The pairing between grey and yellow can also be suitable for building an industrial-style bathroom. However, we want to say something that can make everything even more stunning. It is none other but the addition of black hue in the design.

The industrial bathroom that you can see above is a really good example. As you can see, the grey colors from the tiled shower walls and vanity backsplash dominated the room.

Connected directly to the wall, a custom floating flat panel yellow cabinets function as the main attention-stealer in this interior design. We love how it looks so good being paired with the medium tone countertop, which looks compatible with the medium tone wood floor with an oil finish.

The detail that significantly strengthens the industrial feel in the bathroom is the black color that comes in some items, including the dark anodized aluminum and tempered glass shower room closure, which door is made by American Shower Door. There is also a pair of black-framed wall mirrors by Restoration Hardware for another black detail.

When designing an industrial bathroom, the thing you should not forget is the small details showing the characteristic of the style. The examples that you can see in this photo are the exposed light cable and also pipes.

This next idea is quite the same as the one that we just talked about. It is about mixing grey, yellow, and white color to create an interesting visual in the bathroom.

Here, we want to go more specific. The reason is that the element we talk about here is none other but bathroom backsplash.

You can use the color combination, not only on the floor. Using it for the backsplash can also be an excellent idea. The multi-color visual creates an interesting point in the bathroom interior.

The photo that we found shows you a very good example. The Brio Glass Mosaic tile in City Sunshine Blend by Modwalls is undeniably interesting here. It gives a refreshing touch to the neutral-color vanity.

The way to do it is also various. As an example, you can see the photo above. It shows an image of a floating vanity cabinet with yellow color from Benjamin Moore Fiesta Yellow 341.

This bathroom furniture successfully gives a color shot to the interior because it has a grey glass subway tile as the background. The visual effect is even better because the backsplash color is rather dark.

Besides using a vanity cabinet, you can add a yellow color shot in a grey bathroom using different items. The sure thing that you must remember is that the size of the item you choose should be big and significant.

So, yes, this idea is not effective when you execute it by using small items, like decorations. It will be best to use something big like a vanity, cabinet, or tub that can steal attention.
