Wonderful Elegant Grey Bathroom Ideas

For most of us, grey is considered to be a neutral tone, bland, mundane, unusual.Yet when allowed to shine in different intensities and matched with coppery and gold accents the grey transforms, becoming an elegant, complex hue which, if used properly in interior design, will add an unique cozy yet modern and luxurious appeal. Today we are reflecting upon grey bathroom ideas, an association meant to replace and offer an alternative to the all white classical idea we are all used to.

grey hues for the walls

The base is the foundation of any interior design, setting the mood, capturing and reflecting light, imposing a direction and a standard.Grey paints come in multiple hues and tones, from cold, rigid ones to warmer shades that add a discreet coziness to the atmosphere. Choose the tone according to the natural light induced in the room, a darker hue will have a bolder contrast but will capture and aborbe more light that a fine delicate grey owl hue. Think carefully and try out samples on the walls before making a decision.
