Thanks for your comment, Will! You’re right, it wouldn’t perhaps be suitable for a bathroom being used by lots of teenagers! But in a low traffic bathroom it certainly creates wow factor.

Thanks for the article Jacqui !!

Thanks for your comment, John! Black bathrooms seems to be increasing in popularity, I see quite a few about in mags etc. but you do have to be careful if the room is already quite small!

Showed it to my wife and she liked it more than me but as ours is rather small it may give the appearance of even smaller! Food for thought and unusual but interesting post!

Hi Kevin, thanks so much for your comment and for sharing on Twitter. I’m glad this post has sparked your interest, going for a black bathroom is certainly a bold thing to do and definitely not for everyone, but it does seem to be becoming a bit of a trend, whether that be black tiles, black paint or simply some black accessories! So this is just our take on it really and how we’ve been inspired to go for it in our own bathroom :).

Whilst I’m not sure it’s for me (I really can’t decide, I keep going back over the pictures) you have perhaps put in just enough colour to convince me. In particular I like the old cupboard and the ornate mirror you have used; that seems to work very well in giving the room a real feeling of character and interest.

It’s quite strange really, when I first started reading this post I thought how clean and attractive your original bathroom was. And it was only when I read what you said about it looking like a hotel bathroom did I think “yes, you’re right” – very impersonal.

Not sure if it will help convince anyone else to go black, but will be tweeting a link to here in a moment to share the idea at least.
