Bath Accessories - A Study In Black And White

Bath accessories can make a big change in any bathroom. Simply replacing old bath accessories with new ones can often make it look as though the entire bath has been redecorated.

Black and white bath accessories are an example of those that bring the greatest change to a bathroom. A study in just black and white, from floor to ceiling, is one way of using these two colors. Or try a study in black and white bath accessories with one other color as a backdrop.

Black and white bath accessories with red walls can produce a very dramatic look, no matter how large or small your bath is. Choose a warm red wall paper for a cozy, comforting look. Or use a deep, warm red paint on your walls. Then accent the red with black and white bath accessories.

Asian red is a good choice with black and white bath accessories. Picture a Chinese restaurant with imperial red walls and carpeting, pristine white tablecloths, and black lacquer furniture. You Can use your black and white bath accessories to achieve the same look in your bath. Paint the walls with imperial red and use a similar or darker red on the floor, either in tiles or carpeting. Black toilet seat, tub, and vanity will look solid. Add white towels and smaller accessories. A shower curtain of white with palm or bamboo trees in black silhouette could add pattern without color. A black fern leaf design is also an option.

The Asian theme could be carried further with Croscill's black and white bath accessories. Each has a black calligraphy letter on white, with words such as peace, prosperity, harmony, and happiness.

Black and White Bath Accessories to Use

Before you begin accessorizing your bath, you may want to find pictures of baths done in black and white. Look for photos in bathroom design galleries online. Visit your local home supply store to see samples of what can be done. Take time to think through your whole project, and decide which bath accessories you will want in black, which in white.

Black and white bath accessories will lend themselves to a sleek, modern look or a quaint, colonial look. Which do you want?

Do you have black and white ceramic tile in the older 4x4" size? Do you have white wainscoting on the bottom portion of the walls? You may want to accessorize with colonial, antique items.

Do you have large, marble tiles on the floor and up the wall? Are cabinets set into the wall for a sleek look? You may want to accessorize with modern, contemporary items.

The following are a few suggestions to help you get started.

1. Vanity: Many call the vanity the focal point of the bathroom. Yours could be a sleek, modern black vanity, with a black or white vessel sink on top. Or you might go the other direction, using an antique white pedestal sink.

2. Shower and window curtains: White curtains with a black design are dramatic and add character to a bathroom. Black silhouettes of tree, leaf, or flower design are good, as are geometric black designs. Choose a design for your black and white bath accessories that carries your contemporary, antique, or other style.

3. Bath mats and rugs: Break up the color of your floor with black bath mats and rugs. Remember, when doing so, that some toiletries, such as toothpaste, may contain chlorine. A drop on a black may bleach.

4. Towels: Fluffy white towels are nice with a black or white monogram at one end. You might also combine black towels and white towels, so that each towel rack will carry the black and white theme.

5. Containers and Dispensers: Black and white bath accessories should include smaller items, too, such as wastebaskets, lotion dispensers, soap dish, toothbrush holder, and tissue box cover. You may want them in black only, white only, or a combination of the two.

Helpful Tip

Planning is essential if you want your black and white bath accessories to look good. Find a design that has everything you will need. If you choose contemporary, sleek black wire wastebasket and towel holders, you will not want to use white antique "china" containers and dispensers on your vanity.

What eye shadow color would go best with a red, black and white dress?

I am a Austrian and Bavarian folk dancer and my group is having pictures tomorrow. I was wondering what eyeshadow color I should do that would match or go best with my red, black and white dirndl. For those who don't know, a dirndl is a European dress. I have blue eyes, pail skin and very red cheeks.

I would use an ivory, caramel, or sheer white color. Since your dress has some bold colors in it, you don't want to have too bold of eyes or it will clash with the dress.

You should use the ivory, caramel, or sheer white color all over the lid - unless your going to use the caramel color, then just wear from your lash line to your crease and wear a sheer highlight color from there up to your brow bone. Then use a brown/black eyeliner on the outer corner of your lid - top and bottom. Finish with mascara.

Try to bring you cheeks a shade down so they're not so red. You could use pressed/loose powder to bring the shade to a nice pink color. (The reason your cheeks shouldn't be so red is because it could clash with the lips.)

Use a red lipstick - It will take your whole look to a new level. Red lipstick will usually (unless your teeth are totally bleached white) make the appearance of your teeth look yellow. Instead of using a bright red, try using a red with blue undertones to make your smile look better and whiter.

I know you only asked about the eyeshadow, but I didn't want you to look washed out if you did light shadow, red cheeks, and nude lips. I'm just in love with makeup and thought I might as well help some more.... ( :

Hope I helped!
