Color Series: Black & White Bathrooms

Out of all the bathroom color schemes, black and white just may be the winner. Vanities, tile, countertop materials and other fixtures are readily available in black and white – making it easy to outfit your entire bathroom. Towels, shower curtains and accessories of virtually ANY color will look great as accents in a black and white bathroom.

First stop: vanity. Choosing the right vanity as a base to your design will help guide other choices. Black and white vanities can be anything from traditional to contemporary.

Once you’ve selected a vanity, you can move on to tile. Black and white tiles tend to be primarily white with black inlays or trim.

My name is Julia Ritzenthaler, Founder and President of Unique Vanities, started in 2005. I started this business as an extension of our residential remodeling business, which focused on the design and build of custom cabinetry and architectural trim. I also worked as a financial advisor for 10 years at Ameriprise Financial, helping clients make sound money decisions, including budgeting for home improvement expenses. This expertise led me to start Unique Vanities, which offers a handpicked selection of high quality bathroom vanities, sinks, mirrors and more. You can find me most days sitting in Starbucks, my second office, or in my car driving my daughter across Dallas to gymnastics training.
