Country Bathroom Vanities and Themes

Country bathroom vanities not only look great but they can also add a lot of character to your home. Just keep in mind that if your home doesn’t fit the country style these type of bathroom vanities will not work very well for you. Are you tired of trying to figure out what type of vanities you should place in your bathroom. Here is a video that may just help you even if you have a small bathroom.

Country bathroom vanities are like a multifaceted diamond. Often, when one looks at one side, he or she cannot see the other sides. However, if one looks at all sides and steps back to look at the diamond from a distance he or she will be able to see all the magnificence of the diamond facets and how they work together. Taken apart, each individual vanity does not create the country scene; taken together, each vanity is part of a masterpiece.

Standard Design of Country Bathroom Vanities

Most bathrooms house faucets, knobs, curtains, towels, and other bathroom furniture. Country bathroom vanities are characterized by bronze faucets, which give a pastime look. Bronze is a more rusted color than gold, and everyone knows that gold (as does silver) rusts over time. The knobs on the bathroom cabinets and drawers should also be bronzed, since this gives the impression of an earlier time period. You can use various knob shapes and sizes, but you want the knobs to look as early as the rest of your country bathroom vanities. If you have any metals as part of the material used for your bathroom vanities, be sure to use oil rubbed bronze, as this preserves some sort of shine in the material itself while retaining the look of early American days.

Next, you want to match your bathroom curtains with the rest of your country bathroom vanities. The curtains should carry the same country theme; for this, you can use stars, quilted patch designs, and even berries to create the country impression. Stars create the scene of the country night sky, patch designs symbolize the quilt-making work of mothers and grandmothers gone by, and berries (strawberries, raspberries, etc.) evoke memories of picking fruit in the summertime. Be sure to match the shower curtains and window curtain. The tub should be a claw-foot tub, whether you want an American country theme or a French country theme to your bathroom.

The Right Elements With Country Bathroom Vanities

Hand towels and washcloths can be placed on wrought iron towel racks in your country bathroom vanities. The wrought iron creates the impression of the hard work ethic of so many who lived in rural areas and worked hard just to get by from day to day. The bathroom mirror should have wood around it, as wood was the furniture material of the time. Bathroom counters should have stone material to provide a “carved” or “wrought” feel to your bathroom setting.

The bathroom floor and your country bathroom vanities will complete the bathroom setting. The floor should be white tile with some sort of large shapes embedded within it. If you want other accessories, such as soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, candles, and a medicine cabinet, feel free to match them with the country atmosphere the other vanity accessories have already created. You can buy a soap dispenser that shows two children standing at a lemonade stand, where the sign says “lemonade for ten cents,” or a sign for berry picking, or a “no trespassing” sign. If messages on your soap dispensers do not please, then you can always aim for wire soap dispensers. After all, wire was the material used for soap dispensers when they were first made. Homemade signs in your bathroom should have messages on them as well, to match the soap dispenser and toothbrush containers.

There are several “country” themes you can use for your country bathroom vanities: English, French, Italian, Victorian, Cottage, and American. The French country design uses wood or wrought iron for countertops, porcelain basins, and muted colors such as blue, white, and beige. Wrought chandeliers, an antique lamp, a huge mirror with a wooden frame, and white, scented candles complete the look.
