The trend toward black accents in both kitchens and bath design is truly taking off.  This is not a shiny, contemporary black, but a black that beautifully brings texture and depth to the room. It’s easily incorporated through an abundant selection of matte black faucets, fixtures, mosaic tiles and clawfoot tubs newly brought to market.  The color adds a sophisticated touch to the room and makes a true statement.  While matte black easily skews modern or industrial, it also works well in more traditional or farmhouse settings, giving a current feel to the room.

Here are some simple ways to incorporate Matte Black into your bathroom.
