Gray Tile Bathroom With Monochromatic Walls
Neutral spaces are all the rage these days, which is why similarly neutral paints work well with gray tile.
1. Gray Tile With Soft White Walls
Pick a beautiful shade of just off-white to go with your grey tile. A good pro tip is to buy several samples and paint poster board squares. Hold them up with the flooring and the room’s lighting to see how they look. Whites can change colors when paired in different ways, and this can help you pick the perfect shade.
2. Pick A Cool-Toned White For Charcoal Gray Walls
Gray is usually on the cool end of the color spectrum. If you have a bathroom without natural light, consider picking an equally cool-toned white to pair with your tile.
