How to Create a Country Style Bathroom

There seems to be a misconception that country style bathrooms are boring and old fashioned. However, this traditional design has been given a modern twist that many homeowners are trying to replicate in their own bathrooms, regardless of whether they live in a rural setting or not.

Although decorating your bathroom in this style will mainly depend on the size of your room and budget, there are a few things you can do to make it look and feel special.

If you're going to commit to a country theme you need to make sure that all the features in your bathroom lend to it. There are three different directions you can go with when it comes to country décor from French to cottage or romantic. The best thing to do is to incorporate your own personal style to ensure you will be happy with the final results.

Bath

It's no secret that the most important feature in any bathroom is the bath itself. And when it comes to a country style bathroom, there's only one type of tub that will do – a cast iron bath. Their softly curved edges and deep indulgent design will not only create a traditional look, but will also allow you to enjoy longer, more luxurious soaks in the tub.

Features

High level cistern toilets with pull chains and a wooden toilet seat are a must for the ultimate country style loo. Other typical bathroom items like the basin and shower, and all the accessories that go with them should also compliment your theme and classic cast iron bath.

Colour
Another important factor is the use of colour, so try to go for neutral tones that lend to a relaxing atmosphere. If you are opting for a themed country look you can then incorporate one or two other accent colours to liven up your room. For example, for the perfect blend of vintage and romance, use shades of red with candles to create a contrasting effect against the lighter colours. A bathroom mat and selection of fluffy towels are another way to bring in an element of colour.
