I think the key difference between a farmhouse and a country cottage farmhouse is the tones of white used. The country version always uses warm tones, light beiges, ivory, and creams. Try incorporating these warm tones if you want a cozier aesthetic. Framed photos hang on the ivory walls above a simple basket on the toilet holding a plant and a few essentials. A tall portrait window casts gorgeous sunlight onto the layered bathmats next to the bath and shower with a simple patterned curtain.

After a hard day of work, nothing is better than showering off all that stress in a clean yet welcoming space. Nothing embraces that mixture of homey warmth and clean freshness like a white farmhouse bathroom. These charming spaces effortlessly combine rustic simplicity with a clean, fresh aesthetic.
It’s easy to believe that white bathrooms can look sterile or cold, but nothing could be further from the truth. Add variation with different shades, incorporate wood or metallic accents, and maximize texture with fun tile selections. From subway tiles to shiplap walls and from vintage fixtures to reclaimed wood accents, join me as we explore some gorgeous examples of white farmhouse bathrooms where modern comforts merge seamlessly with the rustic charm we all know and love.

03 of Cozy Traditional Bathroom

My favorite part of this bathroom is the pale blue countertop; I love seeing little nods to the home’s history, like keeping the classic baby blue in the bathroom. It is modernized with white painted cabinets and black hardware, making it look chic and current. The patterned tile on the floor below elevates the room’s entire look with a fun, modern design.
04 of Black and White Farmhouse Bathroom

If you are going for the more modern farmhouse aesthetic, using black hardware is the perfect way to modernize the space while keeping it traditional and chic. The black faucets, drawer handles, mirror, and even shower heads contrast against the white beautifully and even match the black grout and black and white tiled shower inset.
05 of Elegant White Farmhouse Spa

I adore apron sinks with heritage bridge faucets in kitchens. I never imagined seeing these beauties in a bathroom, but wow, they look amazing. The classic sinks are paired with rustic wooden mirrors and drawers with leather pulls. A plant rests between the sinks and echos the green in the cactus tapestry hung above the toilet. Altogether, this room is styled to be a boho farmhouse spa, and I wish it were mine.
06 of Chic White Tranquility

Gold hardware, a marble countertop, and white cabinets mix with perfectly arched mirrors, a Persian rug, and an elegantly curved wall scone. Is there anything this bathroom doesn’t have? This gorgeous space is styled with an earthenware vessel holding olive branches resting next to a few containers on a simple wooden tray.
07 of Rustic Ivory Charm

Ivory shiplap meets an adorable simple printed wallpaper in this cozy bath, adorned with an antique photo hung next to a wood-framed mirror. The light gray and white countertop is minimally decorated with a plant, candle, and tissue holder.
08 of Black and White Tiled Tranquility
PHOTO:
You can’t go wrong with black and white, especially with tile. These tiles are also grouted with black grout, which is an incredible choice as you won’t see dirt build up like white grout. I always suggest darker grout to friends and family when they’re redoing bathrooms, especially if they have small children! The black and white design perfectly matches the penny tile floors and white vanity with black hardware along the wall.

This modern bathroom has a gorgeous double vanity that stands under two matching mirrors and sconces. The counter is topped with a vase holding lush greenery and black faucets to match the soap dispensers. However, what adds character and life to this room are the stunning geometric tile tiles on the floor, showcased with the black grout that allows them to pop.

The bathroom looks so fresh with the bright white colors from the walls to the cabinetry and accents. The white makes this space appear larger and brighter. Remember what Jeremiah Brent says: “Never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of white paint.”

This gorgeous farmhouse bathroom features a simple white vanity with a marbled countertop and a vintage chrome faucet. A large square mirror rests above the vanity, reflecting the rest of the bath, creating a larger appearance in the space. A rustic stool rests to the side, holding a towel and candle.
12 of Subway Tiles and Soft Sage

You can never go wrong with classic white subway tiles and a little pop of color. Simple and stunning white subway tiles with black grout contrast against the lovely light sage green color on the walls of this bathroom. A beautiful fern is hung from the wooden ceilings, adding another ton of green to the space and some organic lines.

This large and luxurious bathroom features his and hers vessel sinks mounted on a butcher block countertop, a large standing shower, and a separate free-standing tub with large windows to let in tons of light. The white-marbled walls contrast against all the black hardware and dark gray shower tiling. The wood countertop, rustic bath stool, and hanging plant add natural material and life to this gorgeous heaven.
14 of Fresh and Crisp Oasis

White is such a staple color for bathrooms, especially a farmhouse bath. White is the perfect color to pick for a neutral look because it is crisp, bright, and fresh, all things you want in small bathrooms. Here the room is further expanded with a large round mirror that matches the elegant chrome fixtures of the vessel sink.
15 of Shiplap Sanctuary
PHOTO:
Shiplap and farmhouse are synonymous with each other at this point, and for good reason! Shiplap creates that cozy, warm, lived-in look while being versatile enough to go in any room of the house. If you use it in the bathroom, use moisture-resistant panels, often labeled with ‘MR’ or, better yet, use PVC shiplap for full waterproofing.
16 of Stand Alone Tub and Wooden Accents
PHOTO:
Imagine soaking in a nice full bubble bath after a hard day of work, a wooden tray holding all your bathing essentials and towels right at your feet in an adorable wicker basket for when you are done. Not to mention the charming little stool would be perfect for a scented candle or fresh flowers to add a gorgeous scent to the whole experience. A rattan light fixture hung above adds rustic charm to illuminate your bath.
17 of Simple, Bright, and Airy Vanity Display

A penny-tiled floor leads up to a simple vanity sink with a beautiful marbled counter and lots of storage. The counter is styled with a jar of cotton rounds, a soap dispenser, a toothbrush holder, and a gorgeous pink rose resting in a glass bottle.

I need these mirrors; talk about stunning! The gorgeous arched detailing, warm wood tone, and ideal size make them perfect for any space, especially in a white farmhouse bath where they can stand out. The white vanity and sink give them their moment to shine. A white bathroom doesn’t mean everything has to be white or muted; it gives you the perfect canvas to experiment with special pieces and let them pop.
19 of All-white Relaxing Ensuite

A large, gorgeous painting of flowers is mounted on the wall above a large free-standing tub with a center-mounted black faucet. A young fiddle leaf fig plant rests next to the tub on the penny-tiled floors near the large glass-standing shower. Stick with one color in different shades for a cohesive design with subtle variations.
20 of Fresh Ivory Escape
PHOTO:
Wooden signs like the one above the toilet are classic farmhouse decor; you can find various options everywhere or even easily make your own DIY sign with a custom quote or funny saying. Shelves are mounted above the toilet on white shiplap and display a few plants, jars, and trinkets. Use vertical space in your smaller rooms to maximize storage and decor opportunities!
21 of Fresh White Bathroom
PHOTO:
I love the nod to barn doors with the over-bar fixture on the white framed mirror about the sink in this bathroom. The black metal matches the faucet and other fixtures in the room. A few prints are hung about the room with wooden frames displaying simple yet elegant line art.
22 of Relaxing White Winter Retreat
PHOTO:
This wintery bathroom features crisp white tiling, a soft ivory wall color, and green pine trees sprinkled about. I love incorporating scents to tell the story of a season, so a Christmas candle is the perfect addition, resting on the white countertop next to the simple sink with a brushed chrome faucet.
