Black and White Bathroom – Contrast Study

February 7, 2017
  • Share

Random story…somewhat related to but kind of not related to this pretty black and white bathroom in this post…bottom line is due to my endless house hunt, I am on endless search for ideas for the perfect kitchen, bath, floors, lighting and more.

Okay…here goes the somewhat random story…bear with me…

So I was at a Super Bowl party the other day with SFJ.  My friend RB (or RBD) and her hubby JS had invited us to their lovely home.  I must admit SJF and I went to the party to be totally social and to hang out with friends…not for the game.  The set up RBD and JS had going was quite spectacular. Catered food, a bar, servers asking you what you needed at every moment, lots of people milling, comfy seating for game watching.  It was like glamping for Super Bowl.  They also had 3 televisions going.  One was outside (such a luxury to watch the game by their pool).  One was in her husband’s man cave, a chic designer version of a man cave.  The last was t.v. was in a very refined den.  SFJ and I were in the den sitting in the room with all of the people who were just watching the commercials when RB’s friend K made me feel so much better about my house hunt…

Someone in the room watching the Super Bowl commercials only asked me how my hunt was going.  I told them I had made offers on 6 houses and had not gotten one…yes…6 houses!! Arghhhh…. Then K, who I have known for years said, “Don’t worry, I made 14 offers on houses before I got mine.”  Metaphorically, the ceiling opened, the skies cleared, birds started chirping, rainbows appeared and rays of glorious sunlight lit the room…an epiphany…I wasn’t a crazy kooky house hunter who would never find a house after all.  Thanks to K, I finally felt normal about my picky and very laborious house hunt.   Thank you K!  And thank you to RBD for inviting us to her lovely lovely home…filled with so many design ideas.

Anyhoooo….now the loose tie in to this black and white bathroom…I am collecting all ideas for the perfect bath…and I will continue to so until I find my next spot!!

I like this black and white bathroom with strong contrasting lines.  The white subway tile with the black grout on the shower walls, the steel window frame shower glass door, the multifaceted pendant light and the lovely black and white cement tile floor.  I think I will do a cement tile floor definitely in my mythical new bath in my unfound new house.  Yes I will.

What do you think of the high contrast in this black and white bathroom?  Too bold or just right? Like or love?

    Over the last couple of years, I have discovered I also love high contrast, so I say GO FOR IT! As long as you keep things simple and add some element of warmth, I think you will be pleased with b/w contrast.

    Happy house hunting and may it be quicker than #14!

    This bathroom is about as large as my apartment, but I L-O-V-E it! I too am collecting ideas for my Forever Home, where I can design/paint/sew and sell. Been looking at lots in the area but still coming up short. Have the house plans and most of the furniture I’ll need, it’ll be modest but functional. I also work for West Elm so finding new items won’t be a problem.

    Just wanted to say how much I enjoy reading and gleaning inspiration from your blog….

    That bathroom on the top is gorgeous, and I agree that RBD & JS’s home is stunning. I hope you find your home sooner than 14!! Xo

This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
