15 Anthracite Bathroom Ideas to Inspire You

Dark, elegant and bold: our anthracite bathroom ideas will help you level up the sophistication in your new bathroom.

This dark grey colour with a blue undertone was named after a glossy variety of coal, and while you might not expect a low-key tone like anthracite to be the star in your decor, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Just one or two anthracite items can add some dramatic contrast to your bathroom’s look, or, if you want to take the grey tones even further, an entirely anthracite aesthetic can make for a beautifully sophisticated bathroom.

1. Milan Heated Towel Rail

Whether you need a statement piece that will immediately draw your eye against a light-tiled wall or an extra piece of refined beauty for a dark grey bathroom aesthetic, the Milan Heated Tower Rail could be the perfect fit. It has a simple but practical design, and would complement a matt black or dark grey bathtub well.

2. Venice Fluted Wall Hung Vanity

Along with its sleek anthracite colouring, what really sets this vanity apart is the fluted front of its drawer, which provides a unique focal point for any bathroom. This version is paired with a matt black handle, and the combination would be truly complete by adding in a matt black tap as well to create a stunning, modern vanity setup.

3. Roxbury Deco Fluted Storage Cabinet

Keeping with the fluted trend but taking a different approach to accents, this tall storage cabinet combines an anthracite body with a brushed brass handle for a distinguished overall look. It has two shelves and would fit perfectly into a bathroom with an Art-Deco aesthetic, and its large size both maximises storage possibilities and would be an excellent use of space in a larger bathroom.

4. Villeroy and Boch Bourgogna Wall & Floor Tiles

If just furnishings like an anthracite bathroom cabinet or vanity aren’t enough anthracite for you, then you could consider extending the dark grey colour scheme to your bathroom’s walls and floor with these Villeroy and Boch Bourgogna Anthracite Wall/Floor Tiles. Paired with oak accents for shelving, they can create a cosy, natural stone aesthetic with a homely feel.

5. Arezzo Designer Geometric Towel Rail

Looking for a subtly unique addition to your bathroom that captures interest while not looking completely out of place? This anthracite towel rail has a beautiful, sleek finish and its geometric style will stand out in any bathroom, but it truly stands out against dark blue walls that highlight anthracite’s undertones for a timeless and refined bathroom design.

6. Roxbury Traditional Mirror Cabinet

This space-saving alternative to having a separate mirror and anthracite bathroom cabinet is both gorgeous and practical. Placing this cabinet alongside other anthracite furnishings like vanities and shelving, such as the Venice Fluted Wall Hung Vanity, will create a cohesive modern aesthetic that looks classy and feels calming.

7. Milan Designer Shelf Heated Towel Rail

With both the practical shelf design and a beautiful anthracite grey look, the Milan Designer Shelf Heated Towel Rail both maximises how many towels you can store in your bathroom and looks amazing at the same time. When placed against a backdrop of white or light grey tiles and furniture, this heated towel rail can introduce an interesting splash of anthracite for an attention-grabbing statement piece.

8. Venice 300W Digital Thermostatic Heating Element

Although there’s been a few bathroom ideas for anthracite towel rails throughout this list, this is an example of one of our anthracite bathroom accessories that can work alongside a heated towel rail. It’s small but will fit with the colour scheme of an anthracite towel rail perfectly, and provides a great quality of life function - while not messing with the overall sleek, anthracite style of your bathroom.

9. Arezzo Designer Panel Radiator with Towel Rails

If none of the heated towel rail ideas so far seem quite right for your bathroom, then this panel design radiator could still be a contender. It keeps the bold anthracite colour scheme, but has a slightly different style for towel-holding, with cut-outs instead of shelves or bars.

10. VitrA Evi Compact Standing Vanity

Sometimes, you need a bathroom design that is both space-saving and stylish, and if you don’t want to compromise on either of those then this compact anthracite vanity might be an option for you. The glossy anthracite finish looks classic and sleek with its shiny chrome handle, and would pair well with a chrome tap to match.

11. Roxbury Soft Close Toilet Seat

Every toilet deserves the perfect toilet seat, and an anthracite choice could be perfect for yours. This Roxbury Soft Close Anthracite Toilet Seat is made specifically for pairing with Carlton toilets, and will really finish off your new bathroom’s modern look.

12. Monza Flat Panel Aluminium Radiator

Prioritising a minimalistic, simple appearance over specific towel-drying functions, which some of the other options on this list have, this radiator would be a sleek addition to a bathroom with a dark aesthetic, and a bold, attention-grabbing feature to include against lighter panelling or tiles.

13. Porte Satin Marble Effect Tiles

For a beautiful splash of luxurious elegance in your home, you could consider these stunning marble effect anthracite tiles. They’re perfect for making a bold statement with your walls or floors, or you could combine the two for a gorgeous, all-encompassing anthracite effect. Consider some lighter cream or beige furnishings to contrast with the dark anthracite vibes and create a classy, eye-catching overall style.

14. Trafalgar Freestanding Toilet Roll Holder

Even the smallest details in your bathroom, such as anthracite bathroom accessories, can add to a sleek, dramatic modern look, and this freestanding toilet roll holder is an excellent example. The polished steel holder will pair beautifully with other chrome accents, and the marble effect on the anthracite would match well with marble effect anthracite tiles.

15. Chatsworth Savoy Traditional Towel Rail Radiator

This Chatsworth Savoy Traditional Towel Rail Radiator looks sophisticated alongside its brushed brass accents, which help it really pop against a navy blue or anthracite wall. Mixing in some white decor and accessories can add to that overall contrasting colour scheme, and results in a beautiful bathroom look that highlights the best of classic, period inspired charm.

Finishing Up With Our Anthracite Bathroom Ideas

From the smallest pop of anthracite grey with accents like a toilet seat or compact vanity, to more anthracite-central bathroom designs with dark grey tiles, vanities and heated towel rails, there are plenty of ways to incorporate this sleek, modern shade into your home.

Products with a more natural stone anthracite look can pair with oak furnishings for an overall homely feel, or more refined, solid anthracite can up the style and elegance of any bathroom, especially when contrasted against lighter tones.
