Bright and comfortable environments: 15 farmhouse-styled bathrooms to inspire you
The farmhouse style is all the rage in interior design for a good reason. It's not just perfect for kitchens and bathrooms; it's a blend of rustic charm with a modern touch that brings character to any space.
The key ingredients in the farmhouse color palette includes white, wood, and a hint of dark accents, but you can add your personal touch and mix it up. Let's check out some farmhouse-style bathroom examples:
Metro tiles, round mirrors and wooden furniture: hallmarks of this style

If you see a bathroom with light tones, Metro-styled tiles on the walls, round mirrors in simple frames, and a wooden vanity, whether it has a rustic or vintage vibe, it's probably a farmhouse-styled bathroom.
Barn doors
Ever imagined those classic country barns, especially like those in the American countryside? Well, those swinging or sliding doors, constructed with wooden planks side-by-side and reinforced with diagonal struts, are what we call barn doors. And guess what? They're a staple in farmhouse-styled furnishings - sometimes as doors, sometimes as cabinet fronts!
There is also room for using color
A classic piece of furniture in blue and with a touch of tradition, topped with a clean white shelf matching the room's overall color scheme. The walls, sporting wooden panels in stripes instead of the usual Metro tiles, and square mirrors, all contribute to creating an unmistakable farmhouse vibe.

Moreover, feel free to go for accent walls in bold colors or even opt for a sleek satin black backing, just like as shown in this photo.
Glass windows
A feature that frequently brings a modern twist to these setups is black grid windows, giving off loft vibes. They're not only used for windows, but also for the shower cubicle.
With their sleek black frames, they perfectly complement all the black accessories in these bathrooms, including faucets, handles, knobs, and more.
Stone or brick walls

Farmhouse bathrooms sometimes go for a stone or, even better, brick covering instead of the usual Metro tiles or wood. Or you can leave them in their natural color...
..or apply a light whitewash for a softer color contrast, especially if the rest of the bathroom leans towards light and cool tones.
Opting for stone or bricks, especially if they're an accent wall, adds a beautiful contrast to adjacent plastered walls. It strikes a nice balance between rustic and modern.
Shelving
You often find wooden shelves held up by sturdy metal pipes in farmhouse-styled bathrooms (and kitchens!).

Alternatively, many people also go for floating shelves – the ones you can't see the wall supports/brackets.
Apron sink: the sink with a flap

An apron sink refers to sinks with a front that looks like it's folding outward, resembling an apron tied around the waist. They're much-loved in farmhouse-styled homes, whether it's the kitchen or the bathroom.
Wood paneling

We've checked out wooden wall coverings, maybe in white, for entire walls or the trims. But feel free to clad a wall in a farmhouse bathroom with boards in their natural color, or even in a dark shade, like shown here.
Vintage furniture
If the impression you want to convey is indeed that of an old farmhouse (after all, that's the meaning of 'farmhouse style'), then using antique furniture is the key!
Vintage signs

Bringing in some "farmy" vibes with vintage-style signs or framed prints is a foolproof way to decorate these bathrooms!
