Black brings instant elegance and contrast — in small doses it sharpens a room, in large ones it creates drama. Used with care it reads expensive, never gloomy.

How black works in the bathroom
In the bathroom, black details — tap, frame, trim — lift a white-tiled room into something deliberately designed.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: that tile and porcelain are fixed, so colour comes via textiles and detail. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.
Colours that pair well with black
Black lifts white and wood to the max, and plays with brass, green and warm earth tones. Let it be the accent, not the whole.
Materials and details
Matte black metal, dark wood and leather carry the colour; mix in warm materials so it doesn't turn harsh.
The most common mistake
Too much black in a small, dark room swallows the light. Use it as contrast against bright surfaces.
See black in the bathroom — before you paint
The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the bathroom and type "repaint the bathroom in black". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
