Farmhouse Bathroom Mirror Ideas

Farmhouse home decor is a trending style idea, developing on from the Cottage Core trend seen in lockdown when people had ideas of moving out of the city but settled on creating the look in their urban homes.

A farmhouse bathroom mirror will be part of the overall design so it’s important that it is matched with the other items and accessories you have in your scheme. 

Though your mirror will be made from the usual materials you would find for a bathroom mirror, there are some details that shouldn’t be ignored. So read on for the most perfect bathroom mirror style ideas!

Shaped Black Farmhouse Mirror

If you have the country charm in your bathroom of a wood vanity, shiplap painted wall, vintage faucet and beautiful styling, then you’ll need the perfect mirror to match.

A black metal framed antique style mirror will complement that look perfectly. Think stylish, slightly ornate and country. The metal contrasts with the wood so that each feature stands out in its own way. A beautiful finish.

Classic Farmhouse Mirror Beauty

If you have a clapboard house with a shiplap wall and hardwood floor, then you might like a wood vanity in your bathroom.

Effortlessly elegant is a classic shaped metal framed mirror. A long oblong shaped mirror with detailing at the top gives a twist of sophistication in this olde worlde look. A simple white vase with some soft foliage will set it off wonderfully.

Simple Farmhouse Monochrome

If you’re thinking of a farmhouse that is simple and romantic, then your bathroom would look great with white washed walls and elegant metal accessories. 

A mirror, while being decorative, can also have added practical features. A gorgeous black metal mirror contrasts with a silver color faucet. And what’s more with a little shelf it can contain your toothbrush and toiletries or perhaps a small trailing plant. Effortlessly pretty.

Black Oval Mirrors

If you are lucky enough to have twin sinks in your bathroom then you’ll need a pair of mirrors, matching of course. 

Against a chunky wood vanity, simple black oval mirrors look both rustic and yet highly modern. Keep all accessories in no more than two tones for a neat, fashionable look.

Wood on Wallpaper 

If we think of a farmhouse bathroom we may picture antique fixtures and furniture, old style hardware and perhaps wallpaper on the wall. 

To set off an intricate wallpaper pattern it’s best then to keep any adornments plain. So an easy addition to the farmhouse look is the simplest of wood mirrors, rectangular and plain. Pretty as a picture.

Wood on Wood

For fans of Western movies like The Revenant then your idea of the farmhouse look might be a wood cabin in the hills. This is perfectly acceptable – and easy to recreate.

Just think wood! Lumber, and plenty of it. You’ll have natural shiplap or cabin style walls with simple white basin, preferably a bowl style atop a wood vanity. 

So when it comes to the mirror – choose wood! A natural, chucky yet smooth mirror will give this old cabin a touch of sophistication.

Wood on Shiplap

There’s not much that’s cuter in home decor than a country-inspired white shiplap wall. It makes you think of sunny days and cornfields right away!

Ongoing with the wood mirror theme, for a rustic finish on this wall, choose a large rectangular, dull-toned wood framed mirror. 

Then, what will complete this design is a gorgeous classic wall sconce light over the mirror. Perfect!

Wood with Pastel Paint Wall

Mid-tone warm wood mirrors look every bit on trend with black metal detailing. They sit beautifully on a sage green painted wall. Cozy farmhouse style all the way.

This look needs a little clutter for the comfy feel so add matching shelves and some luscious green pot plants. Simple to recreate but amazingly effective.

Ornate Farmhouse Bathroom Mirror

You can have a touch of opulence in a farmhouse bathroom. Think of Grandma chic and voila, mixed with simple bathroom fixings, an ornate metal mirror looks beautifully 19th century. You can almost imagine going to fetch up water from the well!

A good place to source for an antique mirror is your local antique or junk store but you can also find good reproductions online.

In Summary

If you have a gorgeous farmhouse style bathroom then it’s important to get the details right. So choosing a mirror to complement your decor is important. 

If you have wood walls you might want to contrast with metal to be super on-trend. But if you love that traditional rustic look, you’ll want to pile on the lumber and choose a natural wood framed mirror. 

Whichever mirror frame and shape you choose, make sure your accessories complement the look. Fine styling with simple plants or vases and antique style hardware will be just right for your farmhouse bathroom.
