According to designers, black color perfectly harmonizes with cream shades: peach, beige, sand, and gold. And the combination with white is a classic, and therefore always a winning combination. Cream and white colors reflect light, while black absorbs it. The interior becomes more harmonious and lively. The shade for painting the walls can be chosen from.

Calm decor
When using cream-colored tiles, the interior design will be soft and calm. This will have a positive effect on your mood and well-being, and will also help you save on lighting fixtures. But if you still need them, pay attention to the ceiling lamp Opal 48403-74777 from the Austrian brand Globo.

Toilet design with black toilet
The most harmonious black toilet is in a toilet made in white, black and gray colors, as well as in various combinations thereof.
However, the placement of a black toilet against a black wall can hardly be called a universal and win-win combination. Firstly, this scheme makes the toilet not very cozy, to say the least. Secondly, the black toilet gets lost against the background of the same color tiles, losing a significant portion of its effectiveness.
The optimal color choice is a black toilet against a light wall. If you're planning on tiling your bathroom walls with black tiles, consider creating a light-colored accent piece behind the toilet.
Black sanitaryware also looks great when surrounded by completely white or light gray walls. But it is better to make the floors in such a toilet black or black and white (“checkerboard”).
If you are not afraid of darkness, place the toilet against a black wall. But think carefully before making your final decision. Just compare the degree of expressiveness of black sanitaryware against the background of dark and light walls:
To create a luxurious look, you can combine black sanitaryware and marble, granite or other stone in achromatic colors in the interior of the toilet.
To create an atmosphere of glamorous luxury, it is worth introducing the color of a noble metal - gold or silver - into the bathroom design.
Futuristic design
Futuristic design - for fans of non-standard solutions and forms. The smooth, rounded shapes of the toilet and sink in golden colors emphasize not only the exclusivity of the design, but also the special taste of the owner. For example, a toilet like this from the Santemo plumbing studio would be suitable.

What's good about a black toilet?
A black toilet, unlike a classic white one, is not suitable for every toilet. But, when used in the right environment, it can emphasize style and create the right flavor. Black sanitary ware is typical for interiors in styles such as modern minimalism and art deco. In a high-tech style toilet or bathroom, a black toilet will set a futuristic tone. In glamorous and art deco interiors it will create an atmosphere of luxury. Whatever one may say, black color is always perceived as more sophisticated and dramatic.

Another advantage of a black toilet is the “non-distribution” of this solution. It can surprise, because in a rare house you will find black sanitaryware.
Choice of cladding tone
Contrary to the opinion about the importance of the predominance of light colors when decorating the interiors of small rooms, photos on design sites make us convinced that dark colors sometimes create very elegant compositions.
- The combination of brown with beige, white, yellow, orange, honey, and amber looks extremely successful. Walls lined with glossy brown tiles with matte inserts in one of the listed bright shades create an unexpected effect, especially with good lighting.
- The combination of purple, lilac and pink fits perfectly into the interior of a small toilet. The darkest purple tone should prevail over other shades. Flat ceiling and wall lamps with matte lilac shades will not be superfluous elements. Pink should be used as accents - decorative elements of ceiling and floor skirting boards, small inserts.
- The same rules apply to creating an interior in blue, dark green, and black colors. Blue walls, dark blue or aqua floors look beautiful with white, turquoise or light blue accents. Dark green - with emerald, light green, white, the color of young grass or jade.
- Do not neglect gray tones. Pearl gray looks great as the main finish, which should be highlighted and shaded with bright accents - light blue, white, purple, emerald green or orange.

The main rule of color design for a small toilet is an emphasis on spectacular classic combinations and a sense of proportion. An interior that is too bright and colorful - combining black with red, blue, orange, white, compositions that hit the eyes and nerves, quickly become boring, cause a negative reaction and irritation.
A color scheme
A black bathroom certainly involves the use of an additional shade; it will help make the room lighter, more interesting, and warmer.
Black color goes well with many other colors, for example:
- combining it with a golden or silver shade will add luxury and shine to the interior;
- combination with green will refresh the room;
- will bring a little yellow warmth to the room;
- the addition of red will give the interior a “spice”;
- combination with pink will add romance and tenderness.
The classic option for an additional color is, of course, white. A black and white bathroom looks stylish and fashionable. White shades will visually expand the room, make it lighter, and smooth out all the darkness of the black tone.

The manufacturer of this faucet is guided by the idea of a “cocoon” in its philosophy. That is, the place where a person feels relaxation and recovers after a busy day at work. And plumbing, as one of the components of the comfort of this cocoon, should provide a person with maximum convenience.

The manufacturer himself considers this model his masterpiece due to the abundance of possible finishing variations. The new product - matte black color with a contrasting white handle - instantly became a bestseller. Perhaps because it is a very effective stylization of the Victorian era. This is exactly what English cranes were like in the 19th century. True, they were cast from cast iron and did not look so elegant.

How to choose wall and floor tiles
When choosing wall and floor tiles for a small toilet in an apartment, it is advisable to take into account the following nuances:
- Square, rectangular or irregularly shaped tiles should not be too large or small - it is better to choose a medium-sized facing material. Floor tiles may be slightly larger than wall tiles.

- The tile in the shape of an elongated diamond looks good. When you need to visually increase the height, diamonds should be laid with an elongated angle upward. If you move the walls apart, it’s the opposite.
- The visual expansion of space is facilitated by the combination of medium-sized and small tiles.
- You can visually increase the height by using narrow vertical inserts of mirror tiles in a straight, broken or shaped configuration.
- The narrow back wall, where the toilet is usually located, can be decorated with two-color tiles or use a combination of different textures - glossy and matte, embossed and smooth.
If the toilet is located opposite the front door, the back wall can be decorated with mosaics, two or three narrow shelves with decorative lamps can be installed, or a light panel with a pattern can be installed.
Black toilet and other bathroom equipment
Is it necessary to install a black sink, bidet and bathtub if the toilet is black? Not at all. If black and white colors are combined in the bathroom decoration, the pieces of equipment can also be contrasting to each other. Next to the black toilet, a black cabinet with a white sink or a white bathtub framed by black tiles looks chic.
If desired, of course, you can use only black sanitaryware. Plumbing fixtures (faucets, taps, valves, etc.) can also be made in this color.
