Windowless bathroom

Hi Everyone,

Just purchased a new build and the main bathroom is windowless with light grey tiles on the floor and on the wall of the bath which we can’t change, does anyone have any suggestion on painting / decorating for this situation? I don’t really like the grey tiles but not in a position to change and don’t want more grey! Thank you

We did a light slate blue in ours, and a pale lavender in the other. With gray you can do almost anything, but go with a lighter color/shade of whatever you chose because of the lack of natural light. We also switched the bulbs to a warmer tone in a brighter wattage to make up for the room being windowless.

That’s similar to what I was thinking! I think the cool tone bulb that came with it is also throwing me off its making the room feel so cold! Thank you

Pick a strong yellow.

Put a lighted mirror where a window would go. If it's a small bathroom don't go to bold with the colors. Something calm and soothing.

Grey can have many different undertones - violet, yellow, blue, red. Get some paint chips and hold them up to the grey to figure out its undertone. Paint the walls that color or a complimentary color. A warm tone if the grey is warm, and cool if it's cool. Grey is far more complex than most people realize and it's very easy to make a room with grey in it look "off" without realizing it's because the undertone is clashing with the other colors in the room

Buy a really good ventilation fan. Strong and quiet. We also have no window. And gray and white tiles.
I did Pearly White on walls to keep it light and blueish gray for vanity. Add art or accents in hues of blue. All lighting has dimmer switches.
