The black and white bath is timeless…although it’s heavily trending right now, I feel like it’s a classic look. In fact, the bath I grew up with in my childhood home, was an all-black and white bath (the other was all powder blue, including the fixtures…not quite as timeless! lol) , so I’ve always been exposed to this look, and actually really love it!

As a designer, over the past year or so, I have been getting this request from clients for their bathroom remodels. There is something so dramatic about the look of the all black and white room. It’s a color palette that really works in all design styles, from classic traditional, to transitional to modern.

Having just attended KBIS in Orlando, I took notice of the prominence of new faucet finishes in matte black, and even more sinks and toilets shown in black. For many years, I hadn’t ordered a black toilet for a project (sinks yes, but toilets NOOOOO!) they had all felt too late ’90’s-early 2000’s.

However, once I started designing some all black and white baths, I enjoyed playing up the contrasts against the tile. I now truly love the look of a black sink and toilet against all white tile. In fact, one of my favorite bath designs pictured below, had a black toilet in it, along with a black sink, and matte black faucets.
