These Quaint Farmhouse Bathrooms Will Make You Want to Move to the Country
From modern takes to rustic classics.
Of all the bathroom trends, farmhouse-inspired design is easily the most relaxed and cozy. There's just something about the sweet colors, lived-in look, and unpretentious materials that evoke simpler times and, thus, beget comfort and relaxation. And it's not all about shiplap and rustic, weathered pieces (or romantic ones, if the space is leaning in the shabby-chic direction). In fact, the style is surprisingly versatile! Farmhouse-style bathrooms can be full of modern, industrial, or polished twists—though we're also definitely on board for sticking to the classics. So whether you live in the remote countryside, a suburban town, or in the center of a metropolis, these 26 farmhouse bathrooms will inspire you to bring the trend home.
Incorporate Stone
Typically used for flooring, pebbles add a punch of texture and personality to bathtub walls in this stone farmhouse designed by Philip Smith in upstate New York. The pebbles also nod to the stone foundations of the home.
Highlight Preexisting Quirks
In this farmhouse-chic bathroom, the rustic mirrored cabinet blends in effortlessly and adds extra storage, since built-ins weren't the best option (they may interfere with the preexisting foundations of the space, which would downplay the worn and weathered beauty).
Use Tiles to Tie Colors Together
All the varying tiles in this bathroom by Heidi Cailler speak to the colors in the curtains and fixtures. Classic subway tile on the walls and clinging the interior arch make this bathroom feel more spacious and open, but the abstract floor tiles help ground the room in the style. The floral and gingham shower curtains also soften the hard materials and modern elements.
Add Some Polish
With a linen slipcovered armchair, bright white paint, and laid-back accents, this bathrooms feels both farmhouse-inspired and clean-cut traditional. Create a little jewel box but lining all the walls with mirrors (this will also make the room feel bigger than it actually is).
Mix in Industrial Elements
Metallic surfaces are a welcome surprise in this farmhouse bathroom designed by McLaren.Excel. The swanky custom gold details, industrial matte and concrete materials, and warm wood paneling proves to be a modern farmhouse trifecta.
Add a Touch of Glamor
This bathroom is approachable and cozy to live in, yet "the details stop and make you pay attention," says interior designer Jeffrey Dungan. A separate niche spotlights the glamorous bathtub to create a visual moment—and an inviting place to soak. It's the perfect blend of elevated and down-to-earth—just what a modern farmhouse should be.
Take a More Modern Approach
Farmhouse bathrooms can look edgy and modern without fighting with the existing structure, as seen in this one designed by Kristin Fine. The mirrors create an infinity effect, which allows for intrigue to exist within a minimalist environment.
Hang on-Theme Art
With a classic wood toilet lid, simply vanity base, stone tile floors, and a framed cow print, this bathroom has all the farmhouse staples. But then it get some more formal, modern flair. Heidi Caillier chose an unexpected shade of mauve paint, brass fixtures and lighting, and smokey marble materials for the shower.
Use Fresh Colors
Because the sink is right up against a wall-to-wall window in this Madcap Cottage-designed bathroom, small wall-mounted and shelf-set mirrors replace a larger one. Meanwhile, the floral skirted sink vanity and complementary painted green walls make everyday feel like a fresh spring morning.
Lean Into the Funk
If you've inherited a farmhouse bathroom with old school anchor items, like a vintage sink, embrace them instead of trying to fight them and disguise them. Atelier ND allowed the mint green sink to set the tone, from the sconces to the modern art and floral wallpaper.
Pile on the Plants
This leafy oasis designed by Sara Solis gives the farmhouse look a Mediterranean spin. A tilting window in this 1930s bathroom lets in the breeze and draws the eye, so the designer added a copper tub right beneath it twin pedestal sinks play further into the symmetry, while greenery soaks up the sun. All bathrooms benefit from plants—they’re natural mood boosters
Stay Rustic
Keep things rustic with exposed stone flooring, a worn tub and sink, and antique details, like layers of hanging mirrors. Leanne Ford updated the fixtures, hung a linen robe, and placed a hamper in the corner to bring things up to the date.
Be Playful
There's something about this contemporary farmhouse bathroom by Chango & Co. that feels playful and stylish yet easy going. The schoolhouse sink and red stool and sconce add an energizing pop of color while the graphic black and white stripes are decidedly contemporary.
Layer Eras
The sweet patterned floor tiles and off-white painted shiplap walls bring a warm, neutral touch to this glam bathroom designed by Meredith McBrearty. The mirror-like material used for the tub looks fresh paired with the brass fixtures, and vintage artwork and accent furniture brings depth.
Add Wallpaper
This bathroom designed by Kathryn M. Ireland is happiness epitomized. She freshened up the space by upholstering the walls in her Greta Wallpaper. The slipper chair adds a nice pop that sticks to the floral theme while bringing in some new, interesting colors.
Take It Outside
At the Carmel Valley Ranch, Nicole Hollis Studio perfectly blends luxury with approachable design. If your property allows, consider an indoor/outdoor bathroom like this one that takes note from the natural surroundings and uses farmhouse-inspired touches while keeping things upscale.
Double It Up
Double sinks are always a win, especially when they're as farmhouse chic as the ones in this space by Hecker Guthrie. The sunny yellow backsplash brightens everything up and ties in the two hanging pendant lights.
Add Some Color
Doesn't this sweet baby blue bathroom designed by Abney Morton Interiors look like it's on a charming enclosed porch? If your clawfoot tub is a fresh color, paint your floors the same color and use a corresponding area rug. Then frame a found object, like a vintage poster or map.
Customize a Vainty
It's all about layers and textures in this modern yet country-chic cabin designed by Heidi Caillier. She transformed a worn dresser into the sink vanity which is polished off with a natural stone topper for a more modern touch. The dark paint adds to the warm, cozy vibe while the scones and fixtures bring a little more contemporary refinement.
Opt for Antiques
If you don't love the look of exposed brick or worn wood shiplap, paint everything white and then inject the warmth you'd get from the weathered materials with an area rug and a repurposed vintage storage piece, like a trunk. A black clawfoot tub also adds some Victorian elegance.
