Cool Ideas for Decorating a Bathroom in Black & White

Black and white combine to create a classic bathroom style that never clashes with adjoining rooms. Although simple black and white shapes create a crisp and geometric look, delicate black floral print items create a softer feel. People can create many different looks in a black and white bathroom by combining design elements in creative ways. - Purchase many of the basic items found in a bathroom in black instead of white to start off with a bold statement. A black bathtub, toilet or sink can quickly transform a stark white bathroom into a sleek alternative bathroom. Black bathroom storage, such as a medicine cabinet or linen tower, can lend contrast to a bathroom already outfitted mostly in white. For a subtler look, even just a few black items such as a soap pump, toothbrush holder, towel ring and trash can in black can decorate a white bathroom in a simple way.
- A black and white bathroom for a family with children or for someone who enjoys animals can include decorations related to a black and white animal such as a panda, cow, zebra or penguin. A few framed black and white photos of the animal can decorate the walls, and specialty stores may sell accessories, such as a toothbrush holder or soap dish, that feature the animal. Another decorating idea is to purchase a shower curtain that features the animal, its habitat, or, in the case of a zebra, its print.
- Decorating with glossy black and white tiles gives a clean and crisp look to the bathroom. Use tiles on the floor, walls and countertops. A bold black and white bathroom can alternate colors to make a chessboard design while using just a thin strip of black and white tile trim around the bathroom achieves a subtler look. For variety, incorporate hexagonal or octagonal tiles into the design to prevent the bathroom from looking like a chessboard.
