Black and white bathroom design
If you decide to decorate the bathroom design in black and white, no one will accuse you of bad taste. But at the same time, you should use a few tips:
- The black color visually makes the room smaller. Therefore, when decorating a small bathroom, white should be used as the main, background color. If the bathroom is spacious, the walls, the floor can be laid with black tiles diagonally, and the accents will be items in the form of a white bathtub and other plumbing fixtures, as well as furniture and accessories.
- Decorating a bathroom in black and white requires special lighting - it should be as bright as possible.
- If the bathroom is narrow, it can be visually expanded by gluing tiles with horizontal stripes on a short wall. If the bathroom has a low ceiling, this problem can be corrected with tiles with vertical stripes, and you can also use a rug with this pattern.
- Black color visually smoothes the corners, so you can safely use plumbing and black furniture with clear geometric shapes.
- If you want to dilute the black and white design with bright details, you can use no more than two or three such elements, otherwise the harmony of the black and white bathroom design will be destroyed.
