I’m looking for a new bathroom theme for my country style home. Any ideas?
Country, huh? Then in my book, there one style you have to try — outhouse bathroom decor!
Is your home filled with country style accessories? Do you have a whimsical sense of humor? Then outhouse bathroom decor might be just the theme you’re looking for. It evokes a rustic and simple style and you know people are yearning to go back to the ol’ country feel of and an easy life, free of the pressures that city living can place on us all.
Of course, it is the appearance of an outhouse bathroom decor and not the reality folks crave. No one wants to go back to the real old days, just look-alike old days! Decorating the bath with an outhouse bathroom theme is a popular style and there are lots and lots of options. Here are three easy and fun-filled ideas to create your own outhouse decor.
Create a Rustic Background for Your Outhouse Bathroom Design
Before even adding all the cute outhouse bathroom decor elements, you need to create the right background and “rustic” is just the answer. It can change the typical modern bathroom into a warm and welcome space. The use of wood and wooden finishes to the walls, floors, and features can be a beautiful touch. Real hardwood floors in a water rich environment may not be a good idea, but a faux wood floor in laminate or vinyl is a terrific way around that problem. In addition, the use of faux beams with hanging silk plants will add a natural, as well as rustic appeal that speaks of country living even in an uptown setting.
Add Outhouse Decor Accessories
It is said that the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is in the accessories. Replacing modern fixtures with ones that are vintage looking is a wonderful way to put that little bit of memory lane in the bath. An old style footed tub or old style faucets or showerheads are just the beginnings of ways to change cold modern into warm outhouse bathroom decor. Creative ways to present the toilet paper, such as using an old looking tin pail or an enameled bowl to hold the paper add another layer of the down home look. Pictures of outhouses with great landscape backgrounds would be yet another way to add that homey look, as would using wallpaper with forest scenes, and adding silk plants to the room.
Outhouse Bathroom Decor Artwork… Just So Cute
Putting up artwork in the primitive style on the walls can add a whimsical touch to your outhouse bathroom theme. Antique or antique looking birdhouses and birdcages can be a fun decoration. So can old timey signs and needlepoint pictures. They make lovely homemade-looking final touches and work well in an outhouse bathroom decor.
Outhouse bathroom decor can make this necessary part of a home be welcoming and fun, evoking the past in a modern world and keeping the rich family traditions of country alive!
It’s all about accessories, especially when it comes to bathrooms. And with so many accessories available in so many different bathroom themes, it’s easy and cheap to change. Outhouse bathroom decor is a favorite because it’s so fun. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on the face of anyone you visits your bathroom. It might be a funny sign on the door or a toilet set cover with outhouse designs, like this one to the right. Actually, this isn’t even a toilet set, but an applique (or tattoo, if you prefer) that you can apply to your existing set. It works on the painted white one, not a wood seat. What I like about this applique is that as easy as it goes on, it comes off that easily, too. Outhouse Bathroom Decor – Toilet Seat Tattoo
