Black is the new black.
Currently the most prevalent colours in bathroom designs are neutrals. Neutrals, for good reason, are the go-to choice for many of us. But what if you want to switch things up a little? Black and white are colours that have become increasingly trendy for bathrooms as they never go out of style.
Some people fear that dark colours will make a space look small and gloomy. But today, we hope to put these misconceptions aside and show you what black and white bathrooms have to offer.
When thoughtfully planned, a monochromatic bathroom design can become a unique and welcoming space. The black and white is a color combination that has survived many years without becoming unappealing like the 1980’s avocado bathroom suite. So, once you've spent time designing and executing your black and white bathroom design you won’t need to switch things up when trends change. The timeless nature of the black and white scheme means you have bathroom that will look good for years to come.
Fixtures are a great way to harmonise your bathroom design. Shower screens, shower heads, and shower arms can be used to offset the colour of your walls and flooring. The shine from metallic elements of these fixtures will break up any application of black ensuring that your space feels open and lively.
