We’re in love with this dramatic New York bathroom, spotted in Lonny Magazine. It’s proof that a bathroom can have a sophisticated and masculine vibe without being stuffy or boring. The owners used glossy black walls, vintage-inspired fixtures, and colorful accessories to create a unique space ideal for a gentleman’s retreat.
Don’t Be Afraid To Go Bold
Painting your walls a dark color is a great way to achieve a dramatic look without spending a bundle. But be careful–you don’t want your bathroom to turn into a cave. Choose a good quality pigment with a high gloss; the sheen will add elegance and will even temper the darkness by allowing extra light to bounce off the walls. Keep the vintage look going with a pedestal sink, old black-and-white photographs on the walls, and classic white subway and hexagonal tiles for the floor and shower. And continue adding patterns and texture with towels with a Greek key motif and a bold orange hue, and even a green porcelain garden stool.
