In all parts of the home, black and white decor is going strong—and will go on strong for quite a while. It’s easy, simple, and flexible. Black and white lets you use your favorite accent color for just a dash of happy. You can also quickly change that accent color with small touches like accessories, linens, a new mirror, or a new coat of paint on the door frame. Let’s have a look at some beautiful black and white bathrooms. It still has the elegance of black and white, but with a little more softness. Dark grey is just as easily matched with an accent color of your choice. In this case, the touch of green through the plant growing near the bathtub is all this bathroom needs to be welcoming and cheery, rather than cold and stark. And with just a dash of red via the cushion and the reflection in the mirror, this bathroom really stands out. Black and white can be just as quirky and personal as more colorfully eclectic decor. All you need is a basic idea, a few interesting items, and an eye for good placement. To avoid making this room seem small and claustrophobic, the design here is focused on white (and a lot of it!) with black to accentuate mirrors, windows, and doors. The touch of color via the flower vase on the countertop feel like just the right amount, and enhances rather than distracts from the overall design. And, of course, the flooring is possibly the best thing about this space. This wonderfully ornamented mosaic tile adds movement and visual interest, and stands in contrast to the more geometrical, minimalist style of the rest of the room. This trendy bathroom designed by Greg Natale perfectly balances the strong black geometrical pattern on the walls with golden softness of the mirror and the hardware. Notice the cute flowers in a very simple white pot, which almost disappears in the background. And the French-style doors are simply the best here. It adds a really nice and open dimension to this small, but well-designed space. Not afraid to use plenty of the color black, this bathroom brings together the best of both shades. The floor is elegant and has just enough pattern to be visually interesting; the walls and other vertical spaces are dominated by white and framed with just enough black to bring a good visual structure. We especially like how the shower is almost lost in the room, as if it wasn’t really there. This gives the design itself all the space it needs to shine and impress.

The tight and quick-moving herringbone pattern on the wall stands in contrast to the calmed-down feel of the hexagon on the floor. The black pentagon flower pot on the white, wall-mounted narrow sink is a stroke of inspiration. And in this small space, the side faucet is a smart choice. This bathroom from Sarah Sherman Samuel is design-savvy, clever, beautiful, and definitely something to tell the neighbors about. But what really makes it interesting is its combination of patterns in the tile. Three different patterns, two on the walls and one on the floor, make this bathroom the opposite of boring. Some might say it’s a little bit overwhelming, especially if your tastes are more minimal. But if this is your kind of thing, this bathroom definitely has movement and personality. Everything has been carefully chosen to fit the theme, along with the bright touches of red that really make a difference here. Instead of a boring bathroom, you get something original and quite visually striking.
