Paired together, the combination of black and white are perfect for a bathroom where you want to create a look that is dramatic and elegant. With white walls and trim, black accents impart a luxurious and sophisticated atmosphere in any size or bathroom layout. You can opt for black and white mosaic tiles, a line of black tiles surrounded by white, a feature wall. or use black to highlight furniture and fittings. This colour combination makes a high impact statement while keeping a bathroom looking clean without appearing sterile.

 

 

 

Unlike many other colours, black and white in bathroom won't age with the passing of time, and it can be adapted to suit any taste - whether you prefer to keep it traditional, or go towards a more modern theme.

There are many ways to add black to your bathroom. If you prefer not to add or remove floor or walls tiles, look at cosmetic ways to incorporate black in an all-white bathroom, such as painting a bathroom vanity in a matt or satin black and dressing this up with satin chrome handles and knobs for added elegance.

For walls without tiles, horizontal stripes are a great way to visually widen a cramped bathroom, so why not use stripes to introduce black into the bathroom or powder room.

Black and white are considered truly classic, but that doesn't mean you can't stamp your own personality on the room. Black looks great when paired with silver or gold, so don't be afraid to bring in some glam with decorative mirror frames, or framed pictures.
