Sinks - Grey

Grey sinks feel modern without being overly bold, and they pair beautifully with both light and dark benchtops, cabinetry, and hardware. Strong, practical, and stylish, grey sinks are a smart choice for those looking to make a design statement that feels both timeless and on-trend.

How to choose the right grey sink

A grey sink can subtly elevate the look of your kitchen or bathroom—but choosing the right one involves more than just picking a shade. Here are some key things to consider:

• Material: Grey sinks come in a variety of materials, from granite composite and stainless steel with grey coatings to ceramic and resin. Granite composite is especially popular for its strength, scratch resistance, and matte texture.

• Tone and finish: Light grey offers a soft, airy feel, while dark grey or charcoal adds bold contrast. Choose a finish—matte or glossy—that complements your benchtop and cabinetry.

• Mounting style: Decide whether you prefer an undermount sink for a seamless look, a drop-in design for easy installation, or a farmhouse-style sink for something more classic and eye-catching.

• Size and bowl configuration: Consider how you use your sink daily. A single, deep bowl is great for large items, while a double-bowl layout offers more flexibility for multitasking in the kitchen or bathroom.

• Overall design aesthetic: Match the sink style to your room’s vibe. Pair a sleek, grey sink with black or brushed steel tapware for a modern finish, or with wood textures for a warmer, natural look.

Choosing a grey sink is all about balancing functionality with aesthetics. When thoughtfully selected, it can serve as both a practical fixture and a subtle design statement.

8 tips for decorating a beautiful bathroom

Creating a beautiful bathroom is all about the details—from functional choices like sinks and lighting to softer touches like plants and textiles. Whether you're giving your space a complete makeover or just refreshing a few elements, here are eight tips to help you design a stylish and welcoming bathroom:

• Choose a grey sink: A grey sink adds elegance and versatility to your bathroom. It works beautifully with a wide range of colour palettes and materials, whether you're going for a modern, rustic, or minimalistic style. Pair it with matching or contrasting tapware to complete the look.

• Use soft bathroom mats: A plush mat adds comfort underfoot and brings warmth to tiled floors. Choose neutral tones for a calm feel or go for bold colour or pattern if you want a pop of personality. Consider a matching runner to tie the space together and add extra softness.

• Incorporate the right lighting: Good lighting is key in any bathroom. Use layered lighting with a mix of ceiling lights, vanity lights, and wall sconces. Soft, warm lighting adds a spa-like atmosphere, while task lighting around the mirror ensures clarity when needed. Dimmers can help adjust the mood at different times of day.

• Add a stylish mirror: A mirror is both functional and decorative. Opt for a round mirror for a modern feel, or go for a framed option that matches your cabinetry or fixtures. A well-placed mirror can also help make the room feel more spacious.

• Bring in plants: Greenery adds life and freshness to your bathroom. Choose plants that thrive in humidity, like ferns, pothos, or peace lilies. Place them on shelves, windowsills, or even hanging from the ceiling. Grouping plants together can create a lush, spa-like corner.

• Keep storage beautiful: Use baskets, trays, or open shelves to store towels, toiletries, and everyday items in a tidy and visually pleasing way. Opt for natural materials like wood or rattan to add warmth and texture.

• Play with colour and texture: Mix tiles, paint, and accessories to add interest without overwhelming the space. Stick to a cohesive palette and add texture through textiles, matte surfaces, or patterned tiles. A feature wall of tile or wallpaper can add depth and character.

• Don’t forget the details: Add finishing touches like scented candles, soap dispensers, or a piece of art. These small details make the space feel personal and inviting. A tray on the vanity or a small stool with stacked towels adds functionality and charm.

With the right mix of practical elements and decorative accents, your bathroom can feel like a calming, stylish retreat you’ll love spending time in.
