If you're curious about this design trend, consider experimenting with rustic bathroom ideas.
Revamping your bathroom into a rustic retreat for you and your guests doesn't have to blow your budget. Here, we've gathered a selection of bathroom pictures, ranging from bold transformations to more understated layouts with rustic touches. You can go for shiplap walls, install patterned wallpaper (plaid and florals are always a good idea) or even try sliding barn doors or a walk-in shower to enhance your space. The choice is yours! So if you're unsure of how to incorporate rustic elements into your bathroom, these decor ideas, which include a few pointers for modern design lovers, will give you some inspiration.
Natural Wood Details
Subtle rustic touches, like a wood framed mirror and cabinet for toiletries, are full of charm.
Hanging Wooden Mirrors
Opt for a pair of wooden mirrors and hang them over your sink with an iron pulley and jute rope.
Ridged Ceiling
Let your bathroom exude a country vibe with a ridged ceiling, brick walls and wood flooring. But don't stop there! Go for a white soaking tub to make the space stand out.
Industrial Treasures
Add an array of vintage accents to your bathroom's design. Balance the design scheme with silver fixtures, like lighting and mirrors, to give the all-white space a polished look.
Wooden Hutch
Instead of a traditional bath mat, cover your tile floor with a vintage rug. Amp up the look by using a wooden hutch as an eye-catching linen closet.
Antique Art
Incorporating antique art into your bathroom's decor is a simple way to achieve a rustic look. Gather an arrangement of wall art in varied sizes to bring the space to life.
Wood and Stone
You can't go wrong with a combination of light and dark wood tones in a bathroom. Try a wood mirror in a dark finish, such as walnut, and a weathered oak cabinet for contrast. Using a stone sink only adds to the rustic appeal.
Natural Light
Play up the natural light in the room — and keep your space feeling fresh and breezy — with striped wallpaper in a neutral color.
Wood Flooring
For a modern and rustic combination, pair herringbone wood flooring with white subway tiles.
Woodsy Wallpaper
The right wallpaper can help define the rustic appeal of a bathroom. Opt for a woodsy design to pull the space together.
Storage Baskets
Along with a walk-in shower and bold geometric floor tiles, woven storage baskets add to this bathroom's homey aesthetic.
Dose of Greenery
Bring the outdoors into your space by hanging greenery against a white shiplap wall.
Nature-Inspired Accents
Add a rustic approach to your modern bathroom with one simple accent. With this design, faux antlers are beautifully arranged around a mirror.
Copper Sink
Ditch your modern sink for a vintage copper design boasting a wooden frame. To finish the look, enliven the space with a colorful shower curtain, bath mat and hand towels.
Vintage-Inspired Materials
Replacing your shower and sink with a trough exudes a vintage look, especially if the overall bathroom design features wood.
Sliding Barn Door
A sliding barn door with black handles can add warmth to an all-white bathroom.
Wood Cabinets
Weaving wood details into your bathroom can give it a rustic feel in an instant. Just stick to a white sink and counter to add contrast to the wood cabinets.
Pastoral Paintings
You don't have to outfit your entire bathroom in vintage wallpaper to make a design statement. Stick to one wall then cover it with pastoral paintings for country charm.
Vintage Mirrors
To create visual appeal, hang an antique mirror alongside vintage paintings in a range of sizes.
Tongue and Groove Planks
Transform a sterile white bathroom with shiplap walls and rich wood flooring for visual interest.
