The inspiring version of gray in gray

Most people think of gray as a mixture of black and white. But in fact, artists mix their grays from complementary colors. Combinations of red and green or blue and orange provide vibrant grays with a depth that is as appealing as it is warm.

Decided on this design? These elements will play a decisive role in your look:

  • Sink and bath tub
  • Matching furniture 
  • Gray as dominant color

Sink and bath tub in concrete look

Concrete is a flexible material that you can have molded to your exact wishes: You can have your architect design a sink and a bath tub exactly to your specifications. Specialized manufacturers then make these designs a reality. The design develops an immediate presence that conveys clear objectivity and, thus, tranquility. 

In addition, leading manufacturers offer modern sanitation objects made of this building material. However, they are very heavy and may overstrain the room statics. For this reason, it is also possible to buy sinks and bath tubs separately. 

Matching furniture 

You can go for either contrast or tone-on-tone when it comes to furnishings. Exposed concrete appears in a variety of gray shades. From a distance, they present a uniform hue that reveals only its dynamism upon closer inspection. Brushed stainless steel perfectly complements the look, as brushing creates a deep yet uniform surface. 

On the other hand, gray blends perfectly with every other color, letting you create a visual exclamation point with one or more furniture pieces in your favorite color. The surprise effect of bright colors on a gray background requires some courage, but can be a great breath of fresh air.

Gray as dominant color

We associate the saying ‘gray and drab’ with gloomy, rainy days. Yet shades of gray can gently fascinate the mind. With gray as the dominant color, you can express the stimulating tension of storm clouds, as well as the calming mood of twilight.

Gray's effect depends on the context: Combined with red and dark tones, you can create a dramatic effect. Together with white, light shades of gray and pastel colors bring the gentle phases of a sunrise or sunset into your bathroom. A combination with wood emphasizes the connection with nature.

A perfect duo: High-tech gloss on a natural surface

Modern bathroom faucets put in a memorable appearance against elegantly rustic finishes. Natural, often irregular materials for the wall and floor set the stage for linear and geometric design and underscore the value of these items of jewelry for the bathroom. Minimalist design with precise edges enters into an intriguing dialog with hand-crafted finishes and those with conscious traces of use. The high-contrast look, conveying differences of feel at the same time, appeals not least to individualists. Combining made easy: Ranges for a comprehensive solution create an unfussy design in the bathroom. Because the faucets and showers speak the same design language, they contribute to a harmonious overall picture.

The perfect building material for an impressive design

Concrete is a building material that comes from nature. It consists largely of sand and pebbles. These elements determine the material’s appearance, which can vary greatly depending on the composition. 

A small amount of cement and water combine these stony elements into a mass that can be poured into any mold. Cement sees limestone, clay, and sometimes quartz sand heated to 1,450 degrees Celsius. The resulting powder reacts with water and hardens. 

Design coupled with craftsmanship

Skillful design and craftsmanship make it a building material that embodies timeless elegance and luxury. The reason: The processing of the surface really sets off the look. Grinding or sandblasting can greatly alter the appearance of the material. Stocking can give the hardened concrete a special character. In this technique used by stonemasons, special stock hammers can be used to create a matte surface with a striking structure. 

Excellent properties as a building material

Concrete is ideal, a durable material that can be used in so many ways. The robust building material protects against moisture and insulates heat and noise. In the bathroom, the pores of the surface are polished and sealed, making it dirt-resistant. Depending on the processing, it can also resemble natural marble. 

However, it is very heavy and is therefore only suitable in statically robust properties. This means that using real concrete in old buildings can pose a problem. In this case, building materials with a concrete look, like ceramic tiles, mineral plasters, and even wallpaper are a suitable alternative. So-called ‘beton ciré,’ or polished concrete, a filler made of synthetic resin, sand, and cement, can also replace the real thing.

Renaissance in the 19th century

Even the ancient Romans knew the advantages of concrete. They used the building material, which they called “opus caementitium,” for aqueducts, bridges, and port buildings. Concrete faded into obscurity with the fall of the Roman Empire, but experienced a 19-century renaissance that began in England when two masons on the Isle of Portland burned cement in 1824. Within a few decades, the ‘gray gold’ had conquered the modern world. 

Exposed concrete and exposed screed in the bathroom: Strong effect from the ground up

For some it’s just a building material, for others a symbol of timeless elegance: exposed concrete, sometimes also called exposed screed, is an underestimated design element in bathrooms that has been going through a renaissance for some time now. In a modern mix of styles, we are getting to know and love this versatile building material anew: In the beton ciré bathroom, for example, smooth, highly polished surfaces become a haptic experience of a special kind. But exposed concrete in the bathroom can also be rough, colorful, and structured.

The material is predestined to provide clean lines and optimal hygiene in the bathroom. In new buildings, exposed concrete can be poured directly. Alternatively, you can apply exposed screed to the existing substrate or install it as a dry screed in the bathroom to achieve the desired effect. 

In our lookbook, we present modern interpretations of the classic building material and show how versatile exposed concrete can be as a design element.
