Is gray a porosity or a balance?
Gray looks as striking as black in the interior, but the shades of gray are not as gloomy. Gray is almost as plain as white, but it doesn’t show as much dirt.
Gray is produced by mixing black and white. Depending on the proportions, dark or light shades can be obtained. Gray is a versatile and flexible color. Gray for bathroom interiors is a figure of speech because this color blends perfectly with other shades and is rarely free of additions and accents.
Gray is easily adaptable to any environment, which is why gray bathroom interior ideas are so popular. What effect does gray have on mood? Its hue is said to help you not to indulge your emotions and to relax without being distracted by external stimuli.
In a sense, gray is not a color at all, but rather its absence. As the sun sets, a gray twilight descends, and at dawn, the sun’s rays dispel the darkness and bright colors come to the fore. In a largely gray interior, the accents of color are equally surprising.
Surprisingly, gray is appropriate any time and anywhere – in any room, regardless of the style chosen.
Is a gray bathroom interior stylish or not?
There are countless pure shades of gray levels, which can be achieved by mixing white and black. The human eye can distinguish about 700 shades of gray, and designers use a palette of 256 shades.
And how many shades can be produced by mixing gray and other colors in the spectrum on the same palette? Each color, diluted with gray, transforms in its own way and takes on an unusual character.
Therefore, gray bathroom interiors are relative. The key is to combine gray with other colors and complementary textures and shapes that will make the difference between one style or another.
- Straight lines and corners, flawless geometric shapes look great in shades of light gray. Without adding shades of pink or blue, the interior will look dull, they will make the gray active and varied.
- Dark shades of gray look elegant in the presence of rounded silhouettes.
How to use gray in different styles of bathroom interiors?
1. Minimalism
Gray bathroom tiles give the interior a rustic look, which is helpful in creating a minimalist composition. Tones and halftones as well as proper lighting can be used to create a comfortable atmosphere.
Simple recessed fixtures should provide soft lighting throughout the room and backlighting should highlight important areas such as the sink and mirror.
2. Ultra-modern and high-tech
Gray, especially darker shades such as graphite and Marengo, is a natural choice for high-tech interiors. Gray wall tiles complement white and black sanitary fixtures, such as bathtubs, sinks, toilets, and bidets, equally well. High-tech chrome faucets and black sanitaryware fit well.
The style favors blue and purple highlights and accessories in the same color scheme. Combined with gray finishes, blue does look like an exotic guest while lending a touch of understated elegance to the interior.
3. Baroque, Classicism
For classical interiors, gray marble-like porcelain, accessories in precious metal bronze, silver, and gold, half columns and niches as well as freestanding or pedestal bathtubs are ideal.
Bathroom wall tiles in calming gray tones combined with dark woods with bright, active textures serve as a backdrop for the cast iron bathtub on lion’s feet, a less fussy and more traditional version of the classics.
Gray in small bathroom design
In small spaces, bathroom interiors require a variety of design techniques and skills to ensure that the décor does not “eat up” the space, but also visually enhances it.
What design techniques using gray can help to visually free up space? Gray wall tiles, furniture with fronts that match the walls, and lighter colored accessories will visually eliminate the impression of a crowded space.
Incidentally, gray bathroom tiles are the perfect backdrop for a gray bathroom accessories set. The white-washed sanitary ware brings a sense of cleanliness and perfect order to the bathroom’s interior design.
Glossy wall tiles and mirror cabinets on the opposite side, or large framed mirrors surrounded by wall sconces, will create a feeling of spaciousness due to the reflection of light and glare.
The benefits of gray interiors
Gray bathroom designs can be easily updated by changing the accent of the color. Bathroom accessories, towels and robes, mats, and other colors of curtains will change the interior to be unrecognizable.
Even fresh flowers will become an active “pop” of color if the background is a gray bathroom tile. Gray is the only color that does not overload the eyesight and has no adverse psychological effects.
To keep the interior from looking monotonous, use active textures in addition to color accents to attract attention. The shape of bathtubs and sink bowls and other furniture is as much a decorative element as their color and texture.
If the emphasis is on decorative details, they will be more striking on lighter surfaces. The lighter tones emphasize the contours of the object well and do not hide the expressive textures.
How do you iron out the flaws of gray?
- How do you raise the temperature of a room, since gray is a cold color?
Warm tones, such as gold flecks and details in pinks and crimson can compensate for this. For example, gray tiles with floral patterns, mosaics, or patchwork tiles that run as friezes along the walls (vertically or horizontally) will immediately change the status of the room to “elegant”. Decorations are best used in a piecemeal fashion to avoid overloading the interior.
To create a warm note in the interior, the best solution is to use wood textures in the interior. Firstly, it is a perfect contrast and secondly, it is an element of the home.
- Dark gray accentuates the geometry of the room, so if it is not ideal, lighter shades should be used to help “blur” the borders of the room.
