Transitional Gray and White

This transitional bathroom from Kate Marker Interiors features a gray double vanity paired with warm white walls, and a dual door cabinet displayed front and center. The bathroom is decorated with a rustic wooden ladder, marble countertops, and silver accents for a cool-toned finish.

Modern Gray and White

Clean lines, lots of light, and plenty of space are the main features of this modern primary bathroom from JK Interior Living. Pale gray-and-white chevron patterned tile covers the walls and floor, allowing the white garden tub to take center stage.

Mixed Gray-and-White Tiles

This bathroom from Amy Leferink at Interior Impressions has three different types of tile to create a layered look with a minimal color palette. Gold accents create an elegant feel.

Farmhouse-Style Bathroom

House 9 Interiors balanced farmhouse and industrial elements in this bathroom. The white vanity with a polished gray marble counter is nestled close to a rustic silver freestanding bathtub, and the mirror displayed over the sink adds interest and geometry to the mix.

Gray-and-White Marble

This elegant gray-and-white bathroom from Marie Flanigan Interiors has marble floors, a freestanding bathtub, and a spacious shower with a built-in bench and a shower niche.

An assortment of white floral decorations attached to the pale gray walls add texture and whimsy.

Gold Accents

Kate Marker Interiors accented this clean and simple bathroom design with a pair of gold-framed mirrors with an elongated shape that allows the space to feel larger and the ceiling taller than it is.

A coat of light gray paint elevates the sink vanity, a simple way to renovate an all-white bathroom without breaking the budget.

Color Blocking

Mix gray and white tiles by color blocking them to add definition to areas like the shower.

Make things even more interesting by mixing plain and patterned tiles, like this bathroom from Amy Leferink at Interior Impressions.

Black Plumbing Fixtures

This bathroom from Gray Space Interior Design pairs gray-and-white marble wall and floor tiles and a large white soaking tub with black plumbing fixtures and accents to create a minimalist but striking place to relax and recharge.

Gray-and-White Wallpaper

Desiree Burns Interiors outfitted this stylish powder room with a light marble countertop, gray-and-white patterned wallpaper, and medium gray paint on the doors and ceilings. A gold-rimmed mirror and accents add a metallic touch.

Gray-and-White Marble

Marie Flanigan Interiors outfitted this glamorous bathroom with gray-and-white marble from the countertops to flooring and walls. Gold accents add warmth and shine.

White Tile and Gray Shiplap

Leclair Decor paired vertical stacked white shower tile, gray chevron-patterned floor tile, and darker gray shiplap walls in this contemporary bathroom. Rose gold fixtures and a natural wood sink vanity add warmth.

Dark and Light Shades

Mix dark and light shades of gray for a sophisticated feel. This sleek and polished bathroom from Kate Marker Interiors has a medium-toned gray vanity, charcoal gray countertops, and white walls that serve as an ideal backdrop.

The silver bulb sconces mounted to the mirror and patterned tile in shades of gray tie it all together perfectly.

Dark Gray Flooring

Use dark gray flooring to make a white-walled bathroom with high ceilings feel cozier. Emily Henderson Design contrasted exposed natural wood ceilings with moody large format gray tiles in this mountain home bathroom, adding a white sheepskin rug for contrast and softness.

Wooden Vanity

Warm up a white-and-gray bathroom with wood tones, like this sleek space from Marie Flanigan Interiors.

A rich stain on the wood vanity warms up marble walls and floors, silver fixtures, and beveled glass storage cabinets and shower walls.

Bright White With Subtle Gray

You don’t have to go 50/50 when using color pairs. It’s often helpful to pick one color for a base and use the other as an accent, like this bathroom from Brophy Interiors.

The mostly white wall and tub have the slightest touches of gray that add dimension, and the gray floor works as a secondary accent to the mostly white space.

Patterned Tile Floors

Don’t feel like patterns have to stay confined to the walls—your floors are fair game, too. This bathroom from Blakely Interior Design has a gray-and-white patterned tile floor that sticks with gray and white colors, and still leaves a strong impression.

Opt for Mostly Gray

While plenty of bathrooms tend to work with white walls or a mostly white base, that doesn’t have to be the case.

This moody bathroom from Brophy Interiors has a dark gray wall and floor tile that sets off the bright white bathtub.

Patterns and Solids

Gray-and-white wallpaper with a wavy pattern adds definition to the WC in this spacious Northern California bathroom from Cathie Hong Interiors. A solid gray tile floor complements the wallpaper and runs throughout the bathroom, allowing the heavily veined marble sink vanity to shine.

Gray Wall Paint

Soft gray wall paint creates a calming backdrop for this romantic bathroom from Mary Patton Design.

The gray paint draws attention to the form of the vintage-style white pedestal sink. A white shower curtain with gray detailing, silver-toned fixtures, and a crystal chandelier enhance the retro feel.

Minimalist Zen Bathroom

Mix multiple soft shades of white and gray to add variation to a spacious bathroom while maintaining a minimalist feel. This soothing space from Cathie Hong Interiors includes a mix of terrazzo tile in shades of gray with slim gray tiles stacked vertically. Off-white walls, a bright white bathtub, and gold-toned accents complete the harmonious spa-like atmosphere.

Vintage Bathroom Accents

Decorate a gray-and-white powder room with patterned wallpaper, gray wall trim, and white cafe curtains edged in gray for a vintage-inspired space. Erin Williamson Design hung an asymmetrical wood-framed mirror and retro-style pendant light to add even more character to the small room.

Geometric Shower Tile

Choose a geometric wall tile with subtle variations of gray and white that will keep your gray-and-white bathroom from feeling too on the nose.

Cathie Hong Interiors wrapped three walls of this spacious shower with geometric wall tiles in a randomized pattern that adds movement and soft watercolor-like hues to the modern bathroom.

White, Gray, and Pink

Energize a gray-and-white bathroom with hints of pink. This space from Mary Patton Design has decorative gray wallpaper with an illustrated scene that includes white swans and pink lily pads. A vintage-style beveled mirror and silver wall sconces complement the gray marble countertop on the white-painted wood vanity.

Gray Accent Wall Tiles

Define a large walk-in shower with an accent wall of skinny vertical gray tiles like this spacious bathroom from Cathie Hong Interiors. Use the same tiles on the shower niche and backsplash for a cohesive look that complements the off-white ceilings and large-format floor tiles.

Hints of Gray and White

Hints of gray on tiles and stone countertops will add personality to a mostly white bathroom. This traditional space from Louis Duncan-He Designs is decorated with soft white walls and matching trim, a white marble subway tile backsplash with grey veining, and gray-and-white hex floor tiles.

Dark Gray and White

Try a slightly softer take on black and white with a darker gray-and-white bathroom color scheme, like this airy space from Michelle Berwick Design with its white walls and charcoal herringbone floor tiles that almost read as black.

Gray Shower Bench

Decorate a small walk-in shower in gray and white for a clean, minimalist look. Louis Duncan-He Designs chose two styles of white tile to add texture, then added a slate gray built-in bench for contrast.

Taupe and White

Mix in shades of taupe to add depth to a gray-and-white bathroom. Desiree Burns Interiors decorated this powder room with pale grayish-white walls, a white quartz-topped sink vanity painted taupe, and patterned floor tiles in shades of light and dark gray on a white background to tie it all together.

Classic Gray-and-White

Renovate a period bathroom using classic finishes in shades of gray and white for a timeless feel.

Erin Williamson Design updated this vintage bungalow bathroom with pale gray-and-white penny tiles, white subway tiles, pale gray wall paint, a silver-framed mirror and wall sconces, and a retro sink with silver fixtures.
