Such a monochromatic frame is not exactly a popular option because few people actually dare to end. And we must admit that there is nothing more extreme than a given piece, all white or completely black! Of course, this is not always the case, but we will return to this topic further down the page.

Either way, setting up a black bathroom, with or without colored accents, is a bold decision. Yet you will not regret it if you have made an informed choice and if you know some practical tips. Let's begin with the main merits of the darkest non-color, the decorative strategies that must be adopted to highlight them and the psychic effects it can have on the users of this shared space.

What are the benefits of the black bathroom?


The essential benefit of a black bathroom is its innate superior elegance that no wise person could deny. Simple, distinguished and absolutely majestic, black does not yield in any way to warm or fresh colors. Therefore, by using this dark tone to decorate a room in your home, you can easily carry out a completely exclusive design without even having to do anything special!

Black tile is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear about a black bathroom. And this is not at all a random phenomenon, because this type of flooring for both the floor and the walls is the most common choice when it comes to the functional layout of high humidity rooms such as the room bath. The major advantage of black tiles is that it suddenly highlights the existing aesthetics of a clear accessory that is superimposed on it.

Another highly appreciated quality of the black bathroom is its indisputably modern look, as well as its flexibility. That is to say, it can be examined through the prism of several stylistic interpretations and it will always result attractive and sophisticated. Whether you prefer minimalist interiors, Scandinavian designs, Japanese spirit designs or even retro chic spaces, the blackish decor in the powder room will create the perfect backdrop.

Minimalist, classic or retro chic, the black bathroom is always exclusive


For information, in Chinese culture black symbolizes the North and is the color related to the element Water. This last point makes it the option par excellence in design and decoration of the space where one takes his daily shower. Whatever the cultural background or specific style you have selected for your own unique piece, the black bathroom is essentially full of glamor and luxury and also has a certain dose of mysticism.

Many people avoid black considering that it does not offer an abundance of shades to choose the best one. In fact, black offers a whole host of beautiful hues that can be easily adapted to your decorating ideas. According to his personal taste one can choose between slate, carbon, graphite, ebony, anthracite and liquorice, among others. And we did not even mention the many sub-tones that draw on red tones or turn blue shades.

The black bathroom also has its disadvantages


We continue with the disadvantages that, unfortunately, go hand in hand with any solution that seems too good to be true. The crucial, and probably most obvious, counter to the black bathroom is the same as any other dark upholstery that can be found inside the contemporary home. You may have already guessed that this is the visibility of certain types of dirt and the extensive maintenance that accompanies it.

Everyone knows that dust is too visible on black materials, regardless of the specific piece. But when we talk about the bathroom, the situation gets worse because of splashing water and moisture. The stains caused by hard water, as well as the inevitable soapy traces, are real challenges for anyone determined to maintain their black bathroom in impeccable condition. The unique way to completely remove scale deposits is to wipe surfaces with a clean, dry cloth after each use.

In any case, you can mitigate this important defect somewhat by paying particular attention to the finishes of the coatings. In other words, opt for a matte black or satin tiling or place of a glossy finish makes the deposits less apparent. Slabs with raised accents, as well as speckled or ribbed tiles are another good way to 'get around the rules of the game'. They will allow you to rarefier the frequency of the cleanings however always to have a black bathroom in perfect condition.

Is black's ability to absorb light a plus or minus?


Our overview of the plus and minus of the black bathroom continues with a somewhat contradictory feature. In other words, it is necessary at all costs to mention the so-called capacity of the non-color in question to absorb the light. Contrary to popular belief, this characteristic could be considered and as beneficial, and as unfavorable according to the specific architectural conditions, the point of view and the effect on which you bet.

On the one hand, diverting the light, and therefore the attention, from the floor and walls and attracting it to the furniture and accessories is something sought after in design and decoration, especially when one wants to put these forward.. On the other hand, this effect must be exploited with moderation and often offset by the strategic layout of the lighting fixtures. Otherwise, we expose ourselves to the unnecessary risk of ending up with a visually uncomfortable, boring or even worse - totally claustrophobic space.

Finally, one of the probably most prevalent negatives among people is the negative associations caused by the black color. Its connotations of melancholy, death and mourning are an important reason for giving up, even if, for the majority of people, it is only under-conscious. However, we must never forget that it is above all a question of attitude towards the world around us to perceive this or that color as sad, pessimistic and depressive or as prestigious and sophisticated. Certainly, it's the same for the black bathroom!

Deco ideas to further magnify the black bathroom


If it is exactly the funeral atmosphere that you fear, know that there are many tips and decorative "cheating" to avoid it definitely. For example, counteracting the dark "negative" tone by simply adding several white accents to it is only a super logical approach. In fact, the black and white bathroom is the only one that could match, even sometimes surpass, the black one. In the photo above, you can admire the idea we just described, made with white marble - a material that looks more aristocratic.

In this vein, you should not use a single cladding material, nor necessarily opt for wall tiles. Matte paint, burnished wood paneling, black marble, graphite moldings and basements, and anthracite stained concrete are some of the most popular alternatives to the classic tiled black bathroom. By preferring one of these options you get all the exceptional positives that boast a black bathroom while eliminating the tedious daily cleaning of droplets on shiny tiles!
