We recently added a completely NEW bathroom to our basement. Meaning there was no bathroom there just an empty storage space and lots of work to do to install a bathroom. It’s a pretty big mess cutting through concrete for plumbing and sewer lines. I couldn’t wait to get to the fun details like decorating and styling. Since I was the designer and project manager on this room I get to call the shots. So, I decided to do a farmhouse bathroom theme because I love the character and feel of the farmhouse look. Isn’t there something about a farmhouse feel that is homey and invitin?. I like to think this farmhouse bathroom has a farmhouse-modern look.
I couldn’t resist planking the walls with the rustic weathered look using new wood. See the tutorial for the how-to.
Farmhouse Bathroom IKEA Style
IKEA’s products were mainly used to decorate and style the bathroom. Walking through IKEA to see what new products they have is always gratifying. To see what can be used for a farmhouse look was just plain fun!!
Details on how I created this NEW bathroom from a storage room will be forthcoming soon.
To create the farmhouse look, I used warm whites, whites, grays, galvanized metals and worn wood decor with touches of greenery.
Modern floating EKBY shelves were installed on one wall. One of the great ideas behind this shelf and bracket is you can cut the shelf (if needed shorter) and the raw edge of the shelf won’t show due to the end bracket.
It takes me a while to style shelves. Rarely do I get it right the first time – sometimes it takes several times to move everything around to make it work. Neutrals work well for styling shelves with a pop of color here and there. Eventually it will all come together. My tip: just keep trying!
The BURKEN jar reminds me of a glass canning jar which of course, is just right for a farmhouse feel and the perfect storage jar to use for cotton balls, swabs etc. Galvanized metal pots with the FEJKA plants adds just the right amount of greenery.
How does this carpenters looking wood box look holding toiletries. It’s new at IKEA and it’s called a SKOGSTA box with handle.
Make sure to visit our post on how to make a weathered rustic wood wall from new wood. It was super easy and inexpensive!
Hanging and storing towels on the HJALMAREN wall shelf is just the perfect farmhouse look! And look at the toilet roll holder – it shouts “old” and “farmy”?
The wicker basket, flowers, galavanized metal pot, towels and towel hooks all from IKEA. I have had a lot of requests about this shower curtain. It was purchased here.
Look close – there is a very soft rug on the floor under the flower pot. It’s the TOFTO bath mat and it just looks warm and inviting sitting there – just waiting for someone to take a shower ; )
The shower caddy works great with the galvanized steel shower walls.
The round mirror was originally a light color (possibly a beechwood). I stained it warm brown/gray to match the interior. Milk buckets are usually found on a farm and this galvanized bucket looks just like an old milk bucket/pail (without all the grime) and it’s perfect for a trash can. The sink vanity was purchased at Lowes.
I really, really, really like how this textured weathered wood wall turned out. You won’t believe how easy it was to create this wall. I purchased inexpensive new wood and shared a blog post on How To Create a Weathered Rustic Wood Wall.

Where is the Hey y’all sign from?
Hi Shelley!
The y’all sign is from Hobby Lobby.
Toni
I really love the towel storage. What did you install for the rods? And where did you get them? I noticed it’s not the shelves that are included.
Hi Jenny,
Thank you for your nice comments! The towel holder looks like a ladder! It’s listed on the post as the HJÄLMAREN.
Toni
I had a hard time finding it too, but after a little more research, I found it on Ikea’s Canada site.
Good to know. Thank you!!!
Great bathroom! We are in the process of building and I have some galvanized tin that I am wanting to use. Did y’all install the tin wall around the tub? Would love to see the whole finished project…. ;o)
I appreciate you nice comments, Danna! Yes, the galvanized tin was install on the wall around the shower basin. I’ll try to post about it in the next couple of weeks. One tip: use lots of clear silicone sealant to cover any crevices, joints, holes, seams etc.
Thank you,
Toni

Love your Bathroom. We have just finished remodeling ours and are in the fun process of decorating it!! Was wondering if the blinds were from IKEA as well. Hoping to find some just a little bit darker.
Hi Karolann,
The blinds are from amazon (aff)https://amzn.to/2cHGgS7
I love the towel rack. However, when I go to the Ikea website, the hjalmaren shelf actually has wooden shelves instead of rungs. How long ago did you purchase it? I REALLY want one for our bathroom remodel.
Hi Molly,
I purchased the shelf in March of 2016. Maybe they redesigned it. That is a bummer because I like the rungs too!!
Good luck!
I’d love to know where you found the ampersand wood decor!
Tina,
I found the ampersand at Hobby Lobby. You might also be able to find one here https://amzn.to/2glOQWm (aff)
Where did the sign come from that says Hey Y’yall ..?
Hobby Lobby : )
Is been 6 months or so since you posted this. How is the galvanized metal wall holding up? Would love to put this in my guest bath shower, which isn’t used a whole lot, but want to make sure it doesn’t rust, etc. I’m too old (and hubby also) to have to worry about pulling this all out and redoing. 🙂
Hi Jane!
The shower is used daily and it looks brand new! I will try to update with a post and pictures of what it looks like now. Thanks for asking.
