Classic white bathrooms are great but why not amp them up with modern black bathroom accents? We all know about bathrooms that sport black and white tile floors, but black as an intentional design accent can really pop. Now, I’m not so sure about black towels as a choice, but everything else is fair game.
Naturally House Crush had fabulous pictures that feature exciting bathroom design ideas and especially black design touches at their best.
Neutral bathroom walls are a great backdrop for black bathroom light fixtures. My new obsession is pendant lights in the bathroom. I love these contemporary fixtures, especially as they almost become sculptural when placed in a small, minimalist space.
I know it is unorthodox to have a black floor lamp in a bathroom like the one above, but in some quirky way, I think it works. Soapy suds, a good book and a chic floor lamp? Sign me up.
If you are unwilling to commit to black hardwired lighting, try putting new, crisp black shades on your chrome or brass sconces. Juxtaposed against a white wall, they just might be the designer touch you need.
There are other ways to infuse your bathroom with black accents besides lighting. I like a simple accent table or garden stool by a bathtub or a bold black sink vanity.
Did you catch the sliver of the glossy black door in the image on the left? It’s Fantastic, and the perfect balancing act to the white walls and tub of that particular bathroom.
1. The Sonneman Soho Satin Black Wall Sconce will jump out against a stark white wall...in a good way.
2. The Art Deco inspired Minka Camden Square Charcoal Bath Light is clean, streamlined and timeless.
3. Try hanging two Mercer Street Black Mini Pendants with glass shades on either side of your bathroom mirror for a daring new approach to bathroom lighting.
4. Because we all need a laundry basket, why not have it be chic like a folding laundry basket with a bold black and white chevron pattern?
5. I love the modern simplicity of the Chelsea Single Sink Vanity with a black lacquer finish.
6. Try placing a fiberglass high-gloss black accent stool by a tub or shower to hold a book towel or candle.
