Design Ideas for Luxury Black Bathrooms

The bathroom’s colour scheme is one of the first things you’ll notice when stepping into the space, especially when opting for something as striking as a black and white bathroom or monochrome style. Black and white bathroom tiles offer an excellent foundation for creating a black or dark grey bathroom. Though classic checkerboard tiling certainly has its appeal, many of our clients prefer something more modern and geometric, such as the Azulej tiles specified at our recent residential project, Burma Road.

Black tiling can also be used to create an eye-catching feature wall, as demonstrated in the black bathroom scheme shown here. To create this effect, sophisticated black marble-effect tiles were selected for the showering area, contrasted by the striking shower screen frame in a golden finish and the black and white geometric design of the tiles installed underfoot.

White bathtubs have been the norm for many years, but the best black bathrooms tend to use a black or a very dark bath instead. Black baths add to the allure of the bathroom design, delivering an equal level of aesthetic versatility as their white counterparts.

Our recent private residential project on Battersea’s riverside demonstrates how a freestanding black bath doesn’t necessarily dominate a space. Instead, the BC Designs Gio Bath in the Gunmetal finish harmoniously blends into the grey tiles, illuminated with downlighting from the ceiling, alcove, and floor.

To create a traditional style bathroom with a black bath, please explore our exclusive ranges of cast iron baths, such as the Winchester and Cambridge baths that arrive as a blank canvas to allow for customisation. You are able to select and paint the bath any colour of your choice to align with your chosen interior. Should you require guidance, please do not hesitate to contact our sales team, who are more than happy to assist you.

When designing a black bathroom, you may not instantly consider the option of a black toilet or bidet. Once again diverting from the norm of white ceramics, black toilets and bidets are on-trend alternatives that create an incredibly chic space.

Best suited in an all-black bathroom, a black WC blends into matching black bathroom sanitaryware and furniture and is perfect for showcasing a feature wall. Displayed here at our flagship Waterloo showroom is the Duravit Happy D2 Plus WC. Specified in the Anthracite finish, this sleek WC allows the striking Marvel Nero Marquna wall tiles to take centre stage within the black bathroom room set.

Our unrivalled range of black vanity units covers an array of sizes to suit every bathroom layout. Many of our bathroom vanity units are available to order bespoke, allowing you to create the perfect storage solution in your space. Our Artelinea furniture ranges showcase classic to contemporary styles with both space-saving and larger options.

At our recent project, Eaton Place, the Artelinea Dama vanity unit takes centre stage within the modern industrial style bathroom scheme. Crafted entirely from glass and finished in ‘Fumo’, this vanity unit with its optional drawer provides the small bathroom with a sophisticated storage solution.

With such a variety of finishes to choose from, we encourage you to book an appointment with one of our sales consultants to finalise your product specification.

Crittal-style shower screens and shower enclosures draw inspiration from the industrial design trend - a clever combination of simplicity and elaboration. Install a crittal-style shower screen to create a striking feature in your bathroom. With your choice of horizontal and vertical lines, you can specify how the metal framework is set out to make it a truly bespoke piece that perfectly suits your space.

Created for a client’s 17th century home, the black bathroom scheme displayed here features a Drench Frahm shower screen in a matt black finish. C.P. Hart’s design team installed matching matt black shower fittings from the Dornbracht Tara range to complete the space.
