Bring White Country to Your Bathroom Design
As you'redesign your bathroom you may want to consider bringing a touch of white country to the look of your new project. With some of the pieces that you choose, whether it's your bath or a new basin, you can combine different elements to complete your look of white country.
Your Bath
The bathtub will most likely be the focal point of your bathroom, so make it an elegant choice that carries your theme of interior design. By incorporating an elegant freestanding tub, for example, with a roll-top edge, you can add a touch of charm to your bathroom. Either choose a suite of fixtures or add a basin with a period-style to complement the look of your bath. Make sure that you have enough room for the style of bath that you want. Be sure to measure any doorways on the route that your bath will take during the installation process so that you won?t have to do any additional remodelling just to get your new bath into the bathroom.
The Colours
To establish the colour palate in your bathroom, your bath should be white or an off-white colour. The plumbing fixtures and lighting that you choose should complement the legs of the tub (if it has legs). The accessories and linens that you use can provide a splash of colour to the entire room. You can carry the white country theme to artwork, sculptures, and other displays that you have around your bathroom. Remember that you will need a place for soaps, shampoos, and other bathing accessories. Try repurposing some old pieces of furniture which can add character and charm to your bathroom design.

Walls and Flooring
If you use painted panelling around your freestanding bath, you?ll capture a country feel that makes your bathroom look timeless and elegant. Use large flooring tiles which will set the bath apart from the rest of the room and give a country look to your bathroom. Continue the colour of your tiles with smaller tiles on the walls opposite your bath for a streamlined look that makes smaller spaces look larger. Remember to use white shelving, some mirrors, a few plants, and other accent pieces to tie in your walls and flooring with the other elements of design in your bathroom.
Natural Lighting
Try positioning your freestanding bathtub in front of a large window dressed with sheer curtains or white blinds that can be opened or raised when you are not bathing. Using natural light gives a comfortable feeling to your bathroom and can add an ambiance to your new design that is inviting as well as pleasing. You can use other forms of lighting to provide you with enough light to apply your make-up or to shave, but use fixtures that coordinate with your bath, the colours of your palate, and the country theme that you are developing.
