Bathroom Design Ideas: Tips for Designing a Farmhouse Bathroom 

Farmhouse design brings a distinct nostalgia to even the newest homes, and you can achieve quite a bit of the desired look with the right wall treatment.

The lowest-cost option would be to repaint your walls in either a light neutral or the soft accent color, like dusty blue, that will appear in your accessories. If you have a slightly bigger budget for wall treatments, add a floral or botanical wallpaper to at least one wall. When using wallpaper in a bathroom, opt for a vinyl paper over the standard cellulose to avoid peeling and warping caused by moisture.

By far, the wall treatment that will have the biggest impact is shiplap. Installing a distressed white shiplap to your existing bathroom walls will cost the most of our suggestions, but it will also give your bathroom that homey, old-world feel of a true farmhouse.

Your tub or shower is not only the most eye-catching feature of your bathroom, but also the most integral to the function and form of the space. In a farmhouse design, a traditional tub-shower combo is always at home. The question is, how should it look?

Start with a high-quality wall material that is a breeze to clean, like Jacuzzi acrylic. Embrace the warm tones of farmhouse style with Jacuzzi’s Savannah Cove walls, which have a subtle marbled effect in a sandy tan color. Layer in vintage, cozy vibes with a white cotton or knit shower curtain, knit hand towels, and distressed wood cabinetry. Consider matte black hardware and shelving to get that modern rustic look.

Bonus tip: Do you need a more accessible alternative to a tub-shower combo? ZINTEX can design walk-in showers and walk-in tubs that are still 100% customizable and built for your accessibility needs.

When you think of a classic farmhouse, you probably think of a space that is rooted in nature. It’s airy and filled with natural light, and there are plenty of plants and freshly picked flowers. While you may not have the farm or garden to personally stock your space, you can still ground your bathroom with natural elements.

This can be as simple as opening the window for natural ventilation and light and adding a few potted plants to the space.

When picking plants for a bathroom, look for varieties that benefit from high humidity levels. Ferns are a great choice, and aloe vera brings that classic farmhouse balance of beauty and function. If you don’t want the upkeep of a living plant, try placing dried bouquets or grasses in an antique vase.

• Frame and hang a rustic print: Use a distressed or antique picture frame to hang a print of a farm-inspired painting.

• Bring your farmhouse motif in with a new shower curtain: Hang a shower curtain with your favorite farmhouse print, whether that’s chickens, botanicals, or a classic gingham print.
