No need to move to the middle of nowhere to find awesome farmhouse bathroom ideas. Whether you’re a city dweller or a country charmer, a few simple updates can give your bathroom that rustic charm.
Farmhouse Bathroom Designs For Your Inspiration
Farmhouse design inspiration is everywhere. If you’re on Pinterest, Etsy, or Instagram, you’ll likely come across beautiful photos of farmhouse decor without trying.
You’ve probably seen plenty of photos of influencers drinking a cup of coffee in their perfect farmhouse kitchen or getting ready in their perfect farmhouse bathroom. You may have even wondered if that aesthetic is achievable or if it’s all just smoke and mirrors.
Good news: Farmhouse design is very accessible. Incorporating rustic textures, warm textiles, and wood furniture are just a few ways to give your bathroom a farmhouse look.
Take a look at these farmhouse-inspired bathrooms and keep track of which elements inspire you the most.
1. Wood Beams
Weathered Wood Ceiling Beams in the Bathroom
If you have much to store in your bathroom, you might want to consider installing a full set of cabinets.
Here, a tall and beautiful set of cabinets sits between two sinks. Glass paneling allows its contents to be on full display (but, of course, you could choose to hide your wares). Dark wood floors contrast with old, weathered wood ceiling beams.
Marrying old and new elements is a great way to tip your hat to the past without getting stuck.
2. Cozy Farmhouse Bath
While farmhouse design often uses repurposed materials, that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality. The two traditional-style sinks/vanities in this bathroom clearly show that a farmhouse bathroom can include some more ornate elements.
A soft, warm color palette unites this room, and a long runner rug gives it a cozy vibe. Nothing is better than a warm bath in a clawfoot tub after a long day of working on the farm (or staring at spreadsheets).
3. Farmhouse Sinks
Environmentally-Friendly Farmhouse Sink
Upcycling materials is a great way to achieve a high-quality farmhouse bathroom while being environmentally friendly. This sink looks to be crafted with wood palettes and stone.
Old wood ceiling beams highlight the home's history, while white shower tiles add a sense of modernity. Of course, no modern home is complete without expensive Aesop hand soap.
4. Rustic Wood
Here, we have another example of using rustic materials to create beautiful bathroom furniture. The reclaimed wood cabinets in this farmhouse-inspired bathroom look as if they were crafted with care in colonial times.
Also, matching the wood stain or paint color on various elements will help you tie your bathroom design together. This gorgeous dark wood set of cabinets pairs nicely with the dark brown-framed mirror.
5. Light Wood
You may notice a pattern with the bathroom cabinets and sinks. Farmhouse bathrooms often use vintage or antique-looking furniture. Here, both the cabinets and the decorative ladder have a rustic look.
But you don’t necessarily have to go flea market shopping to achieve this look. You can often find new furniture that looks worn or paint furniture to create a weathered effect. Also notable in this farmhouse bathroom is the patterned bathroom tile. A simple geometric tile pattern contrasts nicely with the rest of the bathroom’s solid-colored elements.
6. Dual Sink Farmhouse Bathroom
Modern Farmhouse Style with Dual Sink
Not all farmhouse designs look rustic. Here’s an example of a modern farmhouse bathroom that embraces farmhouse design's materials and color palettes. This dual-sink vanity has plenty of cabinet and drawer storage space.
Overhead industrial lighting enhances the room’s natural brightness, as do the three wood-framed mirrors. And don’t forget about the details. Bathroom textiles can seem an afterthought, but these neutral-patterned towels are a deliberate and beautiful choice.
7. Grayscale Chic
A ladder to nowhere? Why not! Farmhouse designs often include decorative ladders to allude to rustic roots while adding more hanging space for bathroom textiles.
This bathroom uses black cabinetry under the sink, which isn’t often used in a farmhouse design. However, this bold choice gives the room an edge when paired with softer elements.
8. Subway Tile Shower
Subway Tile for a Modern Bathroom Design
Subway tile is truly all the rage in modern design. It’s made its way across many styles, from Scandinavian to modern to farmhouse. This bathroom incorporates a couple of other bathroom tiles as well.
Tiny square black tiles accent the shower floor, and larger gray square floor tiles line the rest of the bathroom. Using tiles of varying sizes and shades can give your farmhouse bathroom an exciting, fresh vibe.
9. Flowers Fresh from the Farm
With a charming bathroom, why wouldn’t you buy flowers for it? This modern farmhouse bathroom is a gorgeous example of using new materials to create an antique look. Look closely at the wood paneling on the walls and ceilings.
A muted warm grey and medium wood stain might suggest some age, but they look newly installed up close. You can add a bit of color to your farmhouse with a floor rug, vintage or new.
10. Rustic Blue Bathroom Cabinets

We tend to associate warm neutrals with the farmhouse style, but using blue is a great choice. This set of bathroom cabinets and drawers is accented with lovely brass handles. The centerpiece of this room, however, is this round mirror seemingly decorated with stalks of wheat.
Whether your taste is DIY or more traditional, incorporating light colors and textures is a great way to liven up your farmhouse bathroom design.
11. Earth Tones
Earth Tone Palette Bathroom Design
Leaning into a neutral, earth-tone palette can help create a cozy farmhouse-inspired bathroom. In this example, various shades of warm brown provide an elegant yet approachable look.
A round mirror over the sink helps draw in and bounce more light around the room. This is a great example of prioritizing aesthetic value and storage space equally by incorporating large, brown cabinetry.
12. Open Storage
You can always bring the farm into your bathroom by decorating with farm animals. Did you spot the duck in the bottom left-hand corner of this image? Other less literal farmhouse elements include a hanging lantern over the bathtub, workbenches repurposed as storage, and wood paneling. This gingham-patterned rug also feels very picnic-like in the prairie.
