Bringing Barnwood into Your Bathroom
June 1, 2015 · oldbarnstar · 1 min read
When decorating or renovating your home, the bathroom should never be an afterthought. A considerable amount of time is spent there on a daily basis; so the space should be outfitted with furniture and fixtures that are uniquely you. Traditional bathroom staples like tile and marble can often leave the space feeling cold and uninviting. Custom-made barnwood furniture brings warmth to any space and provides a welcoming atmosphere. Not sure where to begin? Here are three ways you can incorporate reclaimed wood into your bathroom. Never Sacrifice Storage for Style Bathrooms are often the smallest room in your house. Therefore, making the most of the available space is extremely important. Custom barnwood vanities can help solve this problem, by providing ample storage space as well as rustic style. This Pine vanity with double sinks makes the most of a small space, giving an open storage area perfect for baskets.

Light Up Your Life Proper lighting is integral to any bathroom and reclaimed wood can be used to create unique lighting fixtures. For example, combining barnwood planks with pipes and mason jars creates a custom lighting fixture that fits right in with a rustic themed bathroom.

Provide Contrast With Accent Walls Reclaimed wood provides texture and contrast, making accent walls a natural fit for your bathroom. When installing a barnwood accent wall make sure to pay attention to its placement. A wall that won’t be splashed with water is ideal, as prolonged contact with water can damage the wood. This accent wall is placed behind the sink, providing nice contrast between the stark white porcelain countertop.
