Help with colour for my shower

5 years ago

Hello, I'm about to create a shower cubicle very similar to this. The only difference is I have bought a traditional exposed valve shower. I had ordered a grey shower tray from JT but it's proving a devil to get delivered. I decided that a white tray would just not look right with the same grey tiles as you see in the pic. It would however save me a good £200 if I just picked up a white one. The size is 800mm by 1200mm with a 40mm profile. What do you think? Will a bright white tray go with dark grey walls?

Hello Susienew,

A slate coloured tray would be lovely... Or having a wet room style with tiled flooring and walls... like the above tile on the right of the image, which would be good on the floor..... : ))

You cant go wrong with white, as it will technically match anything, however grey trays do look very stylish, and with a dark feature wall it could look fantastic. We do not actively sell JT Trays, we prefer other manufacturers, one of the best grey trays at the moment would be the Merlyn truestone in fossil grey.

Thank you Daman. I'm not so sure about a white tray. In my mind it doesn't work. I have another issue and that is that the drain needs to be at the edge because of the positioning of my joists and hence the waste. I agree that grey can look amazing, hence the difficulty!

Try a wall mounted sink basin and a toilet that doesn't have an elongated bowl. These will save space.

(A) painting an alcove a particular colour that pleases you. (B) Having the Island section a different colour. (C) A decorative blind adds a spark. I am not specifying 'the colour' or 'the fabric design', they are just ideas to assist. (D) Imagine using an idea like this as a splash-back, it acts as a work of art - there are many interresting tile ideas.

Hi Yolanda - I'd change the stools, table and chairs, and swap the pendants for something in coloured glass or (personally) metallic, and change the cabinet handles from steel to brass/gold. Instant lift. Splashback-wise, try distressed mirror (suitably tempered and toughened) as it has loads of personality, bounces light around and is easy to clean. Then play with wall colour. Warm accents will stop the wood door from jarring so much (or paint it, if you can convince your husband). You have a lovely kitchen - will take very little to get it where you want!

The metal flowers in the corner is actually a tall floor lamp that looks pretty in the evening. I have a large silver mirror in the centre of the wall, that would look nice in black too. Thanks for your suggestions!

We were going to go with a grey tray to match in with dark grey walls & grey floor but ended up having white. The white tray is a great contrast to the grey & sets it off really well. It looks clean & fresh. But if you did go with white would you always be thinking 'what if?' - guess it also depends on how long you can wait to get a grey one sorted.

A classic white tray could look fresh in contrast - and remember grey decor will inevitably, go out of fashion - maybe sooner, rather than later!

Grey is such a classy colour; you had this idea and it was your first instinct and wish; follow your heart.
