Bathroom design: Black and white

Think glam, class, and elegance. There’s a reason why the black and white bathroom remains one of the most sought-after bathroom themes for decades.  From timeless to contemporary, it’s the Audrey Hepburn of all bathroom styles and trends.

When house-hunting, people often pay careful attention to bathrooms. That is also true for bathroom renovations. For a lot of reasons, black and white bathrooms often make a good impression. Its clean yet sleek lines make for an exquisite style that most find hard to resist. There are certain things that you need to consider if you want a black-and-white bathroom. Find out below.

Space

The first thing you need to think about when planning for a black-and-white theme is space. Just as a white bathroom with black accent pieces can enlarge your bathroom, a black one with snatches of white will make your bathroom look smaller than it actually is. If you have very limited space, you can use white as your main colour and just add a few touches of black, such as a black bathroom counter, area rug or even towels. These small yet bold accents will carry out the theme without affecting the size and feel of the room.

Mix and match

Since black and white are, obviously, two colours only, you can make up for it by mixing different finishes and textures. If you opt for a glassy floor, why not choose a matte or eggshell wall? Finish it off with an area rug to complement the whole look. Another option would be to mix and match your decor. If you have an ultra-modern sink, a claw-footed tub will make for a stunning combination.

Walls

When you’re not too keen to use paint for your walls, use wallpaper instead. Patterned wallpaper on the sink wall will look absolutely wonderful when paired with a silver framed mirror. For smaller bathrooms, just use wallpaper on one wall, which can then serve as the main focal point of your bathroom.

Knick-knacks

Finally, a few key objects here and there can make a huge impact in bringing it all together. A few candles, some artwork and a large mirror, will do the trick. If your ceiling is high enough – a black chandelier is always a win.
