade while complementing the blue. Be sure to add light accents to keep the bathroom from becoming too dark and moody. Reflective surfaces are also good for brightening up the bathroom.

    6. Enhancing Space and Elegance with Soft Pale Blue

    A soft pale blue can help a bathroom that lacks natural light to feel bigger and brighter. Be careful when choosing your light shade, though. You don’t want it to look too juvenile. To prevent this, choose a vanity style that looks more mature and elegant hardware.

    Be careful when using a light blue tile in your bathroom. The wrong shade and shape and your bathroom will look outdated from the 70s. Unless, of course, this is the vintage look you’re going for.

    7. Elevate Your Bathroom to Luxury with Premium Upgrades

    Creating a luxury bathroom isn’t about the color you choose. Instead, focus on the materials and upgrades you can add to your bathroom. Turn it into an experience. Choose a blue marble tile or another less common stone for the vanity top. Or you could have a white countertop and use the blue stone for the vanity wall or in the shower.

    Add accent lighting throughout the bathroom, such as along the ceiling, under the vanity cabinet, or in the shower. Replace the basic builder-grade elements with custom designs. Add a one-of-a-kind tub, customer plumbing hardware, and statement light fixtures.

    8. Modernize Your Bathroom with Geometric Designs

    Blue can be a good accent color for your modern bathroom. Creating a modern design is about more than color, though. Choose a blue hexagon tile or another geometric shape. An interlocking tile is also a good option for creating a modern design. If you’re adventurous, choose a textured or 3D tile.

    Pair your blue tile with sleek materials and designs. Stick with long straight lines and sharp 90-degree corners. Look at modern bathroom ideas to get inspired on what bathroom decor you should add. With modern design, keep the decor to a minimum, so the pieces you do add should be meaningful.

    9. Infuse Nautical Vibes with Deep Blue Bathroom Cabinets

    Create a nautical look in your bathroom with deep blue cabinets. Nautical and coastal are not the same. Coastal can have a more tropical or southern feel. It often includes beaches and everything that goes along with living on the coast. Nautical is more northeastern and boating-inspired.

    Accent the blue with bright red and yellow, like the kind you see on nautical flags. For the metal elements, stick with polished brass. Add teak elements to bring warmth into the bathroom and channel the wood elements you see on sailboats and yachts.

    10. Maximizing Style in Your Powder Room with Bold Tile and Wallpaper

    Because powder rooms tend to be smaller, you can choose a bolder tile design. Perhaps you create a custom design out of mosaic tile. Or you can skip the tile completely and use a hardwood laminate floor.

    Since there’s no tub or shower, the water splashing on the floor should be minimal. For the walls, you could add a bold patterned wallpaper where the primary color is blue. If you’re afraid of the wallpaper becoming overwhelming, add paneling to the bottom half of the walls.

    11. Elevate Your Tiny Bathroom with Serene Blue and White

    The color blue looks beautiful in a tiny bathroom. When paired with white and light gray, you have a color scheme that turns your small bathroom into a comfortable room to be in. You may not be able to have a double sink in your small bathroom.

    If this is the case, open up the space by installing a pedestal sink. This will help the bathroom to feel more open. A bright white one will contrast nicely against a dark blue wall.

    12. Selecting the Perfect Blue Tile for Your Bathroom

    There are countless options when it comes to choosing a blue tile. Start with the size and shape of the tile you want to use. You need to scale the size of the tile to the size of the bathroom. Too small, and it will look too busy. Too large, and it will overwhelm the room.

    You should also choose two different sizes for the floor and walls. This helps to visually break up the space. Next, you need to choose a color. A natural stone will have more variation and depth. A plain color will have a neutral effect. Don’t forget to choose a complementary grout color.

    13. Vintage Inspiration: Dark Blue Dresser in Your Bathroom

    Paint a vintage dresser dark blue and place it in a bathroom with white subway tile. Accent the bathroom with gold or black fixtures and hardware. Choose designs that have an ornate Victorian feel.

    You can create an art deco design by adding gold metal accenting with a geometric design. This accenting would be a perfect vanity wall design or decorative shower door. If you prefer a more recent vintage design, a pale blue tile can give you a 70s vibe if you prefer a more recent vintage design.

    14. Transforming Your Bathroom with Blue Walls and Patterns

    Making the walls in your bathroom blue is an easy way to change the color scheme in your bathroom. Try using different shades of blue to create depth and dimension in your bathroom. Darker shades should cause further away areas to sink back, while lighter blue shades should bring closer objects forward.

    The overall effect is a room that looks and feels bigger. Blue painted walls can look a bit plain, though. Try bringing movement and life to your bathroom by choosing a blue patterned wallpaper. Choose a design or pattern that complements your chosen design for the room.
