Trend Alert: Black and White Walls in The Bathroom
Today we are talking trends and particularly the latest interior trends making waves in bathroom designs this season. Gone are the days of monotone and even sterile bathroom environments. 2018 welcomes modern prints, vibrant patterns and striking wallpaper and tile installations that can totally transform any bathroom space. Without completely overwhelming the senses, the latest trend draws us in with beautiful statement walls in black and white – adding style and perfection to any contemporary bathroom.
Black and white have always been a classic combination. In the bathroom, you can completely elevate your style with this winning colour palette. A statement wall in black and white is the perfect addition to your guest loo or ensuite bathroom. Think gorgeous wallpaper, mosaics or a custom tiled installation in this simple colour scheme for the ultimate look that is perfectly on trend this year. Get the look by focussing on a single feature wall or you may decide to deck out every wall of the bathroom for real impact. We love the detailed mosaic look, which adds texture and can be customised to suit you. Black and white mosaics can be used to create any pattern to complement the look of a modern bathroom. You can also choose among different shapes of mosaic. One of our favourites at the moment is the hexagon mosaic which offers a wonderfully refreshing design to a contemporary bathroom space. Wallpaper is also a winner and can infuse your modern bathroom with a magical ambience. Choose a striking print or pattern and allow the wallpaper to become the taking point in the bathroom. This is particularly successful in smaller bathrooms or the guest loo. A bold print is all it takes to evoke an elegant and sophisticated ambience here. Black and white is ideal for classic minimalist bathrooms but can also be used to enhance the style of a modern or futuristic look. You can tone it down with a simple tile installation or go bold with beautiful wallpaper boasting a dramatic print. Whatever your choice, you can’t go wrong with black and white! From the wall behind the sink or toilet to the shower – black and white tiles are on trend too and can bring pattern and shine to any bathroom. Look at this amazing installation in this modern bathroom (below) and you’ll soon agree that black and white is here to stay!
