The New Neutral: Elevate Your Bathroom with Matte Grey Sanitaryware

Move beyond white with our collection of modern colored sanitaryware. Discover how a matte grey freestanding tub, vessel sink, and toilet can create a serene, sophisticated, and perfectly monochromatic bathroom sanctuary.

This image depicts a stunningly serene and minimalist modern bathroom, designed with a sophisticated monochromatic grey palette and masterful use of ambient lighting. The space is enveloped in large-format, medium-grey tiles with a subtle concrete or stone texture, creating a seamless and calming, cave-like sanctuary.

The primary focal point is a beautiful freestanding bathtub in a soft, matte, light grey or “greige” color. Its deep, elegant oval shape exudes modern comfort. The tub is elevated on a tiled platform, which is underlit with a hidden LED strip, giving it a magical, floating appearance.

To the right, a matching light grey vessel sink sits atop a simple, dark cylindrical pedestal, creating a sculptural vanity station. The suite of fixtures, including a tall floor-mounted tub filler and a vessel sink faucet, are all in a sleek, contrasting matte black finish. A modern, wall-hung toilet in the same soft grey color as the tub and sink completes the cohesive, high-end look.

The lighting is the key to the room’s atmosphere. Soft, warm, indirect light from the ceiling cove and the illuminated platform creates a tranquil, spa-like glow, while a cluster of real candles adds an organic, flickering warmth. The overall impression is one of profound calm, understated luxury, and impeccable, cohesive design.

For decades, bright white has been the undisputed default for bathroom fixtures. But a new, more sophisticated neutral has emerged, offering unparalleled depth, warmth, and a serene, designer feel. Matte grey and greige sanitaryware is the secret to creating a truly modern, monochromatic sanctuary—a space that feels both cohesive and deeply calming.

The centerpiece of this aesthetic is a stunning freestanding soaking tub. When finished in a soft, velvety matte grey, it makes a statement that is powerful yet gentle. Unlike stark white, the warm grey tone feels more organic and less clinical, pairing beautifully with concrete-look tiles and other natural textures. Its deep, ergonomic oval shape invites long, peaceful soaks, transforming your bathroom into a personal spa.

The key to a truly high-end monochromatic look is a commitment to cohesion. Elevate the design by pairing your grey bathtub with a matching vessel sink and even a wall-hung toilet in the same soft, matte finish. This curated, suite-like approach creates a seamless, harmonious environment where every element feels intentional and perfectly balanced. To bring this serene grey space to life, use layered, indirect lighting. Integrated LED strips under a raised tub platform or along the ceiling create a soft, ambient glow that highlights the gentle curves of the fixtures. Finally, add a touch of sharp, modern contrast with a full suite of matte black faucets and hardware to ground the design with graphic definition.

The Art of Illumination: Creating a Statement Bathroom with a Modern Chandelier & Freestanding Tub

Transform your bathroom into a five-star retreat with a breathtaking statement chandelier. Discover how a modern, sculptural ring chandelier paired with a deep, freestanding soaking tub creates the ultimate in luxury and glamour.

This image showcases an exceptionally luxurious and dramatic contemporary bathroom, exuding the ambiance of a five-star hotel suite. The design is a masterful composition of rich textures, sophisticated lighting, and bold material choices. The absolute centerpiece of the room is a magnificent, large, modern ring chandelier. It features a dark metal halo frame adorned with sculptural, irregular chunks of illuminated glass or rock crystal, which glow warmly from within and cast a glamorous, multi-faceted light.

This stunning light fixture hangs directly above a large, elegant, freestanding soaking tub. The tub’s simple, deep, oval shape and soft white, matte finish provide a calm, organic counterpoint to the drama above. It is set against a low ledger wall or backsplash made of a striking, brecciated marble, likely Calacatta Viola, with a white base and dramatic, deep purple and burgundy veining.

The main wall behind this is clad in fine, vertically fluted wood paneling in a warm, dark taupe color, adding a beautiful sense of texture, rhythm, and height. This central arrangement is flanked by two tall, dark wood and glass display cabinets with integrated lighting, enhancing the room’s symmetry and sophisticated feel. The flooring is a light, neutral-toned large-format tile, and a plush dark rug adds a final touch of comfort. The overall impression is one of opulent, curated, and unforgettable modern glamour.

In today’s luxury design, bathroom lighting has transcended mere function. It has become the crowning jewel of the space—a magnificent, sculptural centerpiece that defines the room’s character and creates an unforgettable, five-star ambiance. The key to achieving this new level of glamour is the fearless use of a statement chandelier as the central work of art.

Imagine a grand, modern ring chandelier suspended above your bathtub like a luminous halo. Our designs feature hand-formed elements of sculptural glass or natural rock crystal, each piece unique and engineered to diffuse light in the most beautiful way. When illuminated, these elements glow from within, casting a warm, sparkling, and multi-faceted light across the room that is both dramatically impressive and deeply romantic. It transforms the act of bathing into a truly cinematic experience.

Such a spectacular lighting fixture deserves an equally luxurious foundation. A large, deep, freestanding soaking tub is the epitome of spa-like indulgence. Its simple, elegant oval shape provides a soft, organic counterpoint to the chandelier’s modern form, creating the perfect destination for relaxation directly beneath the stunning canopy of light. To build a complete, hotel-worthy sanctuary around these two pieces, layer in rich textures. A feature wall of fine, vertically fluted paneling adds warmth and rhythm, while a low backsplash of a dramatic, richly-veined marble adds a touch of classic opulence. This combination of sculptural light, simple forms, and rich textures is the secret to creating a bathroom that feels both impossibly glamorous and deeply restorative.

The Urban Jungle: How to Create a Rustic Industrial Bathroom Sanctuary

Escape into a nature-inspired retreat. Discover how a reclaimed wood slab vanity and a matte black vessel sink can create a stunning rustic industrial bathroom, rich with texture, character, and biophilic design.

This image captures a deeply atmospheric and textural bathroom that masterfully blends rustic, industrial, and biophilic (nature-loving) design elements. The space feels like a moody, hidden sanctuary, enveloped in walls with a distressed, weathered concrete or aged plaster finish, which gives them a rich, wabi-sabi character.

The centerpiece of the vanity area is a stunning, thick slab of reclaimed, rustic wood serving as a floating countertop. Its surface is rich with natural knots, a deep grain, and an imperfect, raw edge that tells a story. On this warm, organic base sits a simple yet elegant, round vessel sink in a matte charcoal or dark grey finish. Its smooth, stone-like appearance provides a beautiful contrast to the rugged wood.

The space is brought to life by an abundance of lush greenery. Hanging plants in macrame holders and potted ferns cascade around the vanity, creating an “urban jungle” feel and softening the industrial edges. A simple, round mirror with a thin black frame hangs on the wall, reflecting the room’s textures. Lighting is intimate and moody, provided by a vintage-style industrial pendant light and a focused spotlight. A black, ladder-style heated towel rail and matte black wall-mounted faucet complete the cohesive, rustic-industrial aesthetic. The overall impression is one of a warm, authentic, and serene retreat that celebrates the beauty of natural and imperfect materials.

In a world of mass-produced perfection, there’s a powerful desire for spaces that feel real, grounded, and deeply connected to the natural world. The rustic industrial aesthetic answers this call, creating a sanctuary that celebrates the raw beauty of authentic materials and the story of handcrafted imperfections. This is a style that creates not just a room, but an experience.

The heart of this look is a vanity that has a soul. Move beyond standard cabinets and embrace the unparalleled character of a solid, reclaimed wood slab countertop. Each piece is entirely unique, with its own history written in the natural knots, rich grain, and organic “live edge.” It brings an incredible warmth and tactile texture to the space, serving as a powerful, grounding anchor for your design.

To balance the rustic warmth of the wood, pair it with the simple, contemporary form of a vessel sink. A round bowl in a deep, matte black or charcoal grey provides the perfect modern contrast. Its smooth, stone-like finish feels both elemental and sophisticated, complementing the raw texture of the wood and the industrial feel of the space. The final, essential layer for creating this “urban jungle” retreat is biophilic design. Fill the space with an abundance of lush green plants. Hanging ferns, potted plants, and trailing vines soften the hard surfaces, purify the air, and create a serene, sanctuary-like atmosphere. It’s about blurring the line between indoors and out, and creating a bathroom that is both ruggedly handsome and peacefully restorative.
