Gray subway tiles in shower

[Anonymous]

Slate bathroom floor, white hexagon with dark grout shower floor, wood vanity and black hardware. We planned on vertical 4x12 white subway tile with dark grout on the shower walls but then I saw a very light gray today and like it cause I was feeling everything was too white. Thoughts? Thanks!

Updating a late 90s builder grade townhouse in the burbs so no interesting architectural features except 9’ ceilings. Living here now but want to sell in a year or two.

We just did a new bathroom with warmer light gray subway tiles on the shower walls and penny tile on the floor. I love it!

Can you post a pic? I’m struggling to find any good examples online.

I think a lighter gray will work.

Maybe your eyes were trying to tell you something and your brain is relieved you changed the color of your tile.

Only if you sell in a year or two. People are getting tired of all the gray.

You've provided zero pictures so sure.

Noooooo don't do it. We did budget surface reno of our bathroom because we are getting ready to sell in the next year or so and I went with a gray subway in the shower and a pale blue penny on the floor. This was being driven by the granite remnant we used, not by my personal taste, FWIW. It was one of my bigger f-ups - I feel like I am showering in a prison cell. If I had to do over I 100% would have done white with a darker grout.

Keep the white.

Nope, that's the designers trying to make your renovate as gray is neutral and timeless.

Agree with this up to a point. However, vertical stacked subway as OP describes is neither, and it is even less so in gray.

It’s not from designers, it’s a pretty simple gut reaction after traipsing through enough houses on the market today.

You sound young. Trends come and go. In ten years gray wi.temind everyone of the past 4-5 years, which most people will want to forget. Designers brought in the gray trend and they will take it out.

But no one likes feeling like they are showering in a prison, like the other pp points out.

What about something like this, subway with texture?

Also there will be someone younger and when they buy the house they won’t be smitten with the tastes of someone ten years older. It happens like clockwork.
