Shabby Chic Elements

@thegatheredloft / Instagram

Country bathrooms and shabby chic design go hand in hand. Weave in a storage cabinet like this one, which is perfectly weathered and can be used to house extra toiletries, cleaning products, and more. The wicker basket on top is also perfectly country in style and offers additional space for towels. Hooks adhered to the side of the cabinet offer even more storage for towels, robes, and beyond.

Fresh Blooms on Display

@ahomefitforkings / Instagram

Brighten up your bathroom with some blooms. If they come from your own yard, even better, but you can also take them to the farmer's market. Country bathrooms are known for their small doses of charm, by no means are they bland, sterile-feeling spaces.

Country Bathroom With Artful Accents

@old_cottage_life / Instagram

Don't shy away from hanging art in the bathroom to cozy up the space a bit. Of course, due to the presence of water and humidity, this isn't the place to display your nicest works, but you can shop secondhand for an affordable, stylish option that isn't too precious.

Classic Stripes

If you like the idea of a skirted sink but aren't into the idea of such a busy pattern, try a striped textile instead. Stripes and country spaces go together perfectly. Sink skirts are easy to DIY using leftover fabric that you may already have on hand.

Wooden Warmth

@little.cottage.in.the.shire / Instagram

If space allows, bring a vintage wooden dresser into your bathroom. Doing so will provide extra storage that you'll actually appreciate looking at day after day—say goodbye to those pesky plastic bins for good.

Chest Turned Vanity

@myenglishcountrycottage / Instagram

You can also turn a wooden dresser into a vanity; this is a popular approach in many country and farmhouse-style homes. You'll be giving new life to an older piece and enjoying all of the storage space a chest offers. You can choose to paint the chest and distress it for a more colorful vintage look, but natural wood has plenty of character on its own and will shine as-is too.

Versatile Chair

@cmnaturaldesigns / Instagram

A wooden chair makes a nice alternative to a side table in the bathroom. Use it to hold extra towels for guests or place a plant on top for decor, and know that it's easy to lift up and bring to another room or move out of the way as needed.

Bits of Brass

@katielouisaclarke / Instagram

Don't forget to incorporate pops of brass into the bathroom; it isn't just for ultra mod spaces. The metal looks nice paired with wooden pieces, like the chest-turned vanity shown here, and is a classic that will never go out of style.

Spacious Tub

Who wouldn't want to relax in a classic clawfoot tub? If your floor plan allows, consider adding one of these to your country bathroom to make the space even more inviting. Clawfoot tubs come in all types of colors, but we recommend sticking with a neutral like white or black.

Distressed Furnishings

A distressed vanity makes for a great choice in a country bathroom and serves as a statement piece. Adding marble above it elevates the look nicely and will patina over time, adding even more character to this space as the years go on.

Character-Filled Cabinet

@the.huber.homestead / Instagram

If you can't swap out your vanity, you can always weave a smaller piece of distressed furniture into your bathroom, like this medicine cabinet. If you're sharing your bathroom with another person, keeping an extra medicine cabinet on hand is always wise so as to allow everyone plenty of storage space for their personal items.

Mixed Materials

Elevated Accents

@town_to_terrasse / Instagram

Take a cue from your living room and bring an accent chair, decorative rug, and set of drapes into the bathroom. There's no reason to neglect this space just because it's small, after all. Do note that anything you place in your bathroom has the potential to get wet easily, so be mindful of this when selecting materials and finishes to keep out in the open.

Curated Gallery Wall

Make use of an empty wall and display a few of your favorite framed prints as well as some decorative plates. This small gallery wall can easily be expanded over time.

Country Checkers

Maximal Look

Contrasting Colors

Can't pick just one color for the bathroom? Use two, like blue and orange, to add some welcome contrast to your small space. Opting for less wallpaper is a budget-friendly approach as well.

Bathroom Gallery

@ruefer.heartandhome / Instagram

Use the space above your sink to feature some country-style artwork, like the landscape painting shown here. Again, it's best not to hang anything too delicate in the bathroom given that this is a prime for condensation, spills, and stains.

Bold Accent

Stone Vessel
