The farmhouse style, inspired by the great North American farms, is a typical way of furnishing and decorating the house with rustic elements and decor in wood and metal. It is characterized by the deliberately unkempt appearance of raw wood pieces, furniture, accessories and recovered materials, such as pallets, metal buckets or old ladders.

Anything that can give a rustic and natural look to the context can be part of this style. Among the many rooms that can be furnished, in a farmhouse style, the bathroom is the one that lends itself the most because you can mix several different elements in it.

Here is a series of fantastic ideas for you to draw inspiration from, in case you want to dedicate yourself to revolutionizing your bathroom.

White colors combined with wood is clearly a must in this way of furnishing. When white prevails and is the background to the details in wood and galvanized iron, the result is a very bright and natural environment.

Under the sink, in some cases, you can use an old wooden piece of furniture, perhaps with the addition of a marble shelf. And for an even more rustic touch, a classic wooden ceiling beam is a great idea.

Walls and floors in wood and white/turquoise coloring are suitable for this style that is always rustic and natural (and colorful). A not inconsiderable detail is the metal basin under the sink which immediately invokes feeling of a farm environment.

Another great classic of farmhouses are the majolica tiles which, in the case of the bathroom, of course, can be used both for the floor and the walls.

And a large, long piece of raw wood, is ideal for a large bathroom. It is perfect, for example, to satisfy the need for having two sinks.

A wood beam with carved spaces for toilet paper rolls could, of course, be a very special item to have in your rustic bathroom.

The beauty of a farmhouse is that everything can become something else. In the case of the bathroom in the photo, some wooden boxes have become very nice shelves.

For a rustic but very chic bathtub, here is a wooden plank resting on the bath's sides and a nice log of wood at the foot of the tub, where you can place everything you need for a super relaxing bath.

An old wooden ladder reused as a towel holder is another great classic in a farmhouse-styled bathroom.

And, finally, some very simple shelves in raw wood which, in an environment like the one we are describing, are perfect.
