Black bathroom decor: the latest trend to explore

Black bathroom fixtures and decor have become increasingly popular in recent years, with tiling, fittings, bath tubs, sinks and black extractor fans manufactured to meet this new demand. If landlords and developers wish to create sleek, modern builds that embody both style and practicality, they may want to consider the growing trend of the black bathroom aesthetic. 

Black and white bathroom decor ideas

Black bathrooms can convey a  timeless and sophisticated aesthetic, featuring classic design elements commonly associated with luxury and high end styles. Yet, they can be achieved at an accessible price point. 

Recently, interior designer and Vogue Interiors Editor, Jamie Gallagher, said “what could be more glamorous than a gloss black sink?” Whilst black may have been previously considered a one-note colour option, the multiplicity of tones and styles available on the market has led to black to becoming a versatile colour that marries with an array of design preferences. Black fixtures like taps, sinks, shower heads and bathtubs are now available in a variety of finishes, such as matte or glossy, whilst vanity counters can vary from shiny gunmetal options to rich, understated charcoal. Black counters, tiles and fixtures can blend seamlessly with a range of aesthetics, effortlessly matching with neutral colour palettes and accenting themselves against lighter features. 

Bathroom with black fixtures

Black fixtures create striking depth and contrast in bathroom spaces, showcasing sleek and effortless interior design. One of the most popular trends involves using black fixtures to create a complimenting accent within a more neutral-toned bathroom. Smaller details like grouting or accent tiles can still be impactful, contrasting well with other colours, whilst highlighting areas of the bathroom without being overwhelming. 

Bathroom must-haves like heaters and black extractor fans certainly shouldn’t be overlooked when it comes to incorporating the latest trends into your bathroom builds and renovations. Vital to ensuring bathrooms remain well ventilated and damp free, black versions of the latest ventilation and heating options can contribute to the overall style, rather than detracting from the overall aesthetic.. By choosing solutions that gel with a bathroom’s style, landlords and developers can showcase a sense of pride in the way their properties look, adding a sense of refinement that’s sure to impress. 

Why the black bathroom trend is growing

Black bathrooms are fast becoming the safe bet. Understated and classic designs make them impermeable to transient trends, ensuring that they stay stylish, relevant and practical for years to come. As well as the sophisticated, monochromatic style, black bathrooms are also considered practical and easy to maintain. This is especially well suited to landlords, who want to minimise the cost of potential repairs and upgrades between tenancies. By tuning into the black bathroom trend, landlords and developers can use subtle black fixtures to create smart, contemporary bathrooms that will stand the test of time. Aligning with aesthetics desired by consumers can help your properties to stand out from the competition, with refined interior designs that contribute to the health and happiness of the occupants.
