Contrast With Black

This contrasting black and light wood bathroom proves her point.

Give Your Bathroom a Fresh Look

Black doesn't have to mean dark or moody. In this fresh bathroom, mint green wainscoting and vertical subway tile lighten up the space, while the black hexagon tile provides a modern, grounded contrast.

Pair Dark Tiles With Light Grout

Meredith Owen of Meredith Owen Interiors says,

“Hex floors are great to use in rooms with unique shapes, they are also an easy way to play up a fun pattern on the floor!” In this bathroom, she created pattern by using matte black hexagon tiles with light grout for a crisp contrast.
