• What Colour Goes With Black Tiles in a Bathroom?

  Black tiles go with various colours to create different moods and styles in your bathroom. 

  
  

  White with black tiles creates a timeless aesthetic. This monochromatic colour scheme is especially effective with high-gloss black subway tiles, as they highlight the striking contrast with white. Grey also pairs well with black tiles to provide an understated look of sophistication in your bathroom.

  
  

  Gold, brass, or copper accents add a touch of luxury to a bathroom featuring black tiles. Other complementary accents include wood tones from wooden elements, such as a vanity or benchtop. These tones offer warmth and an inviting feel to a black-tiled bathroom.

  
  

  Black tiles are popular for Art Deco-style bathrooms. Art Deco is an influential design style that originated in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by bold geometric patterns, such as zigzags, chevrons, and sunbursts. Popular tile shapes for this style include mosaic, hexagonal, octagonal, and fan.
