A traditional black bathroom incorporates familiar shapes, elements, and patterns.

Inspiring Black Baths

Ever sophisticated and enduringly chic, black is and will always be a home design darling. There’s hardly a shade out there that’s more versatile, especially when paired with its favorite partner, white. Black works beautifully as a go-to hue for the bathroom, whether your style runs toward classic elegance, sleekly contemporary, or somewhere in between. Here’s some black bathroom inspiration to start you dreaming.

A Traditional Take

For those seeking a stronger design statement in a traditional-style space, a mostly black color scheme quickly pushes softer neutrals to the side. A variety of paint sheens, glamorous touches of marble, displays of mirrors, and purposeful lighting balance the weight of dark walls for a look that’s classic, but never boring.
