Rural Allusions

A little bit country, a little bit cottage, this bathroom pays tribute to long-ago lavatories in modern ways. References to farm life include a rural rendering, a canning-jar collection, and a primitive coverlet folded on an antique chair. The tiled floors and black painted wainscoting give a nod to cottage style in high-impact fashion.

Here, beaded-board wainscoting sets a cottage backdrop that highlights antique furnishings -- including a vintage dresser, a chipped-up basket, and an industrial cart -- that find new life as storage pieces.

Cross-Continental Style

Both European and American country influences enhance cottage bathroom designs. This bathroom leans toward beachy thanks to the sea-green shiplap walls and marble floor, but it also accommodates French antiques. A flea market chair and elegant side table bring unexpected charm to the utilitarian space.

Primitive Patinas

Subject Matters

A vintage milking stool and seashell-stuffed aquarium highlight this bathroom's mix of country and cottage styles. To get a similar look, start with a white backdrop that will show off chipped patinas and beachcombed treasures. Install vintage-looking light fixtures, faucets, mirrors, and hardware to instill an aged appearance.

Natural Companions

When used thoughtfully, all sorts of organic surfaces can unite to create pleasingly cohesive designs. Reclaimed boards craft an eye-catching barn door that slides open to reveal a ruggedly outfitted bathroom featuring stacked-stone walls and a river-rock floor. The raw wood reappears on a modern floating vanity inset in a sleek stone surround.

Architectural Interest

Gray walls, earthen tiles, and a pedestal tub convert a tired bathroom into a modern spa. Coats of gray paint add visual weight to board-clad walls and a trio of casement windows. The deep-color perimeter handily highlights the bathtub's profile, crisp-white bath linens, and chrome towel hooks.

Twist on Tradition

Simple Shaker-style cabinets work well in both cottage and country spaces, but they become beach-house fabulous when paired with high-end surfaces such as marble countertops and showy stone-tile floors. Subway tile around the tub, board-clad ceilings, and old-timey fixtures say cottage; the white finishes set a light and airy mood.
