Adding a dark shade to your floor
Black will allow you to give elegance and to highlight the elements of your bathroom such as the furniture, the bathtub or your shower. Many solutions exist to cover your floor whether it is parquet, tiles or others.
You will need to choose the floor covering you prefer and its finish, bearing in mind that a glossy finish will require more maintenance than a matt colour. There are also different shades and shapes that will bring very different styles to your space, so don't hesitate to visit physical shops to make your choice.
Remember to combine black, in fact if you install a black floor, it is essential to soften the room with lighter colours. White, beige or even wood accents will go perfectly with the dark floor.
Don't forget that for your shower, high quality solid surface shower trays exist in black, they will perfectly replace the tiles of a shower and will not have any apparent joint unlike tiles which need a silicone joint. It is also easier to install, saves you time and can be repaired if it breaks.

Darken your walls with black
Black, if you can call it a colour, is one, if not the only, shade that significantly transforms your bathroom. However, be careful to use it sparingly and apply it to a perfectly straight and flawless wall if you want a flawless finish.
Positioned in certain areas such as the shower, it will serve to delimit spaces and give an impression of grandeur to the room. Otherwise a black wall will highlight the elements of the room such as a washbasin or a bathtub.
Finally, as with the floor, it is important to think about combining colours to create a harmonious and elegant space.
Furniture with character
A black piece of furniture rhymes with elegance and will bring a real chic side. It can easily be installed on a white, marbled or light wall. Moreover, if you wish to keep a very dark and cosy spirit, it is totally possible to place it on a black wall, however, pay attention to the colour and its glossy or matt finish, they must be identical or relatively similar.

The elements in black
A black Solid surface washbasin or a black shower tray are pieces that will stand out in your bathroom. With Solid surface you can choose the finish from matte to glossy to satin, a wide choice that will allow you to adapt it to the style you want. A free-standing basin can also be a more discreet solution if it is placed on a wooden or white top. Finally, hanging basins are also available if you want different possibilities for your basin.
For bathtubs, it is rare to find an entirely black set, we more often find the exterior in black and the interior in white. This solution makes it easier to maintain and makes the water clearer when filled.
Black shower trays, as mentioned before, are not to be overlooked as they are easy to maintain, bring a very aesthetic black touch to your space and are easy to install.
