Full transcript

1. 0:00I want you to walk into a creative
2. 0:01mindset with me. Imagine a space that
3. 0:04you could design in any way that your
4. 0:05heart desires. A space with no
5. 0:07restrictions in respect to the rest of
6. 0:09your home style. A space that would
7. 0:11allow you to present boldness, almost
8. 0:13abrasiveness, and still rest easy that
9. 0:15you could be completely unapologetic in
10. 0:18your choice of design. That space does
11. 0:20exist and it's called the half bathroom.
12. 0:22Today, I'm going to be sharing with you
13. 0:24some items that will help you create a
14. 0:26black tile bathroom. If you're a
15. 0:28returning subscriber, hit the thumbs up.
16. 0:30If you're new here, hopefully by the end
17. 0:32of this video, you'll be a
18. 0:34subscriber. There are a multitude of
19. 0:36impressions that can be created through
20. 0:38a dark bathroom design. But today, we're
21. 0:40focusing on the influence of vintage
22. 0:43punk and somewhat gothic
23. 0:44characteristics. The goal is to have a
24. 0:47person question themselves when they
25. 0:48enter this powder room. To have their
26. 0:50emotions clash internally, fighting as
27. 0:53to whether they should feel a bit uneasy
28. 0:55or fall into a trance of intrigue as
29. 0:57their brain desperately tries to
30. 0:59interpret what you've just presented.
31. 1:01Ultimately, we want to have created such
32. 1:03a mood that our guests walk out of the
33. 1:04bathroom uttering, "And shepherds we
34. 1:07shall be." To which we can respond, "For
35. 1:09thee, my lord, for thee." In the
36. 1:11bathroom's design, we're going to flip
37. 1:13the commonly used pair of light walls,
38. 1:15dark floors, and change it to dark
39. 1:18walls, light floors. The vintage
40. 1:20influence will lie in the floor tiles we
41. 1:22use, as well as the 1950s styled single
42. 1:25sink vanity. In all truth, we're really
43. 1:27just creating a black modernized version
44. 1:30of our grandfather's bathroom. For the
45. 1:32look we're going for, I'm going to
46. 1:34recommend a solid black glossy subway
47. 1:37tile. If we were to stray away from the
48. 1:39standard rectangular tile, we would be
49. 1:42getting too far away from the origins
50. 1:44we're attempting to preserve. If you
51. 1:46don't go floor to ceiling with your
52. 1:48tile, paint or wallpaper the remaining
53. 1:50portions of the wall a dark neutral
54. 1:52color. The punk and goth influences will
55. 1:54appear in the lighting fixtures and
56. 1:56mirror framing we choose. The lights can
57. 1:58be steampunk inspired designs with matte
58. 2:00or copper finishes, old castle-like
59. 2:02chandeliers, or exposed Edison bulbs,
60. 2:05just to name a few. The mirror framing
61. 2:07can be reclaimed or stained wood, thick
62. 2:09ribbon pattern designs or metal
63. 2:11materials. You can use black, wood,
64. 2:14silver, or burnt hue colors, whatever
65. 2:16you desire. The artwork you choose will
66. 2:18be the final touch that determines the
67. 2:20overall tone your bathroom implies. My
68. 2:23recommendation is to lean towards
69. 2:24portraits which have subject matter like
70. 2:27people, animals, or landscapes. Abstract
71. 2:29art would be a little too experimental
72. 2:31and non-traditional to complement the
73. 2:33roots of the style we're trying to
74. 2:35accomplish. to help you. I'm going to
75. 2:36link some materials down below that
76. 2:38might be able to get you started with
77. 2:40creating your own design. Hopefully,
78. 2:42this has been enough to start you on
79. 2:44your way to creating your own black tile
80. 2:46bathroom. If you enjoyed the video, hit
