Decorate A Country Bathroom







You can decorate any bathroom in the country style.


What do you think of when you hear "country bathroom?" Some people may think wrought iron or old-fashioned sinks, but others may think of their grandparents' bathrooms when they were little. Regardless of what you think of when you hear "country bathroom," decorating it to your taste is what it all comes down to. If you're starting from scratch, this guide focuses on decorating your bathroom with primitives and helps you create a country bathroom that's down to earth and comforting.


Instructions


1. Decorating your new country bathroom depends on the size of your bathroom and your budget. If you want the country-style bathroom, you're going to have to search for a Victorian Bathtub. These can be found at antique shops, in the local classified or at online sales sites. These bathtubs are the kind you're looking for that are on four legs that have the claw feet. They are the best kinds of tubs for any country bathroom.


2. Decide on what type of sink you want. Again, think Victorian Basin. These sinks come in many shapes and styles, and one of the most common is called a pedestal sink. They come in both freestanding styles or they are also made as corner sinks that work well in a smaller bathroom. These sinks add a nice touch to any country bathroom. To go along with the sink, you might want to think of a type of mirror or vanity to go along with it.


3. Add in a retro toilet for that country feel. Any toilet will do, but how you decorate it is the key to making it look country. Decorating the back of your toilet with old fashioned signs that say things like, "Soap 5 cents," can really add a country feel to your bathroom as well.


4. Choose a theme for your bathroom. A very popular theme is the "outhouse theme." A lot of people really enjoy finding decorations that add to this particular theme because it's very old fashioned. Finding things like borders and small figurines can add a nice touch. Shower curtains and area rugs should be kept to a solid color if you're going to use a border and decorations or else the bathroom will look too busy.


5. Add in tile flooring. Tile can go along with any theme to any bathroom style. You should also probably stick to a tile that's also neutral in color. Choose a tile that is a mixture of white and beige or light browns that can make your bathroom look brighter and more relaxing.
