Black Bathrooms.

The black bathroom is a dramatic dive into slightly masculine, yet decidedly elegant, design. Everybody likes a crisp white, spa-like bathroom, but not every bathroom has to look like a spa, Black bathrooms are so dramatic, which means you're emotionally moved. You don't have that drama in an all-white bathroom.

However, designers agree that executing a bold black bathroom demands a bit more thought than a can of black paint.  a black bathroom is a welcomed design for anyone, of any gender, who appreciates glamour.

First, decide what type of material will create the backdrop for the space. Rather than having flat black walls, you can go for marble tiles with minimal details. It may seem gaudy or loud at first, but it's warm and much better than having flat black walls. However, black marble isn't your only choice. Beyond painting the walls, you can also go for black porcelain or ceramic tiles or black sheets of glass.

The walls are the first thing to think about, because it's what gives you a great backdrop for other colours to pop off of, When you're using a really dark colour, it's really important to introduce great texture, such as wood walls or textured paint, to create shadows within that dark colour.

Don't Go Jet Black

In certain cases, a jet black bathroom can make a space seem less sophisticated and dated than black blended with another hue. If you decide to go all in and use black on most or all of your bathroom surfaces, think of ways to circulate light so the space isn't too dark. I like to pick black that has gray or brown in it, think about the colour palette in the rest of the house, and if it is warm or cold.

 If the colour palette is cooler, go with black that has gray hues, and if it's warmer, choose a black with brown. Other surfaces should showcase an intentionally different black than the walls. Go with a different colour black for the cabinetry than the walls. It needs to be different enough to make it look like it was done on purpose. It can't be a near-miss.

Incorporate contrast

Part of what makes a black bathroom so dramatic is the contrast of black surfaces with other hues, so incorporate a few highlights of colours like bright white, that are strikingly noticeable against the black. Having an all-black bathroom can evoke a sense of claustrophobia. you can incorporate this by skipping an all black floor for a lighter option. A black bathroom is all about mastering reflection and light in a dark space, keep the fixtures, sinks, tubs and commodes white for contrast. The walls are absorbing light, so you need to use white for almost a reverse mascara effect."

Add A Bit Of Shine

Most well-designed black bathrooms have one thing in common: Shiny surfaces and fittings. Whether with metal or glass, it's another way to add reflectivity to the otherwise light-absorbing space. Metals work really well in a dark room because they reflect light thereby light is being bounced off to other surfaces. You can try outlining door knobs and edges in anything that has a nice shimmering effect. Incorporating mirrors into your black bathroom is also another way to lighten up the space.  Using a lighter colour on the ceiling lends the bathroom an inviting warmth.
