Organic Appeal

Vanity, sink

Natural and whitewashed wood finishes create visual appeal in this casual farmhouse bathroom design. Knotty pine steps up as an unexpected countertop that supports a chic vessel sink and pretty accessories. It also crowns a configuration of easily accessed open shelves.

Finely Furnished

Bathroom Lighting

Sky blue walls highlight an antique desk that converts to a nifty farmhouse bathroom vanity. Circular forms -- appearing as a mirror, vessel sink, and sconce shade -- turn up the charm in an understated way that doesn't busy up the peaceful space. The look is collected: Candy jars hold toiletries and a big basket keeps extra towels at hand.

Bungalow Style

long trough sink gray vanity bathroom

The wide gray vanity in this farmhouse bathroom is streamlined and sleek—small cutouts for opening the drawers stand in for traditional cabinet hardware. A long trough sink is staffed by old-timey cross handles with straight lines and wall-mount installation. The large mirror with rounded corners was custom-made for an industrial, vintage attitude. To give the bathroom the look of having been furnished over time, the homeowner added a cabinet with a charcoal-gray finish. A wall clad in white subway tile is another timeless choice.

Modern Industrial

his and her bathroom with large honeycomb tiles

Large concrete pavers, in a trio of cool-tone stains, make for an artful but utilitarian anchor to this primary bathroom. A floating vanity and metal mirrors complement the industrial vibe. Painted-white shiplap wall paneling brings depth and texture to the room while still maintaining the home’s modern, clean-lined aesthetic.

Gray bathroom

Gleaming chrome fittings and tulip-shaded sconces boost the brightness in a bath furnished with farmhouselike sinks set atop naturally finished wood stands. Woven storage baskets and distressed medicine cabinets bring country textures to the mix.

Vintage Profiles

bathroom

Today's farmhouse style is all about old-fashioned forms, heirloom furniture, and vintage elements rendered in breezy tones. In this farmhouse bathroom, an antique cabinet supplies a charming cache for contemporary accessories. Green glass tiles behind the vintage pedestal sink and the glass shelf above the cabinet partner with shimmering metal accents to give the farmhouse bathroom a luxurious lift.

Natural Notions

Assembled Over Time

white tile

This farmhouse bathroom is a little bit country and a little bit rock-and-roll. Classic subway-tiled walls and penny-tile mosaic flooring handily highlight eclectic accents, such as a porthole mirror, a caged work light, and a rusty work stool. Two tall goose-neck faucets and a large wall-mount sink combine to present a striking sculptural silhouette.

Spic-and-Span Attitude

Country Cottage Bath

This built-for-a-family farmhouse bathroom handily illustrates how to do white right. White-painted horizontal boards add noteworthy dimension to the walls, which in turn spotlights a sleek wall-mount sink and a trio of weathered wood-frame mirrors. Gray-and-white flooring and fabrics pick up on the white surfaces and the metal tones of the faucets and light fixture.

Barnyard Beat

Mini Farmhouse Makeovers

Set on a mounted track, this barn-style door provides an immediate country connection. Inside the bathroom, flea market furnishings and vintage silhouettes, including the sink, faucet, and mirror, stack up for rustic pizzazz. An old barn board finds new life as a beat-up base for a trio of exterior faucets that double as towel hooks.

Make-Do Magic

102049487.jpg.rendition.largest.jpg

Historic farmhouses benefited from farmers' can-do spirits. Generally, the homeowners made do with building materials and furnishings that were at close at hand. They also made the most of existing space. In this farmhouse bathroom, a petite vanity nestles into a windowed nook with a wood-clad ceiling. The windows pull in light and views, which makes getting ready a pleasure.

Handsome and Hardworking

white rustic bathroom

This way-cool lavatory accessed by a salvaged exterior door accommodates multiple hand-washers at the wall-mount trough sink. White subway tiles run from floor to ceiling to establish country character and protect the walls from water and soap splatters.

Remarkable Relics

small bathroom

Recycle, renew, repurpose, and revive: each is key to creating authentic and interesting farmhouse bathrooms. These homeowners furnished their bathroom with a crown-molding shelf, a chip-painted column, and a simple bench to showcase all sorts of old objects that double as artwork and countrify storage that holds modern-day necessities.

Mini Farmhouse Makeovers

Farmhouse bathrooms benefit from finishes and furnishings that link to periods past. Bronze faucets and sconces add age-old patina and color to this space, while a handy peg rack supports an old wire basket that holds toiletries. A turned-leg desk equipped with a large vessel sink and glass knobs converts to a farmhouse bathroom vanity.

Color It Distinctive

Country Cottage Bath

Introduce vividly hued relics, shapely mirrors, expansive pedestal sinks, and sentimental accessories to personalize your farmhouse bathroom. In this space, shiplap siding and marble mosaic floor tiles set a vintage stage for red light fixtures, a collection of hats, and a mirror that was most likely attached to a bedroom dresser in a previous life.

Plainly Perfect

102289271.jpg.rendition.largest.jpg

Farmhouse bathrooms are never fussy affairs. They are well-edited designs that center on purposeful pieces, oftentimes done up in white or neutral finishes. Here, a streamlined tablelike vanity, a rectangular mirror, and a white-on-white scheme make the most of a small space, while a light fixture dressed in a linen drum shade supplies a chic silhouette.

Farmhouse Refreshed

102331001.jpg.rendition.largest.jpg

Country goes city-chic in this space, which presents the crisp, white brightness of farmhouse bathrooms in streamlined fashion amid a wealth of natural textures. Stone-tiled walls and rock-tiled floors provide organic counterweights that set off a floating vanity capped with concrete countertops and two vessel sinks.

Framing a Thought

102393360.jpg.rendition.largest.jpg

Although industrial fixtures and modern-motif wallpaper captivate, it's the handcrafted vanity that firmly anchors this bathroom in farmhouse style. Recessed and advancing stained boards alternate to create a boxlike structure that houses a sink. A quartet of squared-off feet give the ingenious construction the look of a furniture piece.
