Grey natural stone and walnut finishes in the modern bathroom
The beautiful natural grey stone used on the walls and floor of the modern bathroom matches the overall aesthetic of the apartment in a nice way. The glass shower door and the chrome fittings add a nice variety to the material palette.
The storage cabinet and vanity are made out of walnut wood, which pairs nicely with the grey stone and chrome fittings.
