Industrial Bathroom Ideas

Whether you’re planning a complete bathroom renovation or want to make a few budget-friendly changes to your existing design, these are some of the best ways to incorporate industrial features.

While grey is typically associated with industrial interiors, neutral shades like black, white, beige or brown work well. Whatever colour scheme you prefer, we recommend contrasting light and dark for a tonal look, preventing the space from looking dingy. Industrial lighting and brushed metal accents will brighten the room, bringing depth and texture to your design.

Metro tiles are a more subtle way to embrace the industrial design trend. White metro tiles with dark grey grout are popular in industrial bathrooms, creating contrast between light and dark shades. 

Like with exposed brick, use this statement tiling in moderation for the best effect. We recommend tiling one wall in your shower enclosure, behind your bathtub, or as a sink splashback. You can lay metro tiles vertically or horizontally for a clean, uniform appearance. Not sure where to begin? Explore our handy guide to tiling your bathroom.

Clean lines and minimalist décor characterise industrial interiors, so limit your bathroom accessories and soft furnishings to prevent the room from feeling cluttered. This is crucial in small bathrooms; clever storage solutions can help you save space and achieve a clean look.

If you love the industrial aesthetic but don’t want your bathroom to feel cold, we recommend adding some wooden accents to your space. Wood contrasts materials like metal, stone and glass, adding warmth and texture. Discover our top wooden bathroom design ideas, from reclaimed wood shelves to upcycled wood cabinets.

Vinyl flooring is a durable and cost-effective choice in bathrooms and comes in various designs. It is one of the most waterproof options and is easy to clean. Concrete or marble-effect vinyl is perfect for industrial bathrooms, mimicking the natural materials synonymous with this style.

Frameless shower enclosures are sleek and modern, making them ideal for industrial bathrooms. They can also bring more light into your space. The Mira Ascend range is our best-selling frameless design, featuring hinged and sliding shower doors, wet room shower screens and quadrant enclosures.
