Country Bathroom Decorating Ideas for your Log Cabin or Lodge
There are a number of things that you can do to update your bathroom.
Some are simple and some will require some work (or hiring a contractor to do the work).
And, of course, you don’t have to do everything on the list below. Pick and choose the items that will do the most to give you the bathroom décor that you are looking for…
Choose a Theme
This is not optional. You do need to decide what you want your bathroom to look like.
After you know what theme you will use for your bathroom décor, all your decisions will be easier!
What to do with Walls
Walls are the first thing to consider.
With country décor or cabin décor, you often see wooden walls. They can be painted or finished naturally.
But you can also get a rustic effect, with drywall or plaster walls (more on that later).
Painting the bathroom wall is a better choice than using wallpaper, because of the moisture in the bath.
When you are choosing a color, keep in mind that light colors make a room feel larger and brighter, and dark colors make a room feel smaller and darker.
This is especially important if the size of your bathroom is an issue.
Cabinets and Shelves
Cabinets are one of greatest expenses in renovating a bathroom.
However, good quality cabinets will last for years, while cheaper, inferior quality cabinets will show wear quickly and sometimes even fall apart.
If your cabinets are sound, you can refinish them or paint them for a casual country look.
Shelves can be decorative, while giving you storage for things like towels, candles and decorative items. They can save you money as shelves are much cheaper than cabinets.
If you are furnishing a fishing camp or a weekend cabin, you can save money by using shelves instead of costlier cabinets.
Both shelves and cabinets cut down on clutter!
Cabinet Hardware
Simply replacing the hardware on your bathroom cabinets can give you a totally new look and give your bath some class.
There are many decorative cabinet pulls that can also enhance your bathroom theme.
Outdated Colors in your Bath
Nothing dates a bathroom like outdated colors. Blue, green or pink bathtubs and toilets are an example that we’ve all seen.
Replacing the old colored ones with white or cream can do a lot to make your bathroom feel new.
Update Bathroom Fixtures
Country bathroom fixtures are often made of porcelain or brass or with a nickel finish.
Simply replacing the fixtures, especially if they are tarnished or worn looking, can give your bath a new look.
Mirrors and Lights
Mirrors make a room look larger and brighter. Use them freely in a small bathroom, both to make it look larger and as a decorative feature.
Vanity lights come in many decorative styles, so choose a special one that goes with your decorating theme.
Country Bathroom Accessories
Cute rustic bath accessories can be part of your country bathroom decorating ideas.
Your shower curtain is the largest bath accessory, so choose one that you really like, as it will be the focal point of most country bathrooms.
Build the rest of your room around the shower curtain theme, using these country bathroom decorating ideas.
Choose country prints, wall décor, towel hangers, soap holders, etc. to support the theme of your shower curtain!
Rustic Bathroom Curtains
Using cute country curtains in your bath can also brighten the bath and support your chosen theme. Choose country curtains that go with the rest of your rustic bathroom accessories.
Giving your bathroom a facelift can be as simple as purchasing a few bathroom accessories and bath towels, or it can be a major makeover.
But, it will be rewarding no matter what you decide to do, as the bathroom is often where you kick back and relax after a rough day at work.
