Black And White Ceramic Floor Tiles

We have cabinets and a mirror frame to stain or paint - what is the best way to choose the color?


We're having some problems with a bathroom re-do. The new sinks and toilet are white, the floor a mid-tone ceramic tile (light beige to chocolate brown in color) The counter top also has dark tones - it's a mixture of colors from light cream to beige to black. Selecting a wall color was a nightmare - After buying 3 neutral colors that were WRONG, we ended up with a mid-tone muted purple that is pleasing with both the floor and the counter top, but still darker than I really wanted.
(Cheyenne Rock, Behr)

We still have to stain the cabinet and mirror frame, but we won't have the luxury of correcting a bad color choice so easily as we did with the wall color. What color furniture would look good with purple walls? Should we go light? Darker? Someone suggested pickling them white...that may be perfect but I'm having trouble envisioning this. To you talented decorators out there who are merciful with the color challenged....we need help!

play around with the Behr color online visualizer, it gave me the following coordinating color suggestions for Cheyenne Rock:

Riviera Sand (# 320E-3) - this would be my choice; it would add warmth to otherwise cool colors

Oakwood Brown (# 770B-6)
Island Palm (# 460F-5)
Blue Fox (# 540E-3)
Smoked Oyster (# 780A-2)
Southern Breeze (# 450E-3)
Oyster (# W-B-720)

Bath Accessories - A Study In Black And White

Bath accessories can make a big change in any bathroom. Simply replacing old bath accessories with new ones can often make it look as though the entire bath has been redecorated.

Black and white bath accessories are an example of those that bring the greatest change to a bathroom. A study in just black and white, from floor to ceiling, is one way of using these two colors. Or try a study in black and white bath accessories with one other color as a backdrop.

Black and white bath accessories with red walls can produce a very dramatic look, no matter how large or small your bath is. Choose a warm red wall paper for a cozy, comforting look. Or use a deep, warm red paint on your walls. Then accent the red with black and white bath accessories.

Asian red is a good choice with black and white bath accessories. Picture a Chinese restaurant with imperial red walls and carpeting, pristine white tablecloths, and black lacquer furniture. You can use your black and white bath accessories to achieve the same look in your bath. Paint the walls with imperial red and use a similar or darker red on the floor, either in tiles or carpeting. Black toilet seat, tub, and vanity will look solid. Add white towels and smaller accessories. A shower curtain of white with palm or bamboo trees in black silhouette could add pattern without color. A black fern leaf design is also an option.

The Asian theme could be carried further with Croscill's black and white bath accessories. Each has a black calligraphy letter on white, with words such as peace, prosperity, harmony, and happiness.

Black and White Bath Accessories to Use

Before you begin accessorizing your bath, you may want to find pictures of baths done in black and white. Look for photos in bathroom design galleries online. Visit your local home supply store to see samples of what can be done. Take time to think through your whole project, and decide which bath accessories you will want in black, which in white.

Black and white bath accessories will lend themselves to a sleek, modern look or a quaint, colonial look. Which do you want?

Do you have black and white ceramic tile in the older 4x4" size? Do you have white wainscoting on the bottom portion of the walls? You may want to accessorize with colonial, antique items.

Do you have large, marble tiles on the floor and up the wall? Are cabinets set into the wall for a sleek look? You may want to accessorize with modern, contemporary items.

The following are a few suggestions to help you get started.

1. Vanity: Many call the vanity the focal point of the bathroom. Yours could be a sleek, modern black vanity, with a black or white vessel sink on top. Or you might go the other direction, using an antique white pedestal sink.

2. Shower and window curtains: White curtains with a black design are dramatic and add character to a bathroom. Black silhouettes of tree, leaf, or flower design are good, as are geometric black designs. Choose a design for your black and white bath accessories that carries your contemporary, antique, or other style.

3. Bath mats and rugs: Break up the color of your floor with black bath mats and rugs. Remember, when doing so, that some toiletries, such as toothpaste, may contain chlorine. A drop on a black may bleach.

4. Towels: Fluffy white towels are nice with a black or white monogram at one end. You might also combine black towels and white towels, so that each towel rack will carry the black and white theme.

5. Containers and Dispensers: Black and white bath accessories should include smaller items, too, such as wastebaskets, lotion dispensers, soap dish, toothbrush holder, and tissue box cover. You may want them in black only, white only, or a combination of the two.

Helpful Tip

Planning is essential if you want your black and white bath accessories to look good. Find a design that has everything you will need. If you choose contemporary, sleek black wire wastebasket and towel holders, you will not want to use white antique "china" containers and dispensers on your vanity.
