Black Bathrooms We Love (and How to Design Your Own)
When considering which color to use in your bathroom, black might not be the first one on your list. However, there's a strong case for why it should be. The color black is striking, dramatic, and moody, and it acts as a neutral for many design styles, whether it's eclectic bohemian, sleek contemporary, or Scandinavian-inspired.
A bathroom design needs ample light for tasks like getting ready. But bathrooms also have to simultaneously help you feel invigorated in the morning and wind down at nighttime. Luckily, with the color black, you can achieve all of those desires and moods. Black is a staple in people's wardrobes for a reason: It's a sophisticated instant classic, and bringing that aesthetic into our homes is a good idea. If you're interested in creating your own black bathroom, these homes are the go-to for black bathroom ideas.
Tips for Decorating a Black Bathroom
- Just because a bathroom is black doesn't mean it has to be dark. Add white elements (like marble countertops or tiles) to brighten the room, or metallic details like gold hardware.
- Flat black walls might make a space feel dark or cramped — try adding in some texture like black faux alligator-skin-looking granite or painting wainscotting black.
- If you're not ready to go all black, use wallpaper with pops of color and a black background. You'll still get the dark effect while incorporating some eye-catching details.
