Instructions
1. Think accessories. Bathroom accessories, such as toothbrush holders, soap dishes and tissue dispensers come in a variety of textures and are available in the color black. Mismatching accessories look tacky, so make sure to match all the accessories. Even decorative accessories, such as statues or lamps, should mesh well with the other decor.
2. Add some room. Dark colors can make a room seem smaller. To counter this effect, add lights and mirrors. If there's enough room, add a lamp on the counter. Mirrors on the wall in different sizes and shapes work well to enhance the room's size.
3. Coordinate. Make sure all the blacks match, especially fabrics. If buying fabrics from separate stores, take other fabrics in to compare them and make sure they match. It's best to verify fabrics match prior to bringing them home to avoid multiple trips to the store.
4. Wash carefully. Make sure to keep towels, rugs and other black fabrics at their best by washing them in cold water. To ensure they stay matching, wash them all together in the same load. Use detergent specially formulated for black laundry, and wash in cold water to minimize fading.
5. Keep it clean. Black naturally shows dirt and buildup. Regular cleaning keeps black looking black, and not black with white spots. The bathroom is a room that attracts dirt and grime, from soap residue to toothpaste spots, so clean regularly. A black bathroom is not easy to keep looking it's best, but the beauty of a black bathroom is well worth the effort.
6. Paint the walls. Black walls complete the look when decorating a bathroom in black. Keep in mind that to get the walls black, it will take a few coats. Also, changing the color later will be difficult, requiring a base coat and several layers of paint over the black.
