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.
5
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.
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.
Bring the outdoors into your space by hanging greenery against a white shiplap wall.

Vintage-Inspired Materials

Vintage Mirrors
To create visual appeal, hang an antique mirror alongside vintage paintings in a range of sizes.

Galvanized storage solutions are an easy way to add a country-like feel to your bathroom. Weave in colorful decorative jars and even a small floral arrangement for an eye-catching display.
You can be creative and reuse materials for a rustic approach. Take a cue from designer Melanie Milner and use German feed sacks as valances for bathroom windows.

Plaid Wallpaper
Plaid wallpaper can easily give your bathroom an old-world feel. Stick to a palette of neutrals for a timeless look.
Sometimes, all it takes is one statement piece to pull off a rustic aesthetic. In this case, a vintage ladder acts as the perfect spot for towels while bringing a dose of style into the space.
For a unique rug design with a vintage feel, consider a wine cork bath rug. It’s sure to catch the eye of your guests, while adding an earthy feel to the space.
