When used in interior design, black is an unconventional color, unlike white, beige or neutrals in general. There’s a fear of making the space too dark or small which prevents us from using this color to its full potential. In the bathroom, a black vanity can look very chic and stylish and there are lots of other ways in which to introduce this color in here. In the case of a black bathroom vanity, for instance, these differences can also have something to do with the type of material or finish used.
A pedestal vanity is highly versatile and the main advantage of getting one is the fact that it takes up little space in the bathroom. It’s easy to install and quite simple overall but it doesn’t offer any sort of storage or counter space.
This type of vanity comes in a variety of different shapes and offers plenty of freedom in terms of overall size, storage and additional features. A vanity cabinet gives you some storage in the form of drawers, shelves or cubbies and often also includes a countertop as well. The two main types of vanity countertops are the integrated and the cut-out ones and in turn these can be further divided into several subcategories.
The other major type is the cut-out tops which basically have a large cutout that the sink fit into. Both integrated and cut-out tops can accommodate single, double or multiple sinks or basins. The Gracie vanity set by Bemma features a stylish and classic design with simple and elegant lines.
The black body is complemented by brass accents which balance out the color palette together with the beautiful white marble top. It has plenty of storage and a double sink white top with a bit of counter space in between. The Eneas vanity is very compact but that doesn’t come at the cost of a beautiful aesthetic or a lack of storage.
The beautiful white finish of the quartz top is the perfect compliment to this matte black bathroom vanity and its solid yes sleek design. The top is fitted with two matching sinks, each with a generous amount of storage underneath and the bottom of the Biscayne vanity is left open with only a slatted shelf for an airy feel. The black finish gives it a refined aesthetic and the light Carrara marble top and backsplash brighten up the design and help create a smooth transition between the vanity and the space around it.
At the same time, the Thorton vanity has a lot of depth and details which give it a unique appearance. The Marguez bathroom vanity set from Orren Ellis is a very interesting one because it’s a combination of modules. The main module contains the sink and has a decent amount of storage built into it, with frosted glass door panels for an elegant aesthetic.
Black can be the accent color in the bathroom and you can combine it with a vibrant shade such as orange or green
If you’re concerned about the fact that too much black can make your bathroom look tiny, then perhaps you could add a large, wide mirror to your vanity. Add some warmth to your black bathroom vanity with a wooden counter or other similar accents
An idea would be to combine a variety of different tiles or to paint the walls an interesting color. Combine different textures or patterns to create focal points or choose a type of finish that makes your black vanity stand out.
