A very exciting project we are working on for a very lovely BedNest couple has had us researching bathrooms recently and more specifically marble in bathrooms. Not a bad way to spend time hey?!

Black tapware has been around for a little while now but is certainly growing in popularity and is widely available. We've loved it from the outset but have yet to actually use it in a project as I feel it takes a certain style of bathroom to really set it off.

Black tapware + marble + contemporary style - oh yes, this is the project! Here are some inspiration shots to show you what we're thinking......

I know, I know - these are clearly subway tiles and there isn't much marble but the feel is divine and can you imagine this with some plain white tiles and marble too? - 

This time I just need you to imagine a marble splashback replacing the white tiles. Marble, timber & black tapware - serious heaven? - 

This bathroom below is very nearly perfection for me - the patterned floor tile and marble on the vanity work beautifully - insert black tapware and we're done! - 

The clean, fresh and layered feel of this gorgeous bathroom from recent Sydney project Cross St with hexagonal marble tiles  and black tapware just works so beautifully - 

So, what do you think BedNesters? Can you see black tapware working in your home?
