The main focus in this design is none other but the red vanity with white top and black sinks. This furniture piece already looks luxurious with its glossy appearance as well as the golden accents in the feet, knobs, and mirror frame.

If you have a spacious bathroom, you can take advantage of the boldness of the red and black combination to make the room looks more fabulous. An example is available in the picture of a contemporary bathroom above. To be more specific, let us take a look at the vanity.

This furniture piece has black color on the lower part and red color on the upper part. Other than the bold tone combination, the quite large size that it has makes it gains prominence. Moreover, the oversized white oval sink is also catchy.

Here is another interesting example of the use of red and black theme for bathroom decor. As you can see, this contemporary room has black and white as the main color. There is also a touch of bright red from the vanity and deep blue from a wall side.

The compatibility between the red, black, and white tone is something that we don’t have to question anymore. The thing that is quite interesting is the existence of a deep blue color in this bathroom interior.

It seems to prove that blue is another color you can also include in the bathroom decor theme. In the picture above, since the tone is deep blue, the final result of the combination is bold.

Thankfully, the bathroom also has quite a large portion of white color that boosts the brightness in there.

When the main topic is bathroom decor colors, there are so many ways we can do to apply them in the room. We can even do some experiments as long as a result is pleasant to see.

The picture above is an example. It is an eclectic bathroom in which a black double sink bathroom vanity and bright red walls are paired together. The vanity here looks interesting because it has a mirrored-like appearance that can visually make the room more spacious.

An interesting small detail that we want you to take a look at is the small black tiles separating the white tiled wall with the red wall above it. A small detail like this creates a coordinating look in the whole bathroom design too.

To create a rustic impression, you can choose a matte red color like the one shown in the picture of a custom bathroom vanity above. As you can see, the wood material of this furniture gains a red tone that can still make the piece looks natural and suitable for the rustic interior style.

Another thing that we love from this item is the use of black granite countertop that does not have a glossy surface. It makes the top compatible with the matte red vanity.

The red and black theme of this furniture piece gets even better because the hardware is also in black. Besides, if you look closely, you will also find that the fixture of the sink, including the faucets and soap holders, are also in black.

The textured appearance of this bathroom element is enough to steal attention. It gets even better because, at the lower part, it has a curve that seems to increase the decorative value.

The next thing we love from this red and black bathroom is none other but the floating vanity.
Its black color is an excellent match for the red accent wall.

Besides, the floating design is also interesting. It makes the bathroom feel more open and spacious. That is why this kind of idea is perfect to use when you have a small bathroom.

The design is unique. At a glance, it looks like it is cushioned. The fact is that it is solid tiles with a textured appearance.
