15 Black Bathrooms That Are Bold and Beautiful

There’s a reason that every time a color comes in style, it’s called “the new black.” Because black never goes out of style. Similarly, black bathrooms — while a little unconventional — are supremely stylish. Whether you opt for a sultry black subway tile in the shower or you choose to color drench your space with inky paint, there are several chic ways to black out your bathroom. Here are our favorite black bathrooms from top designers and the HGTV stars to give you plenty of moody inspiration.

First up is the stunning and sleek main bathroom from the HGTV Smart Home 2025, designed by Mike Jackson and Poonam Moore. From the luxurious and moody marble-look tile to the sparkling flashes of brass throughout the space, there’s no denying this bathroom was designed to impress.

Black finishes envelop this spacious spa shower designed by Tiffany Brooks, creating a sophisticated, tone-on-tone look with plenty of drama and depth. Ample natural light reflects softly across the dark surfaces, keeping the luxurious bathroom feeling open and inviting.

A bright white soaking tub appears to float in a sea of black, set against glossy floor tile and matte stacked-tile walls. Rustic wood accents warm up the rich, modern palette, while potted plants add color, texture and a natural finishing touch.

Slate wall tile, a jet-black toilet and a coordinating sink give this modern bathroom designed by Sarah Stacey its sophisticated character. A frameless glass shower preserves sightlines and allows natural light from the window to flow throughout the space, making it the perfect spot for a sun- and moisture-loving houseplant.

A black bathroom can still feel bright when crisp white elements are used strategically. Here, a white vanity and wall lighten the room, while white details in the patterned tile, trim and towels create balance and reinforce the airy look.
