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.

Here’s what happens when I start playing with tablHere’s what happens when I start playing with tablescapes in my dining room. ✨
I love layering pieces I already have, mixing textures, adding a little greenery, and seeing how a few small details can completely change the feel of the table.
There’s no one right way to create a beautiful tablescape. For me, it’s about making it feel collected, welcoming, and ready for people to sit down, stay awhile, and make memories.
These are a few of the tablescapes I’ve created. Which one is your favorite?
Comment TABLE below and we’ll send you more tablescape ideas to inspire your next gathering.

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍
