Ready to redecorate your bathroom in an authentic cabin decor theme? Think rustic decor, wildlife art and accents, or any western accessories (horse and cowboy).

You can begin with the walls using log cabin inspired wallpaper (some of which are very realistic), a rustic cabin border, or be so adventurous as to create an antiqued plaster finish wall right on top of existing drywall. Don’t forget your ceiling - faux, antiqued tin wallpaper fits right in with cabin decor as does wood paneling (paint it to match other decor elements in the finished room).

As for accessories, choose cabin decor accessories such as toilet brush caddies, toilet paper dispensers and matching sets of tumbler, toothbrush holder and soap dispenser. In recent years hundreds of cabin decor sets have hit the market for you to choose from. Smaller items to consider would be your shower curtain, towels and towel racks, robe hooks, bathmats, tissue holders, and a soap dish or pump dispenser.

Bathroom caddies are a nice addition to the bathroom and not only complete the look or theme of your room, but hides the toilet brush decoratively. Toilet brush caddies might match your bath set or simply compliment it with wood look trim, metal embellishments, or painted designs. Matching or co-ordinating sets can be found available for sale on many cabin decor websites that cater specifically to bathroom redesign.

You might also like to consider cabin inspired shelves, vanities, mirrors, and cabinets.

In the past, before cabin decor became a decorating style and was simply a way of life shelves and baskets were used to organize bathroom items. Given the wide selection and styles of baskets on the market today, you’re sure to find something that is both affordable and beautiful that will also fit right into a cabin inspired bathroom.

To save money, consider some of your older baskets you may have in other rooms of your home or tucked away in the closet. These vintage or tired baskets and containers are easily updated to compliment cabin decor. A quick coat of paint or wood stain and fabric liners may be all you need to update your existing baskets. If any of the weaving is missing or frayed, consider weaving in some grapevine, birch bark, or even ribbon through those areas. After all, making do and saving money was a large part of life in the days of the cabin.

Baskets are nice to use because they are easy to clean, just wash them with warm soapy water and let dry. The moisture in the bathroom is good for them it helps keep them from drying out.

The same theory applies to shelving. You may need to re-paint the shelves, add a faux finish or use your crafting skills to incorporate the shelves into your cabin decor. A designer tip for adding shelves to a rustic bath is to sand the corners and rub in some wood stain to give your shelves an aged and worn look.

In fact, moving back to the baskets, wicker and straw baskets look great on antiqued wooden shelves and may be all you need to store your toiletries, personal grooming items and cleansers. Since baskets come in many different sizes you may need to move them around on the shelves to get a pleasing to the eye balance.
