Matt Black Accents for the On-Trend Bathroom
Stay on-trend by choosing matt black accents for your new bathroom. The rest of the bathroom can be a riot of colour or an oasis of calm whites and peaceful neutrals, but you’ll be totally on-trend with some carefully chosen matt black accent pieces. Whether it’s an elegant tap, a bold black radiator or a more subtle black outline for a framed mirror, a touch of matt black will add style and substance.
1 – The Matt Black Freestanding Bath Tap
A freestanding tap has to be one of the most striking accents possible in a new bathroom! It will immediately grab the attention, even if there’s a stunning bath in position too! This is our Trent Matt Freestanding Bath Shower Mixer Tap. It looks tall and elegant, with a circular base, a rounder operating lever and a sleek hand shower. Don’t forget, a shower handset makes it quick and easy to rinse out the bath after use – always helpful.
2 – A wall-Mounted Bath Filler
Go for a wall-mounted option to create an interesting focal point in the new bathroom. A wall-mounted bath filler is a good solution if you have chosen a freestanding bath (the other tap option is a floor-mounted freestanding design). Our Lea Matt Black Wall Mounted Bath Filler has crisp, straight lines and is a fabulous contrast to white sanitary ware and as shown here, looks brilliant when placed on a brick wall. Perfect for that industrial-style look.
3 – Shower Screen & Fittings in Matt Black
Perfect proof that matt black fittings in the bathroom don’t have to be overbearing, and that they can add a very sleek accent to an otherwise simple, neutral design scheme. Our Helsinki Matt Black Premium Easy Clean shower door is available in varying sizes, from 1000mm to 1400mm wide, and pairs well with matt black shower fittings from our Galway Premium Matt Black Square collection which has thermostatic controls and includes a waterfall shower head.
4 – Matching Basin and Bath Shower Mixer Taps
Our Severn Matt Black Basin Shower Bath Mixer Tap collection could be a great idea for a bathroom re-vamp… Go for Matt Black to add a statement look. Shown here, the deck mounted bath-shower mixer set, which can be fitted onto any bath that has two standard tap-holes. The basin mixer tap has easy one-handed operation, and if you think a taller model is required, there’s also a High Rise Basin Mixer Tap that is designed to pair with basins that sit on the countertop, rather than being set into the counter surface.
5 – Matt Black Floor Tiles
Stick to a simple black and white scheme for an easy-to-work-with look. Black and white is a classic choice, won’t date, and can be adapted to work with all design options. Black accessories will contrast with white fittings, and black and white floor tiles can link all the design elements together. Try Wicker Black Pattern Matt Porcelain wall and floor tiles from Tile Mountain. The matt finish is designed to replicate traditional encaustic tiles.
6 – Choose a Matt Black Framed Mirror
Lighting is very important in the bathroom, and a good mirror-light cabinet can transform a dull or dark space very easily! If you have an internal bathroom without natural light, choose a mirror cabinet that adds light and storage space as well. This is the Olivia Black Framed Illuminated LED Mirror Cabinet with an integrated shaver socket, a heated demister pad to stop it steaming up, and a sensor touch switch. A great idea to make the most of limited space in a bathroom or cloakroom.
7 – A Matt Black Towel Radiator
Keep the bathroom warm and comfortable with a radiator, and a double-duty model that allows towels to be hung up easily is the best choice. This is the Seville Matt Black Design Flat Panel Heated Towel Rail, available in various configurations. Shown here, the five-panel version, three and four panel options are also available. It has a matt black powder coating and can be installed with all heating systems. If you want a warm floor too, consider Electric Underfloor Heating from Tile Mountain.
8 – Matt Black Handles
The Elba Graphite Grey Wall Hung Double Basin Drawer Vanity cabinet looks so simple and elegant and provides lots of storage space, as well as ticking the ‘matt black’ style box. Perfect for the main en-suite or a family bathroom, this cabinet has a matt grey finish for the cabinet itself, teamed with those all-important matt black handles. Needless to say, we suggest you choose Trent black mixer taps and a pair of Mollie Black Framed Illuminated LED Mirrors to complete the scheme.
