With a few simple touches, one can take their rustic bathroom and turn it into a jubilee of Spring! Last week we took a moment to consider the backdrop of our rustic bathroom and today we will get down to the finer touches, including accessories, rustic shower curtains, and the other little things that make your bathroom fully come together.
Accessories:
Choosing the right accessories, such as light fixtures, sink and tub fixtures, and even door knobs can be the key to making your rustic bathroom well-rounded. To begin, choose sink and tub fixtures that appear to be from the not-so-recent past, like the kind that are white and read “HOT” and “COLD” on them. Next, choose great lighting options. Going with wall sconces rather than bright, flourescent Hollywood bulbs are great starters. If you have an overhead light, think about getting a small but eye-catching chandelier made of a darker metal, wood, or even antlers. All other fixtures in the room – door handles, drawer pulls, cabinet handles, etc. – should all appear dated. To do this, stay away from shiny silver and gold if at all possible.
Final Touches:
You can also choose metal toothbrush and soap holders. Here, though, could be your opportunity to have a little fun, as there are several rustic-themed pieces that depict bears, moose, ducks, and deer. These are also great choices for the rustic bathroom. Buying crisp, white towels and candles can also add an extra touch to the rustic bathroom. You can even find candles wrapped in tree bark to finalize the rustic theme.
Of course one cannot forget about finding the perfect shower curtain for your bathroom. If you’re not into a rustic shower curtain featuring bears and moose, you can often find southwestern shower curtains that also fit perfectly into a bathroom like this. Then, don’t forget to add the finishing touch with your bear shower curtain hooks.
Finally, because rustic has a nature feel to it, why not bring nature into the bathroom. The most appealing way to do so is to have fresh flowers somewhere. Even a small vase filled with lavendar or bright, yellow yarrow can make a dramatic effect. Place flowers in a window sill or on the edge of the sink. Make the rustic theme you’ve been desiring spring to life with the tips we’ve provided. Allow the Spring that is blooming around us to provide you ideas for your rustic retreat.
