White Bathroom with Black Accents

The combination of a white bathroom with black accents never fails to create a striking appeal that transcends both time and trends. Whether you have a modern, farmhouse, traditional, or any other kind of bathroom theme, pairing white with black is a foolproof way to design a stylish space. 

Since white is typically used to create a relaxing environment in the bathroom, opt for this shade when selecting the finishes for your walls and ceilings. Aside from plain wall tiles, other possible options include subway tiles, marble stone tiles, and shiplap, as well as wallpaper for dry areas.

Black, on the other hand, can be incorporated into smaller details such as mirror frames, tapware, shower fixtures and frames, hardware, and décor. Floor tiles with black patterned designs are also a favorite among homeowners because they instantly bring character to a white space.

In bathrooms where the walls and floors are both white, black is usually used for the furniture. Vanity and linen cabinets in black ad a touch of drama and color to a space without breaking the airiness of the interior. 

Take your pick from these 27 white bathrooms with black accents and get inspired to take the next step in elevating the elegance of your bathroom interior.

25 Creative Corner Bed Ideas Worthy of Being Shown

Corner bed ideas can provide a way to display furniture that focuses on functionality and not symmetry. While symmetrical designs can be alluring to those who love organization, a corner bed design leaves more room for movement and helps make the most of useable space.

This furniture placement is especially helpful when decorating a child’s room and leaves plenty of floor space to play. Once the bed is placed in the corner, start adding wall décor. An accent wall is a fun way to bring life to the space, but gallery walls, personalized lettering, or whimsical accents can be equally attractive. A single nightstand may be all you can fit in this newly refreshed area, but because of the furniture arrangement, a table lamp or wall-mounted sconce is enough to provide the corner with plenty of light. Explore the benefits of asymmetrical furniture placement with corner bed ideas from our gallery below.

24 Creative Ways To Incorporate Decorations Around a TV

Adding decorations around a TV takes careful planning to avoid creating an environment that is too distracting for an entertainment area. We may be tempted to put our heart and soul into every project, but in some areas, less is more.

The most effective piece to include around your TV is an entertainment console that will add a decorative aspect without stealing all the attention. You can use these pieces to display entertainment-related items or create a more refined and attractive look using décor. The placement of a TV is a decorative choice on its own. Mounting the TV above a fireplace mantel will help create an automatic and possibly unintentional feature wall.
