Modern Black Bathrooms

March 15, 2013 by Jane F 3 Comments

Modern black bathrooms have become a major trend with no sign of diminishing. The appeal of black as a neutral and the ease of leavening it with white elements – but no other color – seems to inspire great designers and DIY folk alike. It’s a masculine take on a bath and black lends itself perfectly to modern and minimalist design ideas whether used in solid blocks or prints.

The small Stockholm apartment of Swedish designer Jimmy Schonning [top & below] features black walls and floor, fully tiled in the way championed by mid-20th century architects – using small-scale square field tiles. With the white sink basin and light grout, it has a modern masculinity that reminds me of a tuxedo. Hopefully there is excellent lighting and, of course, a reflective white ceiling helps. I like the tall Mora kitchen faucet, another minimalist gesture.

At first glance, I thought this might be the same b&w pattern we loved in the Moroccan Tile Bath Allison wrote about last year – but no.  The all-over patterning makes us adore cement tiles, especially this  custom look from Carocim (a French supplier). These were commissioned by Italian design icon Paola Navone who designed the entire house for a prominent Italian couple. A quartet of vintage sauna lights, added in the shower, keep it from feeling too closed-in.

She also repeated the combination of tile and wide-plank wood floors used elsewhere in the house – a vintage idea that has yet to gain traction but looks  modern, fresh and practical to me.
