You can’t go wrong when seeking out a neutral tone to pair black with. Whether using a base of warm neutral such as tan or beige, or cooler ones with hints of blue and green, this colour scheme can be switched up and different materials incorporated to make it truly unique. Black finishes sit nicely with wood effect tiles or beige colours that are popular in contemporary bathrooms. Alongside a neutral palette, black can also be used to create a minimalist look, one of the more desired trends in recent times.

The rich colour works well alongside bold patterns and bright, vibrant tones due to its muted nature. Whilst bright or textured areas of a bathroom can really make a statement, scaling it back with darker accessories can keep it from becoming too loud or overbearing – try adding matte black fixtures and finishes such as shelving, tile trims or even taps.
On the other end of the spectrum, and possibly one of the most popular choices for guest bathrooms in recent years is grey – it’s effortless and easy to implement into any design. A great way to elevate a grey bathroom is to add black finishes with the overall effect being smart and minimalist.

Brass finishes have been around for what feels like forever, and it’s no surprise the trend has stood the test of time – it’s extremely versatile. More recently, brass comes with an ‘aged’ look, for the appearance of an antique addition to your bathroom. Brass lends itself to the vintage modern look which is sought after in many bathroom designs. Matte black works well alongside other brass finishes, both adding a sense of luxury and a timeless look.
Schlüter-Systems have a wide range of tile trims which can be used to complement the tile for a flowing finish or contrast it to create a striking and eye-catching look.
