Everything You Need To Know About Accessorizing Your Bathroom!

Black bathroom accessories generally fall into the categories of “modern” or “retro”. The modern accessories will feature sleek clean lines and minimal ornamentation. The retro category of accessories will be chunkier in appearance. Most black bath accessory sets are made of ceramic and will usually include a soap dish, tooth brush holder, lotion dispenser and small wastebasket. The following are a few ideas for using black accessories to accent your bathroom or powder room.

A Black and White Theme is a very elegant decorating approach for your bathroom. If you are decorating an early-1900′s home, you may lucky enough to be working with the original white subway tile on the floor and walls of the bathroom. If so, all you need to add are a few thick fluffy black towels and a set of black ceramic accessories and your decorating project is almost complete. To finish the job, hang a couple of vintage black and white photographs on the walls and viola, your bathroom is freshly decorated but with an air of history and original character.

A Modern Neutral Look can be achieved in your bathroom by adding black accessories that feature clean square lines and polished nickel ornamentation. You might want to forego the ceramic bathroom accessories, and stick with real wood. If you do a bit of shopping, you’ll find that modern black accessories come in a variety of shapes and styles. Some are quite simple, while others feature interesting geometric shapes and designs. If your bathroom is a more traditional design, you can get away with some of the carved wood accessory sets, but if you are a die-hard fan of modern design, keep your accessories as simple as possible.

Glossy Black can be a real show-stopper in a high-end luxury bathroom. If your bathroom fixtures are plain white and there isn’t much personality in the walls or floor tile, punch up the room with sleek glossy black accessories. But be sure to carry the luxury theme through the rest of the room by investing in the thickest most-luxurious black (or white) bath towels and thick rugs for the floor. If you’re using rugs, try to find a set made from rayon or polyester to add shine to match your glossy black accessories. Don’t forget to use glossy black frames on any art, as matt black will ruin the effect of your glossy black accessories.

Black as an added accent color can work to tone down an otherwise too-colorful bathroom. If you are decorating with a bold color palette such as red or orange, use black accessories to contrast with your red towels or orange shower curtain. It will be much easier than trying to match the correct shade of red or orange, and you will achieve a more sophisticated look than you would with standard white bathroom accessories.
