Published: November 9, 2021

Updated: October 30, 2023

White is a popular color among modern farmhouses and tiny homes alike thanks to its minimal feel, neutrality, and fresh aesthetic. As of late, we’re particularly head over heels for white bathrooms with wood accents.

Sprinkling a handful of wood accents into a white bathroom is a winning combo for creating a captivating design decor brimming with texture and warmth. Plus, wooden accents can be added with any budget, while being curated to your décor taste. For example, a white bathroom with wood accents looks rustic or antiquated when distressed wood is embraced. On the flip side, wood stained in a uniform finish has a sleek and rich feel, making it ideal for traditional and mid-century modern bathrooms. Craving a Scandinavian vibe? Light wood paired with white is a timeless classic for the Nordic look.

There are endless ways to curate white bathrooms with wood accents. Here are 20 of our favorites! These bright and airy bathrooms are more than just a place to wash up—they are prime examples of how to juxtapose plain surfaces, artfully decorate small bathrooms, and give a white bathroom a wealth of warmth.

They not only contrast the white shiplap and duo of round black mirrors but look extra crisp with pops of green foliage added for Christmas.

Another option is to go with a distressed finish for a wood bathroom mirror. This farmhouse bathroom mirror is primarily white with a darker wood tone exposed on distressed areas, making it look like a minimalist piece of art.

Color Blocking Champion

Photo: the_simple_farmhouse

The texture of the painted white bricks and honeycomb tile floors in this bathroom is stunning, but the subtle color blocking through the wooden stool and woven baskets takes it to the next level. Love the look? You can buy color block décor, but you can DIY color block baskets—or almost anything—by taping off the area with painters’ tape and painting one side. This leaves you with a crisp line between colors and a captivating look!

11 Things You Need To Know Before Painting Doors Black

Sophisticated, stunning, and striking are all words that come to mind when I think of black doors. This dramatic hue fits perfectly with a classic or traditional style, elevates modern and contemporary dwellings, and adds a unique update to farmhouse design. Black doors are often associated with strength, power, and opportunity, which makes them a popular choice on so many levels (certapro.com/blog/residential/front-door-color-meanings/#::text=When used to paint front,connected to stillness and wealth).

I’m a proponent of making a statement from the front door that lets visitors know what to expect when they enter your home. Continuing black doors throughout your home is a phenomenal strategy to create continuity and flow throughout your home. But it doesn’t have to stop there! Black trim, accent pieces, and furniture can help achieve a similar look depending on your style and taste. Don’t believe me? Then, check out this sensational gallery of homes with black doors below and get ready to be impressed.

Dining Room

Do I Need a Formal Dining Room, or Is It a Waste of Space?

When my husband and I were purchasing our first home, my mother-in-law asked me whether or not I would miss having a formal dining room. Considering it was just the two of us then, the answer was a resounding “No!” After all, I was not about to host grand dinner parties or family gatherings, and we had plenty of family to visit for holidays and celebrations. And unfortunately, our budget did not stretch to a large enough home to include a separate dining room.

Fast-forward six years, and my answer may have changed. Now, with two kids, we’re much more likely to host family gatherings, and having a large, separate area would be a dream. Many of our readers and contributors agree with me, while others find that a larger kitchen serves the same function with more connectivity (jjonesdesignco.com/blogs/the-great-debate-open-concept-vs-traditional-floor-plans). If you’re unsure where your opinion lies, read on for the best advice and insights our readers can offer. You may find you end up changing your mind after seeing what they have to say!
