A little less is often a lot more… …black accents continue to trend in bathrooms.

Black can be used in a variety of ways in your bathroom but ‘Black Accents’ are here to stay! Consider black shower screen frames, black taps, black shower heads, shower valves and accessories, black wastes and traps, black radiators and radiator valves and not forgetting black bathroom accessories .

Black accents bring the popular urban influence to our homes and are especially suited to modern, contemporary living. The popular New York Industrial styling has been used by interior designers over the last few years with inspiration taken from Crittal design.

Graeme Borchard, MD of UK Bathrooms - the UK’s leading online retailer for premium bathrooms comments “Industrial style doesn’t have to mean hard, cold surfaces or a lack of warmth and finesse, it can mean chic and bright. It’s about your choice of materials, textures and the way these are used.”

 A black shower screen, with black taps, black shower, black towel radiator and valves will add beautiful black accents to your bathroom space then add wooden features or wooden flooring to ensure the overall look is not only aesthetically pleasing but gives of a warmth to the beholder. To ensure you achieve that New York Urban style add the Abacus Concept Noir 50cm Basin and Black Washstand, with the additional option of an oak shelf. This super black metal washstand makes an exquisite statement and the additional shelf is ideal for your freshly laundered towels or practical storage. The stand comes complete with a Villeroy & Boch Memento basin and is available in 2 sizes.  

“Abacus Bathrooms is a brand that really considers every aspect of a new bathroom. You can complete the look with their black flushplate and black bathroom accessories.” continues Graeme.

Incorporating black accents into your new space will bring it bang up to date for a fresh, industrial yet contemporary feel.
