Sometimes the best design choice you can make for a cabin filled with wood accents is to stick to neutral accent colors.
Whether it’s the tile, cabinetry, or other little details in your bathroom, choosing nice creamy beiges and browns will compliment wood walls well.
Add depth and texture with vases and towels in complimentary neutrals to avoid a washed out look.
3. Corner Shelf with Bath Accessories

A fun and beautiful way to utilize space in a small cabin bathroom is to build custom shelving around your tub or shower.
If you have an open tub like the bathroom above, you can fill the shelf with cute accessories that will bring life and personality to the room.
When it comes to space saving options for cabin bathroom ideas, a DIY tub shelf is the perfect blend of form and function.

When styling a cabin bathroom, it’s best to use a lot of natural materials and rustic decor that will compliment the cabin aesthetic.
That being said, sometimes it can be really lovely to pair natural textures with modern accents! The bathroom above is a great example of how to do this well.
Wicker baskets make great storage options if you have a lot of open shelving. Pair this Earthy weave with string lights and metallic accents for a more modern touch.
5. Rustic Style Latch Windows

If the bathroom you’re working with is particularly small, sometimes there just isn’t room for additional decor.
When this is the case, making changes to the preexisting features of the room is a great way to bring in more of that rustic cabin feel.
For a bathroom window, consider swapping out the framing for a beautiful natural wood, or adding an old-fashioned latch or window pull for a vintage touch.
6. Repurposed Large Windows

One of my favorite things about this bathroom and the designers who created it is their use of vintage and repurposed barn windows.
Cabin Bathroom ideas should be all about how to connect the indoors with the outdoors. My goal for a cabin space is always to feel united with nature.
Unique and large windows is the perfect way to draw your attention outside and make you feel one with beautiful views around you.
7. Vintage Style Faucets

An easy and quick way to add some vintage charm to your cabin bathroom is by replacing some of your bathroom hardware!
No matter what type of sink or faucet you have, there are all kinds of antique-looking faucet heads you can purchase that have far more personality than anything builder grade.
I love anything copper or bronze like the one above for a cabin as it pairs so nicely with wooden paneling and natural textures.
8. Painted Plaster Log Walls

A great way to give your small cabin bathroom a little face lift is by painting (or adding) the plaster between logs.
This plaster can yellow over time and give your bathroom a dingy feel. Brightening it up with some white paint will not only make the room brighter, but also look more modern.
If your cabin doesn’t have any plaster or smear between logs, you could consider adding it to change up the look and provide more insulation.
9. Metallic Flea Market Finds

The nice thing about decorating small bathrooms is that a little bit of something goes a long way.
It can be tricky to know how to decorate cabin bathrooms because of the wooden walls, but a great place to start is with metallics.
Whether it’s with a bright and shiny candlestick holder or a small metal corner stool, adding a touch of something that shines will look great in contrast with the rustic feel of the wood.
10. Mix of Textures and Natural Materials

My favorite way to decorate any cabin or rustic space is by layering different natural textures and materials.
How stunning is this bathroom vanity combining wood, marble, and clay? I can’t get enough of how well the colors compliment each other.
Layering textures in this way creates a ton of depth to your design and brings visual interest to the forefront. Decorating this way allows you to keep things simple because the pieces will speak for themselves.
11. Spa-Like Candles

When people think of cabin bathroom ideas, I’m sure the words “luxury” or “spa” are not the first ones coming to mind.
Oftentimes cabins are decorated in a very rustic or primitive way, but this doesn’t have to be the case if that doesn’t match your style!
Embrace the idea of glamping with your cabin bathroom by adding spa-like touches with candles, sconces, and a teak bath tub tray.
12. Rustic Bathroom Vanities

One of my favorite ways to elevate bathroom decor is with a unique vanity table.
Bathroom vanities can be made from so many different types of furniture depending on your home decor style.
Look at different types of dressers, shelving, or even vintage work tables like the vanity above for some good inspiration. The more unique and interesting looking, the better!
13. Painted Bright Colors

Trust me, I know that it’s a cardinal interior design sin to paint natural wood. If there’s one place you can get away with it, though, it should be in the bathroom.
Bathrooms are so fun to decorate because their an opportunity to get a little whimsical. You can get away with bolder choices in smaller rooms.
The same way that adding a bright or loud wallpaper to bathroom walls is a great design choice, consider having a little fun with your cabin bathroom ideas and pick out a brightly colored paint!
14. Corrugated Barn Tin Shower Walls

Sometimes when a cabin is filled with nothing but wooden walls, the monotony can get a little boring. Or if not boring, at least challenging to design.
A great way to break up the looks of your walls is by switching out the wood for another rustic material like corrugated barn tin!
This unique look keeps the cozy primitive integrity of the design, but offers a fun alternative to classic cabin walls.
15. Copper Lined Clawfoot Tub

I’ve talked a few times about how great metallic pieces look paired with wood, but why stop at accessories when you have a tub to decorate!
Oftentimes, people neglect to add any interesting design to their tubs and just accept that what they were given is all they get.
Think outside the box for your cabin bathroom, though, and consider adding copper lining to the inside of your tub for a stunning focal point.
16. Coordinating Color Scheme

In my opinion, the best way to pull of bright colors in a cabin bathroom is by taking on the trendy monochromatic look.
Things can start to look messy pretty quickly if you try to layer multiple colors on top of wood.
Choosing one bright color to match your decor too, though, is a surefire way to pull off a coordinated color scheme.
17. Assorted Rustic Decor

If you’re looking at this post dedicated to cabin bathroom ideas, then I probably don’t need to sell you much on rustic home decor.
Sometimes some raw wood furniture and nature themed prints are truly the best decor option for a small space, though.
I love these matching antler prints and have been so inspired by the natural wood towel rack in the bathroom above that I immediately started shopping for one.
18. Quaint Country Linens

One of my favorite characteristics of country home bathrooms is the curtain to cover the sink feature.
It’s so cute and cozy, plus it’s a super cheap alternative to cabinetry. It allows easy access to any bathroom toiletries and it’s easy to swap out for a different pattern depending on the season.
Obviously I’m a huge fan of the green gingham in the photo, but any kind of plaid or floral pattern would look great for this design feature as well.
19. Stone Basin Sink

I think of all the small cabin bathroom ideas on this list, this incredible stone sink might be my favorite.
When you don’t have much room to work with for decor, you have to think outside the box and get creative with the features already available to you.
This natural stone sink is sure to stun any guests you’d have. It’s one of those decor choices that will make your home really stand out in people’s minds.
20. Wall-Mounted Faucets

While we’re talking about cool and unique sinks, we can’t go without mentioning the classic cabin wall mounted faucets.
If you’re plumbing allows for this feature, take it and run with it! This look is so vintage and cool that I just can’t get enough.
A wall-mounted faucet will give your cabin bathroom that back country feeling that makes cabins so charming and cozy in the first place.
