Making a bathroom in country style!

Country style came from the West and entered us at the beginning of the twentieth century, at a time when people moving from villages to the city sought to recreate the familiar and familiar environment from childhood. After all, country means only natural and environmentally friendly materials, especially with regard to the floor and walls, because represents a unique harmony with nature.

Country Style Features

Like any other style, country has its main characteristic differences. Firstly, the presence of rough stucco, decorative stone, stucco molding, imitation of light shades of wood or tiles with floral patterns - these are all characteristic textures. Regarding the floor in the bathroom, fine tiling with imitation of stone or brick is considered an ideal option.

The color scheme inherent in the country style is the predominance of light natural shades, of which the darkest are brown, rich coffee and green colors, especially if the main finishing material is wood. But the best option is white and beige shades. Multicolor is allowed, however, muffled as if faded tones.

Everything needs to be carefully thought out even at the stage of wall decoration, namely, to decide what color the furniture and accessories for the bathroom will be, because all interior items should be in harmony with each other. For example, for lovers of a frequent change of scenery, it is better to use neutral, non-binding tones, which later will suit any accessories.

Regarding furniture, we can say that it should be quite simple, wooden and unpolished, it is better if it is specially aged, with a rough finish, stylized antique. Wicker things, for example, a laundry basket, as well as forged parts, will perfectly pour into such an interior. But glass, plastic and chromed metal absolutely should not be. Wooden furniture with fabric inserts fits perfectly into the interior

Plumbing is also best suited for antique, for example, made of brass. It’s good if the bathtub has elegant legs, and the taps are copper, bronze or stainless steel. By the way, the use of ball is extremely undesirable, only valve, characteristic of the beginning of the twentieth century.

A washbasin in general can be placed clay. I must say that the country plumbing has something in common with the Provence style. The country style and wooden bathtubs reminiscent of the tubs that the villagers had, although they are not very cheap. However, you can always make an imitation of such a bath, if you cover the usual on the sides with boards previously treated with a moisture-protective agent.

Stone or marble bathtubs and sinks will look great.

Accessories are an important element

Country style accessories must be present, as they play a very important role in interior decoration. It should be noted that the features of this style create a huge, simply unlimited scope for the flight of your imagination. But do not forget that this style does not imply accents on small details, and therefore any bright thing will look like an ridiculous mottled spot. To avoid this effect, saturated paints should not be used. It is important to be able to convey the overall picture without making any emphasis.

As for accessories, it can be waffle towels or embroidered towels, all kinds of objects made of wood, wicker things, open shelves with boxes and bottles, hung up in a conspicuous place - anything.

Also, one should not forget about colorful curtains - an integral attribute of country style, of course, if the bathroom has a window. Curtains should be linen or chintz. In addition, textile bags for storing linen and wall pockets for small items sewn from coarse fabric will be appropriate. In addition, a "skirt" is sometimes made of fabric, located under the washbasin. On the walls you can put pictures in wooden frames with the image of simple landscapes.
In addition to all the above, a similar interior will be wonderfully complemented by flowers, for example, in pots or in vases and jugs.

Of the lighting, the most suitable are an old-style chandelier and an oil lamp. In other words, everything that is trendy and modern should be avoided, and fluorescent lamps containing inert gas will also be completely superfluous. Lamps with lampshades or pendant with an appearance resembling forged ones or with wooden inserts will look great.

For lovers of brighter lighting, you can use additional LEDs installed on the ceiling, however, do not overdo it so that harmony is not broken. In general, country-style lighting should be dim, even dim and not bright at all. After all, the main task in decorating a bathroom in a country style is to make the room reminiscent of a village house, i.e. It was just as cozy, original and charming.
