How To Get The Farmhouse Bathroom Look

Farmhouse style is particularly useful to create a relaxed, lived-in, and functional space. There is no better room than the bathroom to take advantage of those qualities.

As discussed in the related previous posts (links are included at the end of this post), farmhouse style is oftentimes a mix of the old and the new.

What makes farmhouse style a popular style even today is the design elements or spirit that it embodies.

That spirit calls for practicality and a ‘stay-a-while’ attitude. How that ‘spirit’ is implemented in modern restrooms without looking kitsch or feeling dated is the aim of this post.

The modern farmhouse bathroom embraces the use of contemporary plumbing fixtures with reference to historical decor influences. Glass and steel are common materials used in the modern farmhouse design.

Similarly, oftentimes industrial-style lighting fixtures are seamlessly incorporated into the design. Wall finishes like stone tiles and granite countertop can also be part of the modern farmhouse bathroom.

Where the old meets the new is where the farmhouse style performs its best. The classic white shiplap walls make this tub alcove appear wider than it actually is. The timeless clawfoot tub is not only stunning but is located near the windows for views and an abundance of natural light. Note the flat screen in case one is tired of the same natural landscape (just kidding, but a great spot to catch up with the latest news or live game). The industrial pendant lights and open built-in shelving complements this modern farmhouse look beautifully.
