There’s something just so appealing about the rustic farmhouse style, particularly when it comes to bathroom design. The laid-back beauty and simple, country charm of the design style is one that’s instantly warm and inviting. When done right, farmhouse-style can transform your bathroom into a room that immediately feels like a comforting hug as soon as you enter.
Whether you’re just starting your building or renovation journey or you’re looking for guidance on how to take your space to the next level and add that rustic touch, we’re here to help. We’ve rounded up six of the best tips to create the ultimate farmhouse-style bathroom, no matter the size or shape of the space you’re working with.
Leaning into nature by using natural materials is the best method to really embracing the essence of rustic farmhouse style. After all, what’s a country-inspired style without the beautiful elements that make up the country?
Woods, stones and timbers should be top of mind when it comes to choosing the materials to be used. Think wooden vanities and timber stools. Furniture pieces with weathered features can often provide a more authentic feel and add character to your rustic farmhouse space.
💡 Another tip is to incorporate exposed elements like timber beams into the design, this style choice can make any rustic farmhouse space Instagram-worthy when incorporated the right way.
Look to a neutral colour palette when trying to pick the perfect hues to match your chosen bathroom aesthetic. Earthy tones such as whites, creams, greys and soft browns are your best bet for the desired rustic farmhouse bathroom effect. Add accents of muted blues, greens, or even barn red for a touch of colour.
Of course, we just have to mention our Antique Brass tapware which is a staple choice for this style of bathroom design. Creating a feature of your sinks, showers and bathtubs with Antique Brass can make history come alive without feeling too dated while also drawing out that bygone-era charm.
One of the greatest drawcards of the rustic farmhouse style is the sense of nostalgia, a longing for the beauty of simpler times of yesteryear. Capture the crux of this vibe in your design by including carefully selected vintage or antique features.
Vintage-style lighting adds an ambient glow to the space. You can also try installing a pedestal basin to evoke a sense of heritage or add a timeworn treasure like a reclaimed vanity to incorporate character.
Another option is to make a claw-foot bath the focal point of your bathroom design. It’s a favoured design choice for a reason! Not to mention, it will be the perfect place to soak and relax once renovations are over.
Wall panelling provides texture and warmth to a rustic farmhouse bathroom. A bathroom that can sometimes feel a little colder than the rest of the home with so many tiles if the right design choices aren’t made to complete the look.
Short on inspiration? An ideal style choice to try is weatherboard panelling, which adds a textured characteristic that nicely complements perfectly chosen floor tiles. Warm whites or creams are usually good shades to opt for. Alternatively, for a darker look, choose timber or distressed wood panelling to create a rustic atmosphere in your farmhouse-inspired bathroom.
Antique or reclaimed styling pieces are a golden opportunity to add character to your rustic farmhouse bathroom, and the right picks can really become talking points. Not only is it great for the environment to opt for pieces that aren’t brand new, it means you will have individual pieces and a design that’s impossible to recreate to a tee.
Trawl through auction houses, online marketplaces and garage sales to find some of the best bargains and unique pieces - an antique mirror could take your styling to the next level while a reclaimed wooden basket could be an inexpensive addition. If you’ve got the time, you could even have a go at restoring and refurbishing old furniture of your own like a neglected timber stool that may have seen better days but still has some life left!
Don’t be afraid to use cosy textiles to add softness and comfort to your rustic farmhouse bathroom and make the room as inviting as possible. Cosy textiles like cotton or linen curtains, which match the natural colour palette, are highly encouraged for this space.
Meanwhile, plush towels in natural hues marry style and functionality (you’ll need to dry off eventually after soaking in that claw-foot bathtub, after all!) and provide a homely feel. A rustic woven rug placed on the floor could be just the piece you’re looking for to complete the country charm and add that comforting touch.
