Grey does not have to set the character of every surface. In our Broomhill, Aberdeen bathroom, grey metro tiles surround the shower and lower walls, while wood-effect vinyl introduces a different colour and pattern beneath the fittings. Basin cupboards and a tall towel radiator complete the practical arrangement.
When comparing a similar pairing, consider the timber floor tone directly alongside the grey tile colour. Look for a timber tone that you enjoy beside it, rather than choosing each from separate displays. Review their undertones together with the other large surfaces in the room. Then add the furniture finish to the comparison. This makes it easier to judge the room as a place for ordinary washing and getting ready, where several substantial surfaces will always be seen together.
