15 Bathrooms With Black Fixtures to Inspire Your Next Reno Project

Be Brutalist

Pin

Adding a touch of Brutalist style to this bathroom, the concrete slab sink rests on a contrasting warm wood vanity and wraps upward to create a backsplash for the industrial pipe–evoking wall-mounted faucet. Meanwhile, white shiplap paneling meets a fun graphic wallpaper above with a black cage utility light–evoking sconce and black-stone tiling at the floor.

Go Dark

Pin

It’s okay to layer dark colors, as demonstrated here. These black deck-mount faucets look perfectly matched to the charcoal tones of the double vanity countertop and backsplash ledge, but the stony texture of the latter provide just enough contrast to create depth rather than visually swallowing up the faucets.

Meanwhile, beige floor tiles, an espresso wood–framed mirror, and beige vanity front contribute to the earthy palette.

Lighten Up

Pin

Versatile as they are, black faucets—whether in the bath or kitchen—perfectly pair with light and bright finishes as shown here, where the designer chose a light blond-tone wood vanity with white countertop. Grouped together with a minimal gooseneck-arched faucet, it has a Scandinavian-style feel.

Square Things Off

Pin

If you’re furnishing a bath that’s modern or transitional in style, consider shopping for matte-black fixtures with right angles and edges. From faucets and handles to showerheads and cabinetry hardware, squared components in black possess a minimalist look but really perform like chameleons blending into any style of backdrop.

In this case, it’s a spa-evoking transitional setting with a wood vanity, an extra-wide marble-look countertop, black-framed arched mirrors, and brass vertically mounted double sconces.

Opt for Farmhouse Style

Pin

If you think you can’t pull off black fixtures with a quaint farmhouse look, think again. This oversized white farmhouse basin sink perches atop a minimal black console that complements the black finish of the traditional-style faucet, utility light–inspired sconces, wall mirror, and towel ring. Powder-blue walls and white window trim round out the design.

Create Drama

Pin

Large-format white stone tiles give way to the black wall-mounted faucet above a dramatic black-marble slab vanity and sink. Adding further visual drama is the slatted shou sugi ban (a burnt wood treatment) surface used for the vanity front and the storage wall to the side.

Strike a Contrast

Pin

This designer presents a classically crisp black-and-white mix, pairing black sink and shower fixtures with white wall tiles while the pitched ceiling above sports an unexpected black-paint finish.

The floor tiles reinforce the palette with their bold southwestern geometric pattern while brass tones in the hexagonal mirror and stick-form light sconce and wood drawer fronts warm things up.

Cross Over

Pin

Wall mounted cross handles—which, depending on your personal preference, can be installed in a plus or X position—lend an industrial-chic character as well as create a subtle yet striking graphic, even in this powder room where the handles and faucet are mounted onto a matching black backsplash.

The texture of this black surface makes it work, making the fixtures visually pop, while all the other finishes, from putty-hued beadboard and terracotta-print wallpaper to weathered wood softens the overall aesthetic.

Imbue Spa Styling

Pin

Vessel sinks have a tranquil quality about them, resting atop the vanity as opposed to inside it or underneath the vanity’s countertop. And, fortunately, they pair perfectly well with black faucets, whether wall- or deck-mounted.

Here the designer uses the fixtures in combination with rectangular white vessels, a wall-mounted medium-toned wood vanity, and marble slabs with book-matched striated veining.

Bring the Outdoors In

Pin

Nature-evoking, modernist, and minimalist at once, this bath’s sink wall features a stunning grid of square forest-green tiles with contrasting light grout lines. The wall-mounted black faucets hover over a double vanity composed of a creamy quartz countertop, undermount sinks, and a warm wood vanity. Rounding out the mix is a terrazzo-like floor sporting a spectrum of earthy gray tones.

Play the Blues

Pin

Don’t be afraid to mix and match black with other colors, in this case classic navy blue. Here the designer mingled a blue vanity with a white marble countertop, subway tiles, and a matte-black single-hole gooseneck faucet.

Or Stay Neutral

Pin

Monochromatic beige tones create a serene and neutral backdrop while the black fixtures—including a sink faucet and a tub filler above an eye-catching freestanding unit—function as unobtrusive accents.

The designer mixes in wood and soft silhouettes, such as the oblong-shaped tub, bell-shaped light pendant above, and arched wall above the vanity and maximizes light through windows, a full-height frameless glass shower wall, and a large mirror within the arched niche.

Use a Statement Piece

Pin

In this bath, the black faucet has aesthetic appeal but it sit above the true centerpiece of the room, a striking wall-mounted marble block sink that’s defined by big and bold black swirls.

A minimalist cylindrical pendant once again references the hue and adds an industrial feel while the muted neutral wall and light parquet wood floor imbue the space with warmth.

Soak It In

Pin

A black floor-mounted gooseneck tub filler easily pairs with a luxurious white egg-shaped freestanding tub in this bath space while white marble with gray veining on the floor and wall tie it all together. A finishing touch, a black bath tray beckons one to in for a long soak.

Make It Moody

Pin

Here the designer goes all out with moody drama, from the black faucet mounted onto black walls to a mud-colored, rough-hewn stone–evoking vessel sink atop a deep chestnut-brown wood vanity. Meanwhile, bronze light sconces and a complementing wall mirror with an Art Nouveau-ish feel only further the drama.
