Modern Farmhouse Bathroom Ideas You’ll Love

Farmhouse interiors have been making a comeback in recent years. They’re “cozy and inviting, rooted in the nostalgia for slower, simpler times,“ so it makes complete sense why we and so many others just can’t get enough of this aesthetic.

The modern farmhouse aesthetic perfectly blends new design trends with vintage country charm, creating a space that’s vibrant, comforting, and unique. 

If you’re as obsessed with this design style as we are and want to incorporate this aesthetic into your home – you’ve come to the right place. We’ve curated a list of gorgeous modern farmhouse bathrooms to serve as inspiration for anyone who wants to add a touch of charm and natural beauty to their powder room!

shiplap walls

Shiplap is one of the most well-known elements in farmhouse design, adding a warm, natural feel and a bit of rustic charm to a space. We love the bright finish from traditional white shiplap, though you can paint these panels to fit into your chosen aesthetic and palette. 

Shiplap also pairs well with board and batten, wallpaper, plain painted walls, and more for a unique look and a balance between vintage and modern aesthetics. 

printed wallpaper

Printed wallpaper is a classic choice for farmhouse design, creating a gorgeous, rustic backdrop for contemporary furnishings and details or country-inspired decor. 

We mentioned above that wallpaper and shiplap goes so well together, and this bathroom is a perfect example. Wallpaper can look amazing on its own or paired with another wall design. We love soft, muted wallpaper with a subtle design for an all-over look, while bold and bright patterns make a statement when used as an accent. 

neutral palette

Farmhouse spaces tend to feature neutral palettes, creating a timeless and understated elegance in the room. Black and white are perfect starting colors, while cream, beige, and brown add variety and warmth. We also love to see simple, earthy colors – such as green or blue – which complement the classic neutrals while adding gorgeous color. 

This color palette also makes it easy to furnish and decorate a modern farmhouse bathroom, as the natural, rustic elements will easily match the scheme. 

pretty & practical

A farmhouse bathroom effortlessly blends rustic charm with modern functionality, creating a space that’s practical yet pretty.

When designing your farmhouse bathroom, focus on what functional pieces you need and how to incorporate natural beauty with those pieces. Marble and wood sinks and vanities, gold or brass hardware, wicker baskets, and antique rugs are all beautiful, stylish pieces that also serve a purpose in the space. 

antique decor

Fill your farmhouse bathroom with antique decor and furnishings to create a gorgeous, vintage appeal that can contrast modern vanities, tubs, light fixtures, and more. 

The bathroom above has a simple, neutral design, but the rich metal tones and unique antique mirror, art, and vase provide a gorgeous contrast that blends contemporary and retro aesthetics. Alternatively, you can use a vintage vanity and pair it with sleek and modern decor. 

exposed wood

Exposed wood lends a natural, rustic appeal to the space, creating an effortless farmhouse aesthetic.

We love the combination of exposed wood beams and flooring, creating a balanced and harmonious finish in the bathroom. However, you can opt for just one or the other to add a touch of exposed wood to the room. 

If you’re remodeling on a budget, we suggest adding a wooden vanity or furniture for storage to create a similar aesthetic. 

natural lighting

Natural lighting is always gorgeous and lends a natural feel to a modern farmhouse bathroom. If you don’t love the idea of leaving your bathroom windows bare (we get it), we recommend pairing sheer curtains and drapes together, opting for frosted windows, choosing Roman shades, or adding cute half curtains to the window.

These options will give you privacy while letting natural light in or allowing you to easily control when to leave the window uncovered. 

pedestal sink

A pedestal sink offers a perfect blend of vintage charm and contemporary style, with a sleek and minimalist design that complements rustic farmhouse decor. We also love pedestal sinks with metal legs, adding a slightly industrial appeal to the room. 

These sinks have a simple elegance, and they’re also great for small bathrooms, since they’re compact and make the space feel more open. 

Vintage gallery wall

“Hanging thrift store or vintage art in a modern farmhouse bathroom adds charm and a sense of authenticity”, according to The Spruce.

Adding a gallery wall to any space is perfect for filling the room with character and personal style. We’re in love with the collection of vintage frames and vintage silhouette art above – it’s unique and creates a gorgeous antique aesthetic. 

You can also include art prints, newspaper clippings, and illustrations to give your modern farmhouse bathroom a unique feel. 

Antique furniture

Use a vintage dresser or vanity to add a sense of warmth and nostalgia, creating a warm and cozy environment. These timeless pieces are perfect for adding a farmhouse vibe to a modern space. They’re also an excellent way to use furniture you may already have and create a stylish space for extra storage. 

soft tones

Soft tones are gorgeous in almost any space (in our opinion), but especially in a modern farmhouse interior. These shades create a soothing space, and pastel, earthy colors perfectly match the natural beauty and charm of a farmhouse bathroom. 

modern marble

Marble is stunning and timeless, and we love the contemporary feel this material exudes. Pair it with shiplap, wood, and gold hardware to mix vintage elements with modern ones, recreating a similar look to the space above. 

We also love marble for minimalist spaces as it adds so much character and visual interest without adding unnecessary decor or furnishings. 

clean lines

Clean lines are essential in creating a modern space. We love the combination of sleek silhouettes with natural and vintage furnishings. The clean lines create a simple and modern canvas, while the farmhouse decor and furniture fill the space with warmth and character. 

molding accents

Molding along the wall creates an elegant architectural detail that matches both the simple, contemporary beauty, and rustic aesthetic of a modern farmhouse bathroom. 

Whether you opt for classic crown molding, wainscotting, or picture frame molding, the beautiful craftsmanship will add dimension and sophistication to your design. 

subway tiles

Modern bathrooms tend to feature bright, clean walls, and subway tiles create that exact aesthetic with a touch of farmhouse flair. This backdrop doesn’t overpower the bathroom and gives the room an open, airy aesthetic. 

You can also combine subway tiling with shiplap or use it to accent bare white walls for texture and subtle contrast. No matter how you use it, there’s no denying that subway tiles are simple yet timeless!

farmhouse sink

Is it any surprise that a farmhouse sink makes it onto the list of how to create a modern farmhouse bathroom?

We love the look of this oversized, ivory sink, and not only does it instantly add a farmhouse aesthetic here – it’s also practical! Pair this sink basin with a simple and modern vanity to create a well-balanced look.  

checkerboard tiles

Checkerboard tiles are one of our favorite additions to a farmhouse interior. This pattern has also been a popular trend as of late, making it both a modern and vintage addition!

The bold geometric pattern adds depth and contrast to the room, and we love that these tiles are classic and stylish. 

stone detailing

Stone flooring can add a natural and rustic element while giving the space a refined and modern feel. We love the sleek, clean tiles here, although you can choose asymmetrical and mismatched stone tiling for a more rugged finish. 

Other stone accent pieces to consider are stone sinks, vases, lamps, or even a stone accent wall!

patterned tiles

Patterned tiles are an excellent way to introduce playful patterns and bold colors in a sophisticated way. The black and white pattern above catches your attention and adds character to the room without creating an overly busy aesthetic. 

We also love how these intricate patterns pair with the wood pieces above, mixing styles in a soothing and harmonious way. 

traditional tub

And last but not least – a traditional tub!

An antique tub will immediately give your bathroom a vintage, farmhouse feel – especially a tub that features claw feet or a copper finish. However, any freestanding tub will add a touch of nostalgia and ambiance, contrasting modern flair with simple farmhouse details. 

And while we don’t see one above, you can easily find a shower curtain that works with a freestanding tub, ensuring you definitely have modern privacy in your farmhouse bathroom!
