Black and white bathroom ideas are a great way of styling the space if you’re looking for a design that is sure to be timeless and sophisticated, so you can be sure to love it for years to come. The classic and chic pair can be used across every style and worked into any space to create a bold and striking look. It can sometimes be daunting to work with such contrasting colours but take a look at our black and white bathroom ideas to get an idea of how to implement them into your very own bathroom.
– Introduce Lots of Texture to Create Depth
A completely plain black and white scheme can sometimes appear quite flat and lifeless. To prevent this, try introducing some detailed or textured surfaces to lift the area and create a sense of depth throughout the space. One common way of achieving this is through the tiles implemented. In this case, we’ve used a cool grey marble effect tile to create the appearance of real stone texture, which results in a striking and impactful area. By using these tiles across both the walls and floors it enhances the earthy and organic look, for modern schemes.
– Feature Flooring
To achieve a monochrome scheme incredibly easily, implement a black and white patterned floor tile, which will focus all the detail and attention to one area. By doing this you can work the rest of the space around your flooring, and focus on finding pieces that match the floor, rather than a floor that matches the bathroom furniture. Patterned flooring like Tile Mountains Victorian Centro Budapest Tiles can be the perfect way of achieving a dynamic and vintage style space. This is since the detailing and patterns are what would have been used throughout the Victorian era.
– Black Accents
Using simple black accents across a white bathroom scheme can be equally as effective at achieving a striking monochromatic scheme. This is an incredibly simple method of creating the black and white style throughout your bathroom. You can simply replace all the hardware in your bathroom with our wide variety of matt black pieces. Using matt blacks throughout a scheme is incredibly trendy, and a way of refreshing your space that creates a modern and contemporary scheme. It also looks effortlessly professional and sophisticated.
– Soften Any Harshness With Curved Edges
If you’re worried your black and white design may result in a space that’s too overwhelming or harsh for your personal taste, try using features that have curved edges, to soften the sharpness of the contrasting colours. We love using our Dakota Oval Counter Top Basin. Pairing it with other rounded elements like taps and shower heads create a softer and more delicate scheme, with the space still remaining modern and unique.
– Create a Natural Scheme Using Marble
To keep things natural and soft, implement marble into your monochromatic scheme. Marble is typically white with grey veining running throughout, which makes it perfect for an all black and white scheme. The grey veining compliments the space without it taking too much away from the features running throughout the bathroom. It works hand in hand to soften the area and create a natural and organic scheme. While doing this, it’ll also add some texture to your bathroom, ensuring the room doesn’t become too flat and lacklustre.
– Create An All Black Scheme…
Be bold and exciting with your interiors and create a scheme that features all black walls, floors, furniture and accessories. This incredibly unique style will be sure to make a statement in your home and show off your fearless personality. It’s a daunting thought to introduce only one colour into your bathroom, but sometimes we need to be wild and free with our design to unleash the inner creative within us. This allows us to become more passionate about the space and it’s design. Make sure your room is well-lit so as to not become too dark and dingy, and you’ll find yourself a luxury and hotel room style bathroom.
– …Or An All White One
On the contrary, an all-white scheme can be just as effective at creating a modern and exciting design. The contrasting colour will transform your bathroom to be more delicate and ethereal than an all-black one, but the effectiveness and results are just as impressive. White is an incredibly uplifting colour and can boost the mood immensely. It encourages a fresh state of mind and is the perfect wake-up shade first thing in the morning. If an all-white scheme isn’t for you, try introducing neutral colours like browns and greys. These will complement the shade perfectly and still result in the same graceful result.
– Introduce Black Grout to Your Tiled Areas
If you’d like to implement some black into your bathroom but are worried about it becoming too strong or overwhelming, we would always recommend using a black grout with your white tiles. This injects a little bit of the shade without it being too excessive for your personal taste. Tile Mountain have a great range of grouts, and many different shades available. This includes black, so you can achieve the same modern and impactful look.
– Framing Your Accessories With Black
A subtle way of implementing some extra black into your space is by picking accessories that have a black framing. For example, we offer a range of shower doors with different sizes and styles, all available with a matt black finish. We also stock a range of mirrors and cabinets that feature black frames and accents that work great to implement a small and comfortable amount of black into the bathroom space.
– Keeping It Traditional
If all this talk about a modern and contemporary bathroom space isn’t for you and you’re more interested in a traditional design, don’t worry, this can still be achieved with a monochrome colour scheme! In our example we’ve ensured we stick to traditional features, like the freestanding bath and traditional shower head and taps. By also incorporating texture and pattern across the walls and floors this style is enhanced, but remains in that simple black and white colour scheme we all love!
