Bathroom with Black Beaded Board

Black and white bathroom — James Nathan Schroder

If you want to go bold with wall color but don’t want to commit to painting an entire wall black, consider adding black beaded board. In this bathroom, it adds striking contrast to white walls without being too overpowering. The color scheme continues throughout the space with a black-and-white dresser, floor tile, and decorative wall accents. Add a natural element, such as floating wood shelves or a colorful bunch of flowers, to avoid an overly monochromatic look.

Modern Bathroom with Black Vanity

A stylish black vanity is the showstopper in this modern black-and-white bathroom. Brass hardware and lighting add warmth and an additional layer of color to punctuate the two-tone space. If you’re using a minimal bathroom color palette, a good way to vary solid colors without introducing a new color is with pattern, such as this geometric floor tile. It adds great visual interest, plays with scale, and breaks up large solid surfaces.

Small Black-and-White Bathroom

Strike the right balance in a small black-and-white bathroom by using each color on both large surfaces, like the white subway tile walls and black ceiling here, as well as in small accents. Incorporate different shapes and patterns, such as this room’s round mirror, tasseled shower curtain, or hexagonal tile, to add interest to the space without more colors.
