Things you WILL find:
Shaker-style vanity
The graceful simplicity of Shaker-style cabinetry is well-suited to farmhouse bathrooms. Shaker-style cabinets can be painted or simply finished to allow the natural beauty of the wood grain to show through.
Barn lighting
The bold shape and industrial styling of barn lighting adds a stylish touch to farmhouse bathrooms. Look for pendants and sconces in classic galvanized steel or brightly colored powder-coated steel. Looking for something a bit different? Try simple glass bell- or cylinder-shaped vanity lighting with traditional or filament bulbs.
Claw-Foot Bathtub
An iconic claw-foot tub immediately adds farmhouse character.
Trough Sink
An apron-front or trough sink ramp up the rural character of farmhouse bathrooms.
