How to Adding Bathroom Elements Create a Farmhouse Style Bathroom?

/in /by

Choose your lighting. There are a range of acceptable options for farmhouse style bathroom lighting. The most common option is a downward-curving sconce in a vintage style of silver or copper. Use bare bulbs or a simple glass covering over your bulbs. Alternately, antique hanging light fixtures might work, or light fixtures that resemble a candelabra with candle-style bulbs. Avoid fixtures that look contemporary or modern, such as stainless steel, chrome, or polished nickel.

Use round hanging mirrors. Instead of the traditional wide, rectangular, across-the-wall mirror that you find in most modern bathrooms, choose a round hanging mirror. Alternately, use boxy mirrors with a square or rectangular shape instead of round hanging mirrors. If your existing mirror is unframed, frame each side with rustic wood for a quick fix.

Install a tub. Tubs, not showers, are the preferred bathing technology in the farmhouse-style bathroom. A simple white tub elevated on four legs (known as a clawfoot tub) is the best option.  Avoid installing a plastic shell-style tub. They are inappropriate for a farmhouse-style bathroom. If you can’t do without a shower, choose one with simple subway tile or vintage wood-plank-style tile. Choose a stationary glass shower door with a dark frame, such as one made from wood or bronzed metal, instead of a shower curtain.

Add some foliage. A small glass vase of lilacs will look great on a shelf in your farmhouse-style bathroom. Alternately, place a tin or copper bucket with wild flowers or ferns on your counter. Opt for silk or fake flowers instead of real ones, as they will last longer. You might also like white flowers like daisies to match your white décor. Avoid bold colors like bright red or orange. Stick to a single color or species when selecting foliage for your farmhouse style bathroom.

Select your artwork. Imagery will help emphasize your bathroom’s farmhouse theme. Pictures of farm animals like chickens, cows, or horses are good options, as are scenes depicting crops and fields. Choose art that evokes farm life to put the finishing touch on your farmhouse style bathroom. You might also choose to incorporate antique signs that gesture toward small-town life of a previous era. Metal signs with words like “Soap” or “Wash Up” on them would look great in a farmhouse-style bathroom.

The knowledge of Renovate Bathroom

Choose moisture and mildew-resistant paint. Because bathrooms get damp, wallpaper is not a good idea. The best paint to use for a bathroom is something that is either semi-glossy or satin; both are resistant to frequent cleaning and touching. Textured paint is also a great option if you are re-painting an old surface; the texture will conceal any bumps and imperfections. Whatever paint you decide to use, make sure that it is intended for bathrooms, and is both moisture and mildew proof.

Use light colors, such as sky blue, sea foam green, or lavender, if you have a small bathroom. They will make your bathroom appear bigger than it actually is. Use darker colors to make large bathrooms appear smaller and cozier. Go for gray or white if you can’t decide. They are common bathroom colors. Consider adding accent or trim colors to match your decor and towels.

Decide what sort of material you want for your counter. There are different types of materials you can use for your counter, if you choose to have one. Natural stone looks and feels luxurious. It is very beautiful, but it needs to be sealed properly so that it does not soak up stains. The drawback is that it can only come in flat slabs.

Resin is great for counters with irregular shapes. They are a great choice if you want to have a sink molded right into the counter. They can be made to resemble almost any material and don’t need to be sealed. Despite this, they don’t have the beauty of natural stone.

Laminate counters are cheap and come in many different finishes. They are also stain and scratch resistant. Unfortunately, they can also fade and deteriorate over time. Consider covering your counter with porcelain tiles or glazed tile. This will make it durable, and easier to clean.

Choose your bathtub, sinks, showers, and other fixtures. There are different types of tubs, sinks, and showers. For example, some types of sinks and tubs are free-standing and can be moved around if needed. Other types are directly molded into the counter or wall tiles.

Pedestal sinks look elegant and take up little space, but they won’t fit in a counter, and you can’t place a cabinet under them. You will need to install cabinets and counters in other parts of your bathroom. Vessels and bowls are popular sink choices. They sit right on top of a counter. The downside is that you will need to clean under them, and you can’t just wipe things off the counter and into the sink, like you would with a molded sink.

Molded sinks are often set right into the vanity. They are the most common, but also the most convenient. Claw-foot bathtubs are free-standing and classical. They are often made from porcelain tiles and can hold heat better. You will need to add a drain in the floor to catch any spilled water.
