The likes of dark greys and deep teals have certainly been featured and they make a great background to encourage bathroom features to stand out and get noticed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When black is used in bathrooms it is usually in an obviously monochrome theme mainly in the form of the signature of this style: black and white tiles. Occasionally it appears in wallpaper patterns in this d\u00e9cor. But hang-on, that could be changing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you ready for black to take over?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps following the trend for black gloss kitchen cabinets, there is now a vast array of bathroom fittings available in black. If you\u2019re looking for ways to do the all-black thing, Livinghouse has a huge range of contemporary designed bathroom fittings to bring the whole black vibe to life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>From showers to radiators<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make a statement with your shower enclosure with bespoke <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/acatalog\/Black_Shower_Wall_Panels_and_Waterproof_Bathroom_Wall_Panels.html\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">black shower-proof wall panels<\/a> or a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/acatalog\/Bespoke-Made-to-Measure-Slim-Shower-Trays.html\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">made-to-measure shower tray<\/a> or a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/acatalog\/colour-flush-walk-in-shower-tray.html\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">standard flush shower tray<\/a> all in black.
