Wood and black for the perfect balance

Do you know what coordinates beautifully with a black bathroom? Natural wood. A bathroom decorated using black and wood creates a very pleasing atmosphere. You can either opt for dark essences of wood to match the base colour or choose light-coloured wood. A black washbasin, for example, is a perfect match for a wooden vanity unit.
