High Contrast
About to embark on a bathroom reno? This is one room in the home you can have some fun with! If you’re interested in an all-white or all-black look but don’t want your bathroom to look stark, this could be for you. Mixing dark with light creates wow-factor and layering contrasting textures and finishes will ensure a feeling of calm.

Decide whether dark or light will be your anchor. A statement piece like a vanity or bath might determine this or a large surface area colour/pattern on the walls or floor.
