Dramatic bathroom
Trade in floor-to-ceiling white for the timeless elegance of black with richly painted walls – just remember to give the space plenty of natural light and reflective surfaces to veer it away from feeling dreary.

Chic charcoal
If you’re not ready to introduce the blackest-of-blacks into your home, try a lighter shade of the hue. A charcoal-coloured wall gives you the same high-impact drama of a deep ebony, but with an added softness.
