Bathroom Design: Go For Drama With Design-Forward Matte Black

If you’re looking for an eye-catching but surprising design element in the bathroom, why not try something in a little matte black? Matte black conveys elegance as well as the elemental strength and drama of volcanic rock, making it quite the focus-pulling design force in the bath.

How do you pull off this design-forward element of matte black? Here are a few ideas:

• Matte black faucets and other essential hardware items are having a moment. Paired with bright white or pale-hued porcelain and tile, black offers a dramatic juxtaposition.
• Devote one wall of your powder room to matte black, and you’ll have a powerful backdrop that carries the gleam of your porcelain, tile and hardware.
• No need to rip out the old vanity when you can give it a fashionable makeover in a single weekend. After repainting the main cabinet in matte black, gilded drawer pulls, faucets and mirror frames create a perfect touch of elegance.
• If a subtle but striking update is more your speed, matte black drawers pair wonderfully with a marble countertop, as well as almost any metal or color scheme in your bathroom.
• For a modern spin on a vintage look, matte black hexagon floor tiling sets off a white, sculptural bathtub.

Finally, you'll want to accessorize! Sleek, bold accessories rendered in matte black bring beauty and function to the bath.
