When we’re designing a bathroom, the first colors that come to mind are usually white tiles, black tiles, or black and white bathrooms, where we use the contrast of these two. However, sometimes we feel the need to include accent colors and vibrant colors as well. But what about another color option that works well with all other colors? That’s where gray marble tiles come into play.
This month, whether you’re renovating a large or small bathroom, consider using gray bathroom tiles to create a unique and more stylish design than the options you’ve always sought. With cool or warm undertones, we have all kinds of gray tiles to satisfy your tastes. Let’s take a look at a few different gray marble options for your bathroom walls or shower floors!
I personally believe gray is a color that’s both classic and beautiful, yet difficult to pull off. So, what would we achieve if we combined this noble color with another equally noble design? Let me tell you, this would only be possible with a gray herringbone backsplash. With the Silver Drop Marble Tile Collection‘s unique dark gray tone palette and subtle herringbone design, your bathroom will be as elegant as a first-class hotel bathroom.
We’re back with another striking marble mosaic tile from Silver Drop. With its small marble squares, you can use this tile option specifically behind a bathtub, cover an entire wall with these tiles, or create a bathroom design entirely covered in mosaic tiles. This will create a bathroom interior that’s detailed yet equally beautiful. Don’t worry about the installation! While mosaic tiles can be a bit of a pain to install, these tiles can quickly become a part of your bathroom.
Wouldn’t you love a pattern as complex and captivating as the honeycomb that nature bestows upon us to be featured in a natural space like your bathroom? This piece comes from the best-selling Avalance Honed Marble Tile Collection, a collaboration with nature. Featuring cool, light shades of gray, these hexagon marble tiles can be used as a backsplash or, for a striking feature, in a shower niche.
Speaking of nature, let’s take a look at a design that looks almost like a pebble shower, but isn’t. This marble mosaic bathroom wall, which looks like many different types of pebbles, can make your bathroom look like a piece of South East Asian magic. Combine it with larger, colorful stones, massage oils, and dark wood bathroom vanities to create a small, personal spa area in your home.
Of course, your bathroom tiles aren’t just about the backsplash. Imagine using marble mosaics on your shower walls? When you choose a design that showcases the natural marble’s many different color variations and veining in each mosaic piece, every shower will feel like a witness to nature. Verona, a perfect match for silver-toned bathroom details or black, will also reflect light in the bathroom with its polished finish, creating the impression of a precious stone in your shower.
Let’s take things a little bigger. A classic, timeless, and never-to-be-missed design, marble subway tiles are a must-have. A vertical stacked layout can make your low-ceiling shower appear taller, while a horizontal layout can lengthen the space, all without sacrificing elegance with a noble color like gray. Tip: Pair it with white subway tiles to create a duotone bathroom wall tile design for a truly unique design.
We’ve already said “pass” for white and black bathrooms, but we haven’t yet discussed white and gray bathroom tiles. Did you know that combining the pure, clean feel of white with the balancing effect of gray can create a truly modern bathroom design? I highly recommend choosing a vertical marble backsplash bathroom, which will give you the full effect of both gray and white.
Marble’s largest dimensions are the design that makes a bathroom appear completely boundless and spatial: large format marble tiles. These marble designs, known as 12×12 marble tiles and larger, are suitable for both wall and floor tiles. Using a large format tile, especially in transitional tones like gray, throughout your entire bathroom allows you to closely follow many trends, such as the 2026 tile trends, and try tricks like making your small bathroom appear larger.
Oops, we said gray marble tiles, right? But all these designs aren’t limited to tiles. What if we told you that you could easily use marble slabs in your bathroom? You can achieve a seamless look by using slabs throughout your shower walls, or you can create a truly hotel-like bathroom design by incorporating slabs throughout your entire bathroom. This option also allows you to simplify maintenance of your bathroom walls! By choosing a finish like polished, you’ll be making a more durable choice, even though marble is porous and retains its shine.
