Your bathroom is your safe haven. It's a space of relaxation where you can gather your thoughts at the beginning and end of the day. If you're looking to upgrade your bathroom, you can add accessories like space-saving storage solutions and statement rugs, or go for a full remodel, which can include graphic black tiles or painting your walls all-black for a classic feel.
Black is one of the most timeless color choices. While the hue is ideal for making an overly large space feel cozy, it also provides a more modern and sleek aesthetic than many other colors. Black bathrooms can offer a spa-like feel and a sense of calm that other parts of your home might not be able to provide. So if you're looking for design inspiration regardless of whether your space is large or small, we've rounded up 20 black bathroom ideas that are dramatic, chic and never go out of style.
