Modern Neutral Bathrooms
Neutral bathrooms have been the style for some time now, and we don’t see that changing anytime soon. A neutral bathroom is better for resale. You can add pops of color through wall color, towels, or decor. These items can be easily and inexpensively updated to evolve with the latest color trends.
Here we’ve gathered a bunch of neutral bathroom remodeling projects we’ve completed. We hope these bathrooms in a neutral color palatte will provide ideas and inspiration.
Black and White Bathrooms
This is a classic look that is back in style. We’ve designed black and white bathrooms with a vintage look with pedestal sinks and claw-foot tubs. Designers can also give black and white bathrooms a modern look with crisp lines and sleek finishes. However, in our northern New Jersey service area, we tend to get customers looking for a design somewhere in between.
White and Grey Bathrooms
This is a contemporary twist on the classic black and white bathroom. We’ve designed many bathrooms with bright white tile with accents of dark grey or a blend of grey and black. Any wall color will look good with this color combination. Brightly colored accents and decor can be used. For a modern look, forget the decor and keep all surfaces free and clear.
Gray Bathrooms
The most popular color palette for bathrooms is gray. A mix of white and gray tends to be most popular, with wood vanities and wood-look tile flooring used to warm up the space.
A simple 4×16 gray subway tile is installed in the shower and tub surround. We added a wide, vertical accent of glass mosaic tile to the back of the shower. This provides and interesting focal point. Large format marble look tile provides a classic, timeless look for the bathroom floor.
The same grey tile was installed throughout this shower. However, we installed a smaller tile in the top third of the shower. Monk’s put in standard square shaped tile to the lower two thirds of the shower. Mixing up the size and shape of the same tile adds interest while keeping things neutral and constant.
Another way to add the appearance of natural materials in the bathroom is by installing wood-look tiles. Faux wood tiles are most often used as floor tile. They come in a range of colors and textures. The floor tiles provide a nice contrast to the cooler tones in the stone shower.
A Feminine Gray Bathroom
This large master bathroom has the benefit of having three large windows to provide natural light and a lovely view. We positioned a modern free-standing tub near these windows. We added decadent wainscoting to the walls. The large shower was given a modified shape to maximize the size without interfering with the flow.
Using Beige and Browns in the Neutral Bathroom
Though not as popular, designers can incorporate beiges and browns to create a modern neutral bathroom. Here are some ideas for using browns and beiges in your bathroom remodel.
