Bath

THIS OR THAT: THE BLACK & WHITE BATHROOM!

November 26, 2012
  • Share
Jessica Lagrange's black and white tiled bath tub and white towel holder stand
Bath 1 – Love the use of black accent tile laid in a graphic pattern in this small white bath. (above)

I am obsessed with all things black and white lately. Don’t know why…but I am. I love the idea of using the color combination in a bathroom. A predominately white bath using with touches of black.  Perfection.  Clean. Simple. Stylish.

So today I bring you the black & white bath…and you decide which one you like best…THIS OR THAT?

russell groves's black and white bathroom with black and white striped tile floor, two pedestal sinks and long mirror with white paneled wall with black dividers
Bath 2 – Love the stripe black and white marble floor and the narrow pencil black highlight tiles used on the wall in this modern bath (above and below)
white freestanding tube in russell groves's black and white bathroom
michael mundy's black and white bathroom with white freestanding tub, black lacquer trimed door, glossy brass faucet pulls, and carrara marble floors, walls and counters
Bath 3 – High gloss black paint is used on doors and window trim to contrast against the elegant white marble in this classic bath. (above)
mcintyre bills' black white bathroom bath with black tiles on the floor, black and white subway tiles on the walls, a white freestanding tub with white shower curtain and a white pedestal sink
Bath 4 – Half black, half white…polished subway tiles create a two toned look here. (above)

So which of these baths do you like best?  I am gravitating towards Bath 3.  Which do you prefer?  Please weigh in on the comments below!

Happy Monday!

P.S. Hope you had a fantastic long weekend.  I did. Thanksgiving was great.  Loved seeing family.  Then I managed to get a little COCOCOZY work done too (had to apply for a patent and register several copyrights for my new 2013 designs…I know…the lawyer in me came out this weekend).  I saw some friends. And, I also got some rest and relaxation in too.  A great weekend really!

P.P.S.  Now the countdown begins…Christmas is right around the corner!!!

    I actually love it all! It’s really hard to screw up a black and white tiled bathroom in my opinion…some things just work!

    All but the second bathroom for me. I love vintage style baths so the others are more my kind.

    Love them all, but prefer the subtle touch of black over the all the black (not the rugby team)look. I just did my WIR all black and I love it, but no one else sees it, so it’s a little OTT just for me. I think if you are renovating you should do what you love, and if other people hate it – oh well.

    Definitely number 3. It’s the least sterile looking one, and it’s classic, cozy and elegant.

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
