Rustic bathroom ideas that will create a calm and natural farmhouse-inspired space

These rustic bathroom ideas embrace natural materials and soft textures to create a homely, relaxing feel—the perfect setting for long, candle-lit baths in a countryside idyll (even if you live in the city). The antidote to a hyper-modern and clinical bathroom, rustic bathrooms are filled with distressed materials, mismatched accessories, and plenty of character. 

"Nicknamed 'Cottagecore', the modern, rustic country look is a trend that draws inspiration from the traditional and picturesque English cottage and US farmhouses—and you can easily bring this style to your bathroom," Victoria Plum Content Manager, Adam Chard, told w&h. "Whether that is through wood paneling, antique-style taps, or woven basket storage, it’s vital to draw from trusted traditional looks and bring them up to date with a modern twist.”

Whether you're redesigning your space or want to work with what you already have by adding a few homely touches, these rustic bathroom ideas and decorating tips will help you get that farmhouse feel.
