Bathroom Must-Haves
Now that we’ve covered the dos and don’ts of this style, let’s turn our attention to some of the items your bathroom should have.
1. A Vintage Mirror
Everyone who walks into your bathroom will see your mirror. Therefore, getting a lovely vintage mirror is a great way to tie your modern farmhouse theme together! One option is our Gleaming Primrose Mirror | French Gold Ornate Filigree. It provides exceptional value and is much more than just a reflection.
Alternatively, our Swiveling Vintage Oval Bathroom Mirror provides perfect farmhouse appeal. Its durable build, vintage style, and versatile mounting options. It’s also multipurpose, in case you decide to switch it out at some point. It’ll look fantastic in a bathroom, bedroom, hallway, and more.
2. Mason Jar Lamps
Mason jars can fill many roles in your bathroom. Plus, nothing will make it look like a modern farmhouse quite like using mason jars! For now, though, let’s focus exclusively on mason jar lamps. Our Mason Jar Vanity Lamps are the perfect statement piece. Created from metal and glass, these mason jars feel timeless, not trendy. Furthermore, the mason jar shades offer an inviting, warm glow.
Another option is our Mason Jar Lamp with Star Design. Sold individually, these lamps provide a country chic vibe with a classic farmhouse aesthetic. They feature timeless beauty, and they’re full of character. Additionally, they have a raised star pattern. Their eye-catching design is a stylish addition to any room, including your modern farmhouse bathroom!
3. Vanities
Getting a farmhouse vanity mirror often means choosing a wood-toned option. At the same time, they offer matte black hardware and functional features. Moreover, certain modern farmhouse vanity styles use texture for added depth. Our first option is the Distressed White Adjustable Wood Vanity Mirror. At 18 inches, it’s ideal for smaller spaces. It has a rustic distressed finish and an adjustable pivot design. In fact, its ability to adjust is the best part as it means no more awkward leaning!
Another top-notch vanity option is our Distressed Round Tabletop Tilting Vanity Mirror. Created from metal, glass, and wood, it features an antique finish to make it perfect for your modern farmhouse bathroom. This vanity exudes personality and charm! Plus, you can move it from place to place, if desired.
4. Soap Dispensers and Soap Dishes
One thing everyone could use in their bathroom is an abundance of soap! Whether you choose to offer guests liquid or bar soap, it’s nice to ensure that it’ll be adorned in the modern farmhouse style. First up is our Double Mason Jar Soap Dispenser. It comes with a soap and lotion dispenser organized in a caddy. Since the mason jar was patented in 1858, it has become a cultural icon. Therefore, it’s ideal for your modern farmhouse bathroom.
If bar soap is more your thing, turn to our Painted Café Soap Dish Set of 2. Crafted from chippy enamel, these soap dishes are as beautiful as they are functional. The neutral color makes them match anything, and they can go in your bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room. Regardless of where you place them, they’ll add plenty of charm and character to your home.
5. Towel Holders
Another item that you’ll want for your bathroom is a towel holder. Of course, because you’re building a modern farmhouse aesthetic, you’ll need to choose carefully. The good news is we have two different options that will look fantastic in your bathroom. If you want your bathroom to have a truly unique look, try our Weathered Water Spigot Towel Holder Set of Two. They’ve been built to last and feature an authentic vintage vibe.
If our Spigot Towel Holder doesn’t do it for you, then you’ve got to check out our Water Pump Soap and Towel Holder. This piece stands alone, rather than being attached to the wall. One of the best parts is that each piece is unique, thanks to their distressed finish. It’s a functional, classic piece that will look great in your bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room.
6. Toilet Paper Holder
Toilet paper holders are often overlooked when redecorating the bathroom. However, they can really help tie the entire look together. For example, our Cast Iron Toilet Paper Holder is eye-catching, functional, and has a rustic design. Built for modern farmhouses, this also has lots of industrial charm.
We’ve also got our Galvanized Metal Toilet Paper Caddy, for those who want less of an industrial feel. It also offers something that many toilet paper holders don’t; room for two rolls of toilet paper! Another way to use the extra space is with a piece of farmhouse decor.
