Black Bathrooms: New Trends and Design Blends

Black bathrooms are a trend that seems will never end. Instead, black bathroom designs are evolving in various ways. Let’s take a look at some ideas you can do with your bathroom as a new year nears.

It doesn’t have to be all black. It can be just one major black item like the bath, the mirror, or a black feature wall in the shower.

Colour professional Samantha Bacon writes: “I really love this one and with such a great feature, you really don't need to bring in any other wow factors here. The old adage that less is more applies. Keep the walls and flooring simple and let the bath take centre stage.” (Black bathrooms – how to successfully pull this off)

This one’s a classic: using black tapware and accessories that are bold statements in your bathroom.

Brisbane designer and houzz.com.au contributor Anne Ellard lists 10 reasons why people are “going nuts for black tapware.” If we’ll pick three of those reasons, they will be these:

• Black is sleek and stylish (and now will never go out of style). 
• Black is striking (and seems to speak to you, may we add). 
• Black works beautifully with timber tones.

Why does black go naturally and beautifully well with wood and such hues? Black and wood give contrast and balance at the same time but, more importantly, evokes drama perhaps from the combination of the warmth of wood and the sleekness of black.

It also gives a mix of natural and contemporary at the same time - you get the best of both worlds!

Just look at images of bathrooms with black and wood - but don’t blame us if you can’t get enough of them.

There are a lot more black bathroom designs, including:

• Black on the floor (like black and white tiles) 
• Black walls (whether tiles, stone, ceramic, concrete, or acrylic) 
• Black with dark hues (e.g., dark blue, dark greens, dark grey, dark brown) 
• All-black or mostly black 

Whichever black bathroom trend you choose for your next remodel, Renovator Store has a wide range of black tapware and bathroom fittings for you. As Hire a Helper reminds, "Be smart when shopping for materials." (Your Kitchen Remodel: Cost Factors, Layout Ideas and How to Renovate)
