Grey may have been one of the most popular styles for bathroom remodeling in the past years. But now we’re moving on to bolder, darker style. We know, just the idea of the color black on the bathroom my frighten you. It’s not always about brightness and light when it comes to bathrooms. Many modern designers are turning to the bold trend of ultra-dark and even black color palette look. We don’t often think of black like a proper shade for bathrooms because it shrinks an already small space. Black can sometimes feel a little claustrophobic, but if you’re after a timeless, classic look that also makes you feel like you’re entering a secret cave, black can be an excellent choice.

But this trend is most popular in light fixtures, vanities, mirrors, and other fixtures-especially with matte finishes. Imagine a white tile bathroom with just some touches of black, and suddenly you are thinking in elegant.
