Stunning dark bathroom designs to express your personality
Modern dark bathroom designs create an enveloping, chic, spa-like oasis. A black bathroom may seem a bold choice, but one that can actually give the restroom a theatrical, sculptural character: in other words, turn it into a true temple of well-being. It's a meeting of functionality and aesthetics that stands up well against the rest of the house, fitting in with coherence and stylistic continuity because it is capable of expressing a strong personality.
There are many ways to incorporate such a bold color as black in the bathroom. You can go for a total look, a daring and original choice, or create contrasts with other shades, such as white, adding touches of black with fixtures, tiles, sanitary ware, a black bathtub or dark furniture. Another option is to create a Scandinavian-inspired design by combining black with natural materials like wood.
An all-black environment should be enriched with textures to avoid looking flat. Be sure to mix and match multiple finishes to add three-dimensionality and dynamism: Riquadro by Antoniolupi, for example, is a perfect customizable micro domestic architecture with multiple refined combinations. The integrated sink completes its functionality.
Always signed by Antoniolupi, the Orion bathtub is available in the precious Nero Marquinia marble, which enhances its geometries with its unique facets.
Esperanto by Rexa Design stands out for the significant thickness of the door, which highlights the 45° inclined cut finish: a characteristic that, along with the combination of multiple finishes including black lacquer and black oak, enhances any space.
If you don't want to go fully black, you can balance dark hues with white: a visually striking effect is guaranteed. The simplest way is to incorporate matte black fixtures in a classic white bathroom; ideally, in this case, you should also include some other black accessories in the design to create a coherent look.
Double Madison, Devon&Devon
Some furnishings are characterised by this dramatic contrast between black and white, such as the Cuna and Vieques bathtubs by Agape: both designed by Patricia Urquiola, they stand out for their compact, fun, and sophisticated lines.
A similar vintage and essential allure is typical of the Stand collection by Ex.t: a homage to the slender cast iron details typical of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, it combines thin black metal structures with the innovative LivingTec® material.
The Aurora Bijoux bathtub by Devon & Devon, on the other hand, is explicitly neo-romantic, enriched with sparkling metal finishes.
The freestanding Breeze sink by Antoniolupi "shines" on its own: it can be complemented by integrated base lighting, which spreads upwards to create new color shades.
If you prefer to stick with a softer stylistic solution, pair the elements of a modern black bathroom with natural materials like wood. Inspired by Scandinavian design, this combo softens the "drama", for a modern and relaxing result.
Milano by Ceramica Cielo is a pure and minimal piece of furniture with a large ceramic countertop, a practical storage drawer, and a steel structure that can be completed with a wooden drawer unit.
The Komodo collection of wall-mounted sanitary ware by Antoniolupi is born from the harmonious synthesis of straight lines and curved surfaces: the simple and minimal result fits perfectly in a Scandi-style context.
