11 Stylish Dark Bathrooms That Prove Black is Making a Big Comeback
SaveComments
Want to give your bathroom a fresh, 2020-approved flair? Well, you'll have to go to the dark side. For years, we've assumed that only sleek, white bathrooms can give our home spa-like vibes. But in reality? As long as you pick the right shade, any color can turn your bathroom into a soothing sanctuary. Yes, even the darkest hue of them all—black.
"If you're remodeling your bathroom right now, you want to look at what's not only popular today, but what will also be popular in the future," says Wesley Ward, vice president of marketing and merchandising of Hausera, an online kitchen and bath shopping destination. "That's why, as 2020 gets underway, black is now the color of choice for bathrooms: It gives bathrooms a classic look, evokes organic beauty, and will be on-trend for years to come."
We know, we know: this will take some convincing, especially since a bathroom is arguably a place where you need ample lighting for getting ready. To help in that endeavor, we're sharing eleven black bathrooms that prove the dark side has a lot to offer.
1. Go Matte Black
Matte black is a statement color that provides a sleek and clean finish without that bold jet black look. Take it up a notch and incorporate matte black into your tiling and finishes like this homeowner did for their half bath.
2. Incorporate Patterned Wall Designs
If painting every wall black is in your ideal finish for your bathroom, then take it up a notch by including designed illustrations on those walls. It can get super trippy (in a good way!) like this homeowner's bathroom.
3. Add Pops of Color
We are absolutely in love with this matte black bathroom, which features bright accent colors. The yellow claw foot tub, along with the pink poster, add playful pops of color into a dark space.
4. Accessorize with Eye-Catching Art
Whoever thought black walls always had to be the center of attention has never seen this California house tour. Here, homeowners Anthony and Elizabeth, used this moody dark color as a neutral base, layering the walls with eclectic, colorful artwork. The result? A dark room that looks delightfully whimsical—not overwhelming.
5. Enlist an Accent Wall
If you're not ready to cover all four walls in a fresh coat of black, an accent wall will strike a balance between subtle and statement. Not only does the accent wall in Nicole and Dan Lucey's Brooklyn brownstone make a statement, but the printed tiles tie into the color scheme, giving this bathroom some much-needed cohesion. To keep this palette from appearing dark and dreary, try to incorporate some colorful accents such as yellow stools and bright blue towels.
6. Embrace the Best of Both Worlds
Torn between a crisp white bathroom and a dramatic black space? Why not have it both ways? After all, opposites attract, and the black-and-white color combo is no exception to this rule. This London-based house tour juxtaposes white wainscoting with a moody coat of black paint above it. The almost-black shade here adds some drama to the space without making it look dreary. And the dark clawfoot bath tub only bolsters this unique look.
7. Wow with Wallpaper
Just because you want to take your bathroom to the dark side doesn't mean you can't have fun with pattern in your space. To give your space a hint of personality, consider adding a roll of wallpaper with a black background. The wallpaper in Cupcakes and Cashmere founder Emily Schuman's powder room is equal parts blooming, brooding, and oh-so beautiful. The large scale, white floral repeat means you get to go dark, but there'a also the presence of some lightness, too.
8. Go Glam with Metallic Accents
One of the best things about painting your bathroom walls black is that the hue works well with virtually anything, from neutrals and brights to metallics. If you want to take your bathroom decor up a few notches, finish off the space with metallic accents such as frames, cabinet knobs, and scones. Let Kathy and Matt's country crib above show you how it's done. Reflective finishes and surfaces will help through light around your space, effectively brightening it up—if that's a concern for you because natural light is at a premium.
9. Try the Tiled Treatment
This may come as a surprise to you, but a fresh coat of paint isn't the only way to embrace the black bathroom phenomenon. In this Alaska abode, homeowners Carson Baldiviez and Tanya Val opted for glossy, vertical tiled walls that makes this dark bathroom literally shine. Two vessel sinks, a wooden countertop, and strategically planned plant round out the space, giving this dark bathroom the lightness of a luxurious spa.
10. Black-on-Black
If you keep your large bathroom fixtures white—the tub, your vanity, black is a wonderful color choice for your walls and floors. We especially love this homeowner's commitment to the dark side—even the beaded chandelier is a shade of black!
11. Work Some Wainscoting
We saw the more typical white beadboard and dark colored half wall combo above, but you can also try the reverse with a black tile or wood wainscoting and white half wall. Here a white penny tiled floor and molding around the vanity mirror also add some balance to the equation. Just remember: Matte tile won't throw as much light around a space as glossy tile will, so it will likely work best in a bathroom that has a couple of windows and gets lots of sun.
