19 Decor Must-Haves for a Small Farmhouse Bathroom

1. Fresh White Shiplap Walls

White shiplap walls are a staple for farmhouse style bathrooms. Popularized by Joanna Gaines on Fixer Upper, the shiplap look is a key feature in rustic bathrooms. Some homes are lucky enough to have original shiplap walls. But if not, there is a simple solution—MDF boards can easily be applied to drywall to achieve the sought-after shiplap style (Check out Studio McGee’s guide to creating shiplap walls!)

2. Wood Vanity with Reclaimed Wood

Farmhouse bathroom features usually include natural, earthy materials. Wood, marble, and stone are all beautiful touches to a farmhouse bathroom. This bathroom features a wood vanity with reclaimed wood—adding an aged yet sophisticated style. If reclaimed wood isn’t an option, look for rustic cabinets with a natural wood grain.

3. White Tile Floors

To maintain the classic country look, opt for white tile flooring in the bathroom if possible. Add an eclectic touch with geometric tiles, like this unique hexagon pattern. For consistency, this bathroom continues the white theme into the shower with a subway tile backsplash.

8. Open Shelving with Farmhouse Decorations

Open wood shelving is an inexpensive way to add farmhouse flair to your bathroom. Use open shelves to display farmhouse decor like baskets, small plants, towels and glass jars.

9. Wood Framed Mirror

Pull together the rustic elements of your bathroom with a large wood framed mirror. Not only is a wood framed mirror a gorgeous decor element on its own, it can make a tiny farmhouse bathroom appear much larger. No need to expand your space—add a mirror and watch it transform!

10. Matte Black Hardware

Add a pop of contrast to farmhouse cabinets with elegant matte black decorative hardware. For a more industrial style, choose cabinet pulls with exposed screws. Another popular hardware finish for farmhouse bathrooms is oil-rubbed bronze.

13. Vessel Sink

A double sink bathroom doesn’t have to be huge to be functional! These small square vessel sinks are the centerpoint of the bathroom, pulling together all of the farmhouse decor with a touch of modern flair. To keep it rustic, this homeowner added farmhouse faucets. Although this bathroom is on the smaller side, the his-and-hers sinks and double mirrors make it appear much larger.

14. Earthy Natural Color Scheme

The soothing natural green paint color in this bathroom provides the perfect contrast to the white shiplap above the sink. When it comes to small spaces, most designers advise to use light neutral paint colors, which make the room feel bigger. However, this dark-painted bathroom maintains a spacious feel due to a few pops of white in the door moulding, sinks, shiplap wall and vessel sinks.

16. Sliding Barn Door

As modern farmhouse bathrooms become more popular, sliding barn doors have exploded in popularity. A barn door doubles as a functional design element and stunning decor piece. For a more vintage farmhouse look, choose a sliding barn door with a light stain that is slightly distressed. Or, for a more modernized and sleek look, go for a barn door that is stained dark, as pictured below.

19. Floating Vanity

One of our favorite clever tiny farmhouse bathroom ideas is swapping out a full vanity for a floating vanity. Albeit you’ll lose some storage space where the cabinets used to be, what you’ll gain is more open space to make the room appear larger. Plus, sometimes simplicity is key.
