We’ve not seen such a focus on a specific colour since the avocado bathroom suites of the Seventies.
For decades, the majority of bathroom furniture has been white, complemented by brass or silver taps, screens and towel rails. It was a classic, timeless look, allowing homeowners to inject personality through paint choices and accessories.
However, the industrial trend of recent years has ushered in a new era of black fixtures and fittings, most commonly brassware, shower screens, enclosures and towel rails.
Black brings a touch of modernity to bathrooms, while still being neutral enough to match up with most aesthetics, which is no doubt why it has seen such a rise in popularity. It’s also the perfect option for a relatively simple bathroom upgrade.
Swapping existing chrome brassware for matt black dramatically changes the look and feel of a space, with minimal effort and cost.
