The Dark Side

Black can evoke a sense of mystery, and also invite a sensuous ambience into an intimate space. The common misconception about using black in homes is that it will make spaces look small and claustrophobic. To bust this myth, we look at ways to design a black bathroom and examine how lighting, texture and accessories can create a bold and stylish haven you want to unwind and relax in.

STORAGE TIPS

Choose black doors for the vanity, and complement them with dark-coloured organiser baskets to store supplies neatly while still ensuring they are conveniently accessible.

Avoid conventional stainless steel wall-mounted shelves and baskets for your shampoo bottles. Instead, keep to a clean, minimalist look and customise a sleek recessed ledge on the wall with the help of a tiling specialist, or design a streamlined stainless steel black powder coated ledge.

Wall mirror cabinets are some of the most convenient and useful ways to store items in your bathroom: at eye level, yet hidden from view when closed.
