Bathroom (Modern)
A compact apartment bathroom finished with large greige porcelain tiles across the walls and floor. White fixtures, a mirror cabinet, soft under-lighting, and a muted clay vanity front add warmth without breaking the clean tone.

Reproduction core
Keep these points in mind when recreating a similar mood.
- Match the walls and floor in the same greige porcelain tile family so the small bathroom reads as one calm volume.
- Divide the shower with clear glass rather than a wall, keeping the wet zone defined while the view stays open.
- Place the only color accent on the dusty clay vanity front to warm up the space between white fixtures and greige tile.
- Add low indirect light under the mirror so the vanity area is bright without glare and the tile texture stays soft.
- Keep the toilet, basin, towel, and faucet in white and chrome so the clay vanity and tile plane stay visually clean.
Apply it at home
You can also review the conditions to check in your own space and the materials that shape this look.
