Monochrome wetrooms never go out of style. The striking combination of black and white creates an elegant look that makes any wetroom stand out. At Wetroomstop, we've seen how the right products and the perfect design can turn a basic space into something special.

Creating the perfect monochrome wetroom is not just about adding black and white tiles to the wall. It's about balance, texture, and clever design choices that make your space unique. Whether you are working with a small ensuite or a spacious family wetroom, the monochrome palette offers endless possibilities.

This guide explores the ins and outs of designing a monochrome wetroom that is stylish and practical. From choosing the right materials to adding those all-important finishing touches, we've got you covered. 

Why Go for a Monochrome Wetroom?

A timeless monochrome wetroom blends classic black and white with modern features. This look works in old and new homes, giving you a wetroom that'll look great for years. The challenge is choosing the right materials and balancing light and dark elements.

Balancing Black and White in Your Wetroom

The 60-30-10 Rule for Monochrome Magic

Here's how to nail the balance:

• 60% main colour (usually white walls).

• 30% secondary colour (black accents).

• 10% accent pieces (black hardware for a modern touch).

Creating Contrast

• Black fixtures pop against white tiles.

• Dark floor tiles look great with white walls.

• Add a patterned feature wall.

• Use black shower frames to break things up.

Adding Interest to Your Monochrome Wetroom

A black and white wetroom does not have to be boring. In fact, this classic colour combo gives you plenty of room to get creative. Here's how you can add some wow factor to your monochrome wetroom:

• Mix up your tiles:
  
  

• Try large white tiles on the walls with small black mosaic tiles on the floor.

• Use hexagonal tiles for a modern geometric look.

• Create a feature wall with patterned black and white tiles.

• Play with texture:
  
  

• Pair smooth, glossy tiles with textured matte tiles.

• Add a 3D tile feature for depth and interest.

• Use natural stone for a touch of luxury.

• Get creative with grout:
  
  

• Use black grout with white tiles for a striking effect.

• Try grey grout for a softer contrast.

• Add metallic accents:
  
  

• Install chrome or brass fixtures for a touch of glamour.

• Use a metallic-framed mirror as a focal point.

• Bring in some greenery:
  
  

• Add plants that thrive in humid environments.
