3. Storage Over The Toilet
Experiment with this easy extra storage idea! It is perfect for storing and drying towels. The wooden ladder doesn’t take up any of the floor space and brings in more dimension compared to the traditional shelf.

4. Bathroom Organization With Mason Jars
A set of different Mason jars is given farmhouse charm with white chalk paint and distressing at different areas.
Probably you have never thought that they can be helpful with the storage in all rooms, not only the kitchen. The taller ones can store toothbrushes and liquid soap. The shorter ones are great for cotton buds, cleaning pads and smaller items.
White is a color that matches every interior but if you want to make a specific accent, you can use the jars to set a bolder statement with them.
5. “FLUSH” The Industrial Way
This is a unique sign that will make the bathroom more interesting and fun. The DIY Industrial Farmhouse Bathroom Sign is easy to make with a wooden plaque and metal letters from the craft store.

The blank wall above the toilet is great for the storage of bathroom essentials. To give the storage unit also the function to make that space more appealing, use a unique piece that will add character.

7. A Mirror To Match The Bathroom Tiles
The plain mirror is the best mirror! Because it is a blank canvas to experiment with. You can trace the edges with a rope if you are looking for a nautical touch. You can place it into a wooden frame if your bathroom is lacking a farmhouse charm or you can create a frame with tiles that match the bathroom tiles.
With this simple idea, you can make the bathroom an appealing and coherent part of the bathroom.
8. Mug Rack For Storage And Decorations
This rack is not that practical when it comes to providing storage space but it is surely one of the most charming ones.
To make this you need three metal mugs and a piece of reclaimed wood. Positioning of the mugs is important. Screwing two of them horizontally lets the handles be also utilized. The top one is screwed vertically to be used for holding natural decoration.

9. Functional Rustic Shelf Idea
This is an adorable shelf idea. The look of the reclaimed wood and the visible functionality of the piece make it a unique piece of furniture that will take only a little part of the wall next to the toilet.
Not much embellishment is needed for this shelf. Only a couple of rusty hinges or vintage door knobs will cohere with the aged look of the wood.
10. Floating Shelves To Expand The Storage Space
These floating shelves create an expensive look in the contemporary bathroom with very little investment.
The combination of hardware parts and stained wood creates a unique design that will make all of your guests wonder where you get the shelves from.
Another great advantage this storage unit offers is that it can be made to fit the size of an empty part of the wall in order to maximize the storage space without overwhelming the overall décor.
11. Farmhouse Style Waste Bin
This is an easy way to upgrade the look of the most inexpensive plastic waste bins. Weave jute rope around the outer surface of the bin fixing the thread with hot glue.
The finished item makes a wonderful nautical statement that can be enhanced with additional coastal-inspired decorations. That can be a mirror whose rim is traced with rope; a tray holding candles and a jar with seashells, a small round jute rug in front of the toilet, etc.

12. A Trash-To-Treasure Farmhouse Towel Rack
The bathroom is not a big room so when choosing decorations, you should be aiming at one or two bolder items, otherwise, the space will look too overwhelming and closed.
This DIY idea aims to create one focal point which offers also functionality. An old window is upgraded by adding a wrought iron hook to the bottom part of the frame.
No need to repair the surface or apply a new thick coat of paint. The weather the paint is, the bolder statement the window rack will make.

The new frame totally transforms the old mirror and makes an elegant relation to the faucet.
19. A Nautical Rug From Upcycled Materials
Make your own design of a bathroom rug to give the space a coastal flair. The material used is braided polypropylene rope in a two-color pattern. The coils of the rope are kept tightly together with duct tape placed on the underside of the rug.
It is recommended that you place a non-slip pad underneath which will prevent the rug from sliding.

The tub caddy can be the piece adding a charming rustic vibe to your bathroom. The darker the stain of the wood is, the better contrast the caddy will make with the existing décor.

30. Unique Rustic Lanterns With Mason Jars

The lanterns will make the bathroom décor more welcoming and inviting.

31. Helpful Tissue Holder From A Mason Jar
Tissues are an important part of the bathroom essentials, especially when you have kids. Usually, we place them on the counter in their original cardstock package. Well, paper packages are not that stylish, aren’t they?
Transferring the tissues into three identical in size Mason jars is far more pleasant for the eye solution. IF you are looking for a rustic piece of décor, use the set of canning jars to include it in the décor. Some paint and distressing will give the jars a lovely weathered look.
