What to Look for in a Modern Cottage Bathroom
As an owner of a cottage, the same rules that apply to a home or apartment don’t apply to the cottage when it comes to its bathroom and kitchen. For one thing, you have less space available to create these welcoming, yet practical spaces, and it is even more important for you to maximise every bit of space available.
You will be hard pressed to find anything cosier than a rustic, country-feel cottage bathroom. Low ceilings and inviting alcoves are the norm for most cottage bathrooms, and can really help to make the space feel more unique and interesting, especially if your cottage offers rustic features, such as exposed beams.
Finding a style that complements your existing space can be quite challenging, but it’s an exciting project to undertake too. If you are remodelling a rustic cottage bathroom, we have a few tips that can help you along the way. Here are a few things to keep in mind to get the most out of your cottage bathroom space, and how to make the space work around your needs.
Less Tends to Be More
When it comes to the design of cottage bathrooms, there is a general rule of thumb, which is that less is more. Simplicity really is key here if you want to create a look that is harmonious with the space. This is especially true for a room that features timber floors or exposed beams, both of which can end up really dominating a space.
Many cottage bathrooms also tend to be smaller in size, and this is often emphasised by the shape of the room, as well as other aspects, such as low ceilings, eaves and sloping ceilings. If, like many cottage owners, you have limited space to work with, the last thing you want is for your bathroom design to end up feeling cluttered.
Neutral Colours
Another expert tip to helping you get the most out of your bathroom space is to keep colours neutral. Cottage bathrooms tend to flourish with neutral colours, as they complement the overall style of the rest of the property. Cottages with existing features, such as exposed beams or timber floors, exude a natural and effortless rustic style, which should also be reflected in its décor.
You can easily accentuate these features with neutral coloured furniture and exciting accessories to help create a truly country cottage appeal. Many South African cottages, by design, also tend to have smaller windows, which lets in little to no natural light. Use neutral tones along with off-white colours to create a lighter and breezier space.
