The green hue of this cabinet may be the first thing that catches your eye in this sleek bathroom, but the hardware is the glue that pulls this design together. The black knobs add depth to the bottom of the cabinet, while subtly creating unity by mimicking the shape of the round mirror, stool, and lights. To finish off the look, a black faucet beautifully contrasts against the white countertop.

The beauty of black hardware is how easy to mix and match since it’s a commonly available finish. The bathroom featured above embellishes a serene blue vanity with a mix of black cabinet knobs and drawer pulls. The black hue not only ties in with the towel holder and faucets but the shapes are repeated throughout the design as well. The horizontal pulls call back to the shiplap and other clean lines, while the square knobs mimic the white space found on the floor tiles.

In half baths without much room to play around with fancy vanities, small details can make or break the design. Luckily, this rustic farmhouse bathroom had already done its homework! The matte black faucet, toilet paper holder, towel bar, and doorknobs sprinkled throughout the design are pure perfection, echoing the black patterned flooring and metal mirror frame. Plus, they beautifully juxtapose the lighter elements and the shabby chic feel of the distressed window frame and salvaged wood art.

Keeping it Simple

Simple black hardware is fantastic, especially in minimalist bathrooms and spaces that like to play with patterns. The pulls, faucet, and mirror may look simple in this bathroom, but they are a great choice.  Their simplicity ensures that the patterns like the crisscross shower curtains, honeycomb floor, and cross patterned rug don’t get overpowered.

Black shower hardware is also something worth considering. Here, a black shower head and faucet effortlessly contrast the white tub and surround. Even when the plaid curtain is closed, you’ll still get a glimpse of black thanks to the black curtain rod. The hardware pulls the black coloring of the floor higher into the room and draws the eye upward.

If you’re looking for a way to introduce other black elements to mimic your black bathroom hardware, then consider using your vertical space. This modern bathroom used dynamic black wainscoting and a bold farmhouse sign to tie the industrial lighting, mirror, and vanity hardware together. A vibrant snake plant adds a fresh pop of green to the otherwise neutral space to top off the look.

Greige Farmhouse Bathroom

For a warm and welcoming look with a dynamic edge, why not introduce black bathroom hardware into a greige bathroom? The greige shiplap bridges the contrast between the white porcelain and black accents. Thanks to the neutral shade, elements like the faucet, trash can, and duo of black framed prints still stand out, but they have a much more relaxed look than a stark black and white contrast.

Black hardware can look stunning against dark cabinets. This bathroom features a charcoal gray cabinet with black pulls, sandy counters, and a black faucet. The whole color scheme pulls from the earthy accent wall juxtaposing the tub in the adjacent bathing area. The subtlety of the black hardware allows this room to go bold and ornate with other elements, such as the patterned carpet and marbled countertop.

30 Minimalist Bathroom Ideas for Creating a Spa-Like Retreat

A bathroom is a place for rejuvenation. It’s where you get ready to take on the day and unwind at night.

These distraction-free zones are typically pretty minimal.

11 Things You Need To Know Before Painting Doors Black

Sophisticated, stunning, and striking are all words that come to mind when I think of black doors. This dramatic hue fits perfectly with a classic or traditional style, elevates modern and contemporary dwellings, and adds a unique update to farmhouse design. Black doors are often associated with strength, power, and opportunity, which makes them a popular choice on so many levels (certapro.com/blog/residential/front-door-color-meanings/#::text=When used to paint front,connected to stillness and wealth).

I’m a proponent of making a statement from the front door that lets visitors know what to expect when they enter your home. Continuing black doors throughout your home is a phenomenal strategy to create continuity and flow throughout your home. But it doesn’t have to stop there! Black trim, accent pieces, and furniture can help achieve a similar look depending on your style and taste. Don’t believe me? Then, check out this sensational gallery of homes with black doors below and get ready to be impressed.

Do I Need a Formal Dining Room, or Is It a Waste of Space?

When my husband and I were purchasing our first home, my mother-in-law asked me whether or not I would miss having a formal dining room. Considering it was just the two of us then, the answer was a resounding “No!” After all, I was not about to host grand dinner parties or family gatherings, and we had plenty of family to visit for holidays and celebrations. And unfortunately, our budget did not stretch to a large enough home to include a separate dining room.

Fast-forward six years, and my answer may have changed. Now, with two kids, we’re much more likely to host family gatherings, and having a large, separate area would be a dream. Many of our readers and contributors agree with me, while others find that a larger kitchen serves the same function with more connectivity (jjonesdesignco.com/blogs/the-great-debate-open-concept-vs-traditional-floor-plans). If you’re unsure where your opinion lies, read on for the best advice and insights our readers can offer. You may find you end up changing your mind after seeing what they have to say!
