Cottage Bathroom Ideas

The bright, airy nature of cottage decorating has the unique ability to both energize and relax the spirit. Bring that harmony to your bathroom retreat with these cottage decorating ideas.

Cottage-style decorating traditionally calls for a lot of white to create its trademark airy and open ambience. But there's always room for color. In a bathroom, look to tile backsplashes and shower-tub walls to add significant personality with color and tile style. In this bathroom, subway tile in variegated green hues lends an updated look to a classic approach. For less permanent color additions, use towels and shower curtains to energize the space.

• Refurbished and repurposed furniture is a hallmark of cottage design. A bathroom offers many opportunities for this charming touch, starting with the classic claw-foot tub. If you can't find an old one worthy of restoration, choose a high-quality reproduction. A vintage dresser transformed into a vanity is another favorite for cottage baths. In this bathroom, an old display case is pretty and useful for linen storage.
