At Half-Mile Farm, a rustic-luxe getaway in Highlands, North Carolina, this historic farmhouse offers plenty of country chic bathroom inspiration. It’s made all-the-more dramatic with a 360-degree shower curtain that wraps around the entire perimeter of the tub. Fresh, summery, country—any (and all!) of these words could describe this bathroom. A faint, flowery wallpaper sets a sweet tone, especially when paired with white board and batten, a simple sink, and eye-catching brass accessories. The rows of raw wood offers dimension and interest in a way that feels simultaneously old and new. With such variations in the wood’s stains, they also pull the colors of the wooden vanity and barn door, creating cohesion between the tones.

The gray wall color, light wood vanity cabinet, and votive candles make the setup even dreamier. Materials such as rattan are a no-brainer when it comes to coastal style thanks to their natural beauty and inherent laidback quality. Even though coastal style is known for its laidback sensibilities, that doesn’t mean you can’t throw a hint of luxury into the mix. Sometimes all you need is one standout piece of decor to transform your space. In the case of this powder room by Ocean Blu Designs, it was an octagonal rope mirror.

Bathroom Floor Plans

Vessels add instant personality and texture to any space and look great clustered together in groups of two or three. Equal parts functional and aesthetically pleasing, reed diffusers are a no-brainer for the bathroom. They’ll make the space smell pleasant, don’t take up much surface space, and do not need to be turned off when you leave the house, making them an all-around winner. A Victorian-style bath gets a rustic upgrade with a wood and metal wall-mounted shelving unit.

Consider these elements to create a cozy feeling in your bathroom. Natural stone is a good option as it will bring texture and color to your bathroom. You can go for soapstone, pebble tiles, or slate; they are the best choices because they are earthy and rich. If you want a 3D wall design, use faux logs to bring the rustic mountain cabin feel to your bathroom remodel. For the flooring, consider wide-plank hardwood in a distressed finish. The rich tones of oak, pine, or reclaimed barn wood will add warmth and character to the space.

Go for Saturated Colors

Don’t forget about finishing touches – towels, soap dispensers and objets d’art can help pull together the final look of your bathroom. Folded clean bathroom towels are a thoughtful touch in a guest bathroom. Here, Joel Fry of West One Bathrooms chose a scallop-shaped design that forms a pretty backdrop for the brushed brass tap fittings . The curvy border of the backsplash is echoed in the recessed mirror cabinets which add an Art Deco touch to this bathroom. ‘Heated towel rails are another must, keeping warm towels always ready to hand,’ continues James. Again, this should be from several sources and be controllable, with different settings to match your mood and good close-up lighting by the mirrors.
