This granite has black and gray with silver.
The durability of granite makes it a smart choice for a bathroom vanity. Black granite is a sophisticated option that will enhance any decor style from modern to traditional to contemporary or eclectic. Black granite is available in solid black or with different patterns in the stone that add depth and accent colors. Select a granite that will offer the most options for your bath.
Traditional Bath
Pair your black granite vanity tops with dark cabinetry for a traditional-style bathroom. Select a tile floor that complements the cabinetry color. Another flooring option is eucalyptus or teak wood in a slightly light or darker color than the cabinetry for contrast. Since the vanity and top are dark, balance them with light taupe or green walls. With this neutral color palette, layer in pops of color depending on the season, such as red or orange in the fall, yellow and green in the spring.
Classic Bath
Black and white is a classic and timeless color scheme. The high-contrast combo provides the ideal backdrop for bright accent colors. If you are daring, paint the walls a shade of pink and layer in fushia pink towels and a zebra striped shower curtain. If you are more conservative, paint the walls a soft yellow or gray. Other accent color options are red, blue or green. Use towels, decorative storage boxes and candles to layer in color in a black and white bathroom.
Contemporary Bath
For a with black granite vanity tops, use dark cabinetry and dark floors. The color scheme of a contemporary bath is monochromatic, so keep paint in the same family as the cabinetry, or a neutral white or beige. Keep accessories to a minimum to maintain the contemporary, clean line feel. A stainless soap dispenser and two neutral towels are enough decoration. If you have space, add a little color with a plant. A contemporary bath provides an ideal backdrop for animal-print accessories and towels. Accentuate brown and black with leopard prints.
Other Accessories
Just like any other room, the bathroom isn't complete with out artwork. Accentuate the black granite by hanging artwork with black frames. Select pieces that go with your chosen color scheme. If your bath has a lot of white or other light colors, opt for black wrought-iron towel bars to bring in more black. Cups, trash cans and decorative jars are staples in any bathroom, so make sure to select pieces that complement your bathroom's decor.
