How To Create A Farmhouse Bathroom Decor That Looks And Feels Authentic

A little big of farmhouse-style charm here and there can go a long way toward making space feel like home. It’s mostly the warmth of the natural wood often used in such designs and the authenticity of the materials that make spaces look and feel welcoming and charming.

That being said, next time you remodel consider a farmhouse bathroom decor or even just adding a few little suggestive details here and there, enough to create a warm and inviting ambiance in the room, whatever its function may be.



It’s amazing how much a single element can change the way a room looks and feels. Take for example this bathroom. It got a beautiful makeover and a brand new rustic-industrial decor and all it took was covering one of the walls in wood. If you plan on doing something similar for your own bathroom, be sure to check out blesserhouse first.



If you’re not in the mood to change the appearance of the walls or to get new furniture for your bathroom, you can still change the ambiance and create a farmhouse-inspired decor with the help of the little things and accessories such as the light fixtures.

Other little but important things that can help give your bathroom the cozy farmhouse-style decor that you always wanted include the mirror which could have a simple wooden frame, perhaps one made of reclaimed wood for more character. A few small open shelves could also change the mood. Check out homemadelovely for more inspiring ideas.



You can also add accessories that your bathroom never had but that would make it more welcoming and comfortable overall. For example, a toilet paper dispenser/ storage module could fit in the corner and could hold a few essentials as well as a lovely little potted plant or some other sort of decoration.

In case you’re wondering, yes the farmhouse style is perfectly suited for small bathrooms too. In fact, it’s perfect for such spaces because it has a lot of character in its finishes and overall aesthetic which means the focus can be on functionality and everything else will follow. It’s also a style that goes really well with light and bright colors and that further helps to make small spaces seem larger. Check out martysmusings for more inspiration in this regard.



It can also be interesting to play around with different styles and to give your bathroom an eclectic design inspired by elements from both modern and farmhouse decors. It can be clean and simple but at the same time it can put more emphasis on the finishes used and on some of the decorations and accessories used throughout the space.



Dark colors can also suit a bathroom that is infused with farmhouse details. This dark blue looks gorgeous on the walls but doesn’t overwhelm the room. The vanity is a beautiful centerpiece and the large circular mirror and the sconces help to tone down the backdrop.

It may seem like wood and certain finishes wouldn’t really suit a bathroom but can only be determined when the entire context is taken into consideration.
