 How to Use Accent Colors in a White
and Black Bathroom
Black and white colors in the bathroom are a timeless classic combination that can be used to create a variety
of designs from elegant and sophisticate to playful and fun. A retro’ s 50 look is very simple with a black and
white bathroom color theme using a variety of black and white bathroom accessories and main elements like floor
tiles and fixtures – black toilets, black bathtubs, showers, a black and white shower curtain, black cabinets with white accents and black counter tops
on white bases.
Adding a new dimension or look to your black and white bathroom by adding in other colors can be used to bring
together your color theme as you use splashes of a third color throughout your bathroom decor.
Bright Accent Colors in Your Bathroom for Fun
If you want to give a more contemporary look to your bathroom check the latest design magazines to see what the
hot new colors are this year. The great news in 2011 is that many of the favorite in fashion colors are bold and
bright – peacock blue, turquoise, or on the more subtle end of the color wheel is taupe-grey. Of course some
classic combinations like red and hot pink always work well together with black and white but you may want to look
for a more updated theme.
Simple Ways to Introduce New Color into a White and Black
Bathroom
A simple and inexpensive way to add a new color is to paint your bathroom trims. This way you have a nice
elegant solution that is simple to update in a couple of years when new colors are in fashion. Solid colors for
your bath towels, wash clothes, bath mats and bath rugs are also another inexpensive way to add a new color that is
also easy to change out in a year or two. All of these combinations will bring a fresh new look to your bathroom –
add a few black bath products like black containers for storage to complete the look.
Bathroom Hardware & Lighting - Complete the Design
One of my favorite traditional accent colors for black and white rooms is charcoal. These colors work well
together to create a sophisticated elegant look and the grey will add a visual depth to your bathroom in contrast
to the bolder black and white. The simplest way to introduce charcoal as an accent color is to use a variety of
different bath accessories. A combination of black, white and charcoal bath towel sets are easy to find online and
can help to introduce a new design or pattern into your bathroom. Bathroom lighting and mirrors in combination are
also a very elegant way to add a third color into the combination and to create a point of focus in your bathroom.
Combine with a grey marble sink top to bring your bathroom decor together into a complete theme.
