Make the bath the feature
A freestanding bath with claw feet works really in a country bathroom. Team with traditional brassware in chrome, or even antique brass, for a real bathroom statement.
Don’t leave your walls bare
Layering adds interest to a country bathroom so treat your walls to feature tiles or tongue-and-groove panelling.
Keep your colours soft
Organic colours work well in a country bathroom, like a sage green or a soft grey. Have a look at paint manufacturers like Farrow & Ball and Little Greene for colours and finishes well-suited to country bathrooms.
Keep floors neutral and natural
Both wood floors and tiles work well, but keep colours light and bright. Natural tones and textures work best.
Add vintage accessories
Trendy wire baskets, rustic towel rails and antique mirrors all add to the country look. But these don’t have to cost a fortune – go for a rummage around your nearest reclamation yard or antiques shop.
