Nail the trend: Black bathrooms

With black a continuing trend for bathrooms in 2023, there are lots of ways you can achieve this popular look. Whether you want to embrace the style fully and go all-black or prefer to incorporate key elements of noir within your home, you can tailor the style to suit your tastes.

If you’re new to the trend, then it may surprise you to discover that black is actually a very versatile tone and, if used correctly, won’t darken your room but can help create a brighter space.

Using strategically placed mirrors to invite more natural light into the room will help to ensure that a black-themed bathroom feels light and welcoming (unless, of course, you’re seeking a more shadowy effect). Adding sufficient ambient lighting of your own through wall lights, along with inbuilt mirror and overhead lighting, will also further complement noir-themed tones.

If your bathroom gets lots of natural light then this is even better, as it will act as a good jumping-off point when creating a black bathroom which is welcoming and well-lit.

Going back to black for bathing

The elegant style of the Hudson Reed Framed Wet Room Screen is a subtle way of introducing black into your bathroom.

If you’re considering the black bathroom trend, then there are lots of options available to get the desired effect. For example, if you like clean lines and a more industrial-inspired look, then products like the Hudson Reed 700mm Framed Wet Room Screen are ideal.

With a structured black frame effect, complete with black support bar, the overall appearance is one of engineered precision, though the slimline design also adds elegance and understated style. Made with 8mm toughened safety glass, the screen is robust, so is therefore perfect for daily use and incredibly durable.

For a noir-effect bath, on the other hand, the Viktor Benson Taha Freestanding Double-ended Slipper Bath is an inspired choice and will bring a touch of decadence and luxury to your bathroom. Made from high-quality acrylic and with a black gloss finish, this floorstanding bath has a modern double-ended slipper design and will instantly elevate your room with its striking colour and design.

The reinforced acrylic means this is a robust bath with exceptional heat retention, while the thin ledge and smooth sides give it a sleek appearance.

Noir accessories for your bathroom

When it comes to mirrors, there are many styles to choose from and, of course, the room you have available will no doubt influence which one you select. However, a versatile option for the noir-themed bathroom is the Clear Look Tetbury Round LED Black Mirror, which has a contemporary design with an attractive minimalist black frame.

Practically, it comes with three-tone ambient lighting, which rings the outside of the mirror and is positioned in between the glass and frame, easily operated via the handy Halo Touch Sensor. An anti-fog demister is also incorporated into the design for extra convenience.

Of ample size to ensure the maximum benefit of any natural lighting, this classic mirror will add depth to your room, creating the illusion of additional space.

The Eliseo Ricci Vesu Basin Mixer in matt black, meanwhile, will bring the noir theme to your basin, giving it a refined aesthetic that can be used to match the Clear Look mirror as desired.

With a single-lever tap function for enhanced control over water flow, it can also be easily adjusted according to your preferred temperature by moving the tap sideways.

You can also pair it with a matching noir basin if you want to go for all-out on the black tone, or it will look equally as good contrasted with a white basin.

Adding a black designer radiator to your bathroom is another great way to add noir to your bathroom, with the Essentials Straight Heated Towel Radiator a popular choice for heating products. The straight sets of bars give a linear look while the matt finish will complement the black matt of the Eliseo Ricci Vesu Basin Mixer.

A noir radiator like the Essentials Straight Heated Towel Radiator will complement any décor and incorporate the black trend into your home.

With a high heat output and a contemporary look, the Essentials towel rail works well with all heating systems and is long-lasting, so is a great investment for your home.

Add daring and depth with darker tones

By blending black into your bathroom, you can achieve a modern aesthetic that exudes elegance and style. So, whether you want to create a monochrome look and go all black-and-white or prefer to integrate noir more discreetly into your bathroom through subtle placement of accessories and fixtures, the choice is yours.

Paired with quality lighting and making the most of mirrors and natural sunlight, by incorporating black in various ways, you can give your bathroom a distinctive look that is both eye-catching and bang on trend.

The beauty of black is also that it has a timeless appeal so, regardless of ongoing trends, it will stand the test of time and still look just as impressive years down the line.
