Black Floors Create 12 Incredible Spaces
See how gorgeous black floors create alluring, dramatic and exquisite interiors
These beautiful spaces show how a black flooring can make a statement. Here are a dozen examples of ways you can make this darkest of shades light up spaces, by playing with the shape, finish, pattern and form it takes, and choosing what it is paired with.
1. Shiny black porcelain floor tiles in bathrooms bring oodles of style and glamour to this master bath. Light bounces off the glossy surface and brightens the black accents used across this bathroom.
2. This bedroom shows how the a silky black palette underfoot can feel cosy and inviting. The black and white colour scheme is made softer with additions like wooden furniture and accessories in pastel hues.

3. Black floors elevate this all-white space, which might otherwise have seemed rather flat and unexciting. The matte-finish dramatically accentuate the stark contrast of the two hues while the square tiles reflect the minimalism of the white furniture.
4. These square black flooring tiles form ‘stepping stones’ leading to the puja room and are wide enough to walk or stand on comfortably. The clear pool of water with a bed of dark and taupe pebbles gives the sense of a natural pond that needs crossing to get to the shrine. Black flooring from the living room flows on to this space as skirting, so the spaces are separate but connected.
5. Glossy black flooring takes centrestage in this monochromatic kitchen. One could also try shiny black granite flooring as an option as well.
Here, it leads the eyes to the clean lines and streamlined surfaces that dominate the room – and right back to the reflection on the floor. The ceiling’s black cornice panelling and the black base of the countertop base balance the use of all-white cabinets and island, besides tying them with the black floor.

6. Matte black effortlessly blends with the lush green plants in this semi-outdoor seating area. Black is the choice for the staircase and the area – and the plant container, too. A break in the smooth sea of black comes from the sunken bed of pebbles in which the black planter stands. With pops of vibrant red and woody brown, and plenty of natural light, the texture of black flooring reinforces the warm and cosy lounge ambience here.
7. The use of charcoal-grey and black mosaic flooring tiles in this staircase gives a cascading waterfall effect. While using the same tiles on the ceiling would seem OTT for some, the white walls break this monotony and harmonise the look.

9. The warm and subtle tones of beige in this bathroom get a lift with rectangular black tiles – a stylish counterpoint to the brick shapes on the walls and shower-stall floor. The floor is like a giant black version of the walls, with the same running-bond pattern. The white of the fixtures ties them together. The interplay between these shapes, colours and patterns exudes a subtle yet exciting energy.
10. Here’s another floor that conjures the magic of ebony and ivory to give this bathroom an elegant finish. It’s a refreshing break to see hexagonal tiles on the floor instead of classic square or rectangular ones. Touches of a white pattern amid the sea of black livens up the floor.

11. A contrast of plain and patterned black tile flooring is used to delineate levels and divide the step-down living area. The Moroccan-inspired motifs bring the old-world charm of Indian havelis, while plain black accents reinforce the idea of ‘black is beautiful’ in many different ways. The eyes travel over the room and are drawn back to the mesmerising black floor.
12. Black energises this corner, as it does the rest of the space here. The porcelain black-tiled floor is the perfect underfoot colour to accentuate the little details here, such as the translucent glass table, the lamp and the tiny spots of colour from a plant and an accessory.
