Rustic masonry bathrooms: furnishing ideas and features
Rustic masonry bathrooms are an elegant and welcoming solution. Here are some tips on how to get the best results without spending a fortune!
Faced with the prospect of furnishing a home and creating a functional and cozy environment, many despair, while true furnishing enthusiasts rise to the challenge with enthusiasm, ready to take on the task with passion to realize their dreams and projects. Rustic masonry bathrooms will add warmth and elegance to your home without sacrificing comfort or functionality.
Whether they are furniture lovers or just people having trouble with an empty house yet to be furnished, the bathroom is a cross and a delight: certainly not the most fun room to furnish, but still one of the most important because it should meet the criteria of practicality and comfort and at the same time help to create the right atmosphere for relaxation and pampering.
The bathroom can be furnished with taste and special attention thanks to various solutions that make it furnished and comfortable to live on a par with other rooms, without sacrificing the practicality that should distinguish it. For example, bathroom cladding materials must guarantee immediate cleaning and easy hygiene, they must withstand steam and aggressive detergents such as acids, abrasive creams and washing powders.
At the same time, however, these characteristics of functionality and practicality should not take precedence over aesthetics, which can be very neat and attractive while maintaining the strength and practicality of materials.
There are basically three types of bathroom furnishings and decorations: classic, modern and rustic. When talking about the classics, it is not necessary to have in mind the demodicosis style, because all the latest collections of the best brands contain beautiful examples of updated classics, designed to recall the details of timeless elegance that do not affect the relevance of the home environment.
The modern stone masonry bathroom is chosen by those who want to break with traditional schemes, do not want to fall into the obvious and are looking for a touch of originality in all furnishings: the typical modern bathroom is a high-design bathroom that breaks the combinations of shapes and colors, focusing on the overall effect of modern style and often minimalist furniture style.
Its counterpart is the rustic-style bathroom, often and willingly made of masonry, inspired by the atmosphere of mountain chalets, examples of which are often found in typical restaurants and hotels.
Bathroom Masonry Features
Realizing a rustic masonry bathroom may seem simple at first glance, but in reality it involves a complex construction process that follows a careful architectural design of the space.
Masonry cladding can be made with brick, stone, lime or other materials. The rustic atmosphere of the bathroom is complemented by often special and refined furnishing elements, such as stone or wooden bathtubs, washbasin boiserie, curtains and carpets, which evoke a rustic and intimate atmosphere.
The value of masonry bathrooms lies precisely in the great aesthetic impact and the welcoming and relaxing atmosphere that this style manages to convey brilliantly without compromising the practicality of the bathroom.
The rustic bathroom, like no other type of bathroom, allows you to relax your mind and body, letting you know that the bathroom is a room to be lived in, to be used to the fullest, and not just as an aseptic place where you can devote yourself to hygienic tasks. In essence, the bathroom in its most modern sense should be like a small spa, created for you to relax and unwind.
Rustic bathrooms, furnishing ideas
The warm atmosphere of a rustic bathroom is mainly due to the materials used: stone masonry, white ceramic or natural stone, wood in the warmest and richest tones, elegant and refined wrought iron.
Rustic bathrooms are often accompanied by copper fittings and white linen or jute curtains, furnishing ideas in a style that evokes the past and gives character to the space. The stone masonry bathroom is an example of a versatile design that can be applied to both rustic and modern styles: once a suburban prerogative, today it is available to everyone in modern apartments in condominiums and metropolitan areas.
Combined with rustic cladding, masonry works at its best, with a characteristic layout for partition walls and compartment walls: ceramic, porcelain stoneware or even marble. Walls separate bathroom elements such as a bathtub and washbasin and can create niches and compartments.
This is especially valuable in terms of functionality and practicality of the bathroom: compartments can be used to store linen and towels, and small, skillfully placed spotlights can be placed in niches.
Doors and doors designed and built to order by artisan carpenters in their preferred material (mahogany, cherry, walnut, and precious ebony).
The design of a rustic masonry bathroom is entrusted to professional interior designers who, after a precise inspection and study of the exact floor plan, draw up a project and discuss it with the customer.
In the next step, the interior designer transforms the project into a realistic visualization that allows the client to see the virtual result before it is realized. Masonry work is entrusted to masons, and the creation of custom-made furniture is entrusted to craftsmen specializing in the manufacture of custom-made furniture.
The installation must be carried out with care, paying attention to the perfect integration of the elements with the installations (eg installation of lighting fixtures in rooms, connection of drainage, etc. ).
The masonry bathroom is ideal for all those who are not satisfied with the usual furniture from the catalog and want to create a unique and valuable environment in which to spend time devoting themselves to beauty care and hygiene, as well as relaxation and well-being.
As far as relaxation is concerned, the baths and showers to be placed in a rustic setting are usually larger than usual, and come with special rustic-themed covers. When it comes to laying a shower enclosure or a shower box, the floor that offers the best aesthetic result is undoubtedly realized with mosaic tiles.
To emphasize the finishes of materials, it is finally useful to equip the bathroom with good lighting and reflective surfaces. It is a good idea to hang a fairly large wall mirror that allows the play of light to increase the brightness of the room and bring out the colors of the stone, the nuances and texture of the wood.
Bathroom masonry, prices
niches and vertical wall spaces).
Each of these stages has an implementation cost, and the cost depends not only on the specialist you decide to trust, but also on the quality of the materials chosen for implementation, and on the size of the processed room.
To guarantee minimal savings, you can choose from ready-made and customizable integrated compositions, but only bespoke furniture can bring to your home that added value of care and craftsmanship that will make it valuable as well as comfortable.
With a good initial investment, you will see the value of your home grow, not only from a purely economic point of view, but also in terms of livability and comfort.
Laying a bathroom can cost an average of 4,000, 5,000 euros.
However, this is a purely indicative price, since it is the choice of materials that determines the final cost of the product. The estimate must be agreed depending on the type of work required, but it is possible to calculate the cost of restyling the bathroom and when ordering items via the Internet.
It's a good idea to compare a few offers from bathroom remodeling companies, this way you can save a lot of money, provided you know how to choose well according to the space and measures of your bathroom project.
Here is the feedback received from a blog reader:
Good morning, I am writing to tell you briefly about an episode that happened to me when I decided to redo the bathroom in my country house. I decided to completely redo it, and since I saw a masonry bathroom that I really liked, I decided to redo it in this way.
However, the guy who came to inspect the room told me that because it was a long and rather narrow room, a masonry bathroom would not be very aesthetically pleasing, so he recommended a traditional bathroom. Luckily, I didn't and tried to find out more.
So when my daughter suggested I apply to your site for offers, I did so and got to know the company, who then made me a beautiful brick bathroom! I am very glad.

When you hear about rustic, I want you to let go of the idea that this type of decor lacks style and sophistication. In fact, rustic décor can be absolutely beautiful, trendy, and inviting, especially if you like natural materials, simple lines, and the patina of age.
The spacious bathrooms are cozy, cozy and calm. Their neutral colors, natural materials and focus on practical simplicity make them a great choice for those who want to get away from the sterile look of modern or contemporary bathrooms.
Rustic bathroom colors
As mentioned above, rustic bathrooms are mostly neutral natural colors. Think natural wood and stone, runs and tans, browns and greys.
This natural palette can easily be embellished with leafy greens (shades, not food!) and even precious and floral tones. If you think it's too beige to be boring, you can expand the palette a little by using shades that remind you of natural space.
Medium wood tones are classics for rustic bathrooms, but using a balance of dark and light tones can also work well with good lighting.
Rustic bathroom materials
The materials for a rustic bedroom are quite simple: wood, stone, pebbles, wickerwork - anything you can find in nature and build yourself. You don't have to, but it's good to keep this idea in mind to decide what materials to use.
Reclaimed and recycled wood is popular these days because people know how to use new materials.
It's also a good way to cut costs and achieve a really rustic "habitual" look in your bathroom.
For showers, bathtubs and sinks, I suggest brass or brushed; something with a patina or retro design would be better than the shiny silver finish of your regular bathroom. Find a shade that matches the rest of your bathroom color scheme.
Rustic Kitchen Furniture
Bathroom The room with Shaker cabinets is sure to achieve a rustic look, but you can also use antique, reclaimed and recycled furniture and shelves. The whole point is that everything does not look too “new”, but beautifully aged and loving. Try to get retro faucet design to add to the rustic appeal.
For countertops, wood is definitely a good choice, but you can also go with stone like granite or marble.
Vessel or sinks work well in rustic bathrooms; ship shells are definitely more retro, but a little less practical, especially for shorter people. Wood or brass freestanding tubs work great in this style.
Rustic bathroom accessories
When shopping for accessories, stay away from anything that looks too new or modern. Instead of clean white towels, look for natural, unbleached cotton or shades that complement your neutral bathroom palette.
Select elements that look (or are) by hand. Stone and wood (or stone and wood) materials work best, especially if it's the same as the other materials in your bathroom.
If you need a shower curtain, go for one with multiple patterns (ideally not) and a natural shade like unbleached cotton.
Use curtains in the same shade as your equipment to tie the room together.
Other decorative items should remain simple and, well, rustic. Wicker basket, branch arrangement, hand throws and cushions, old chair with wicker seat; anything that reminds you of a farm or a cabin in the woods would fit in a bathroom like this.
Rustic beautiful
As you can see, rustic does not mean ugly and unsophisticated. There is much beauty in tradition, natural building materials and years of loving use.
❓ How to choose a classic bathroom design?
👉 Classic style bathroom design involves the use of expensive finishing materials - natural wood, marble, exclusive ceramic tiles. Fragments of walls, where there are no direct sources of water, can be covered with wallpaper with embossed or classic patterns, or plastered and decorated with hand-painted.
❓ How to choose bathroom furniture?
👉 The modern bathroom is filled with furniture of clear shapes and lines with a minimalist design. Most often these are items made of wood or MDF, as a cheaper base. The priority is hanging cabinets of compact size, which form a single volume. Their location is not limited by style rules, only by the features of space.
❓ How to choose a rustic bathroom?
👉 It is better to choose an oval-shaped bathtub with legs - modern models, as well as shower cabins, will violate the “purity of style”.
