Inspired by the resurgence of rich, dark colour palettes across interiors, 2018 saw the launch of a sleek Matt Black finish to the cutting-edge MPRO collection, alongside the brand new UNION range in a refined Brushed Black Chrome option.

Dark bathrooms with a confident approach to colour are gaining popularity and promise to redefine the modern bathing space.

Matt Black Paintwork

For a confident approach to matt black, consider taking the colour to the walls of your bathroom to create a dark, dramatic setting. Pair with black brassware or accents of gold, natural wood and plenty of greenery to set the scene.
