Why? Because the bathroom ought not only be a place to refresh one's body, but mind and soul included, and French country is the perfect style to create a haven in order to soothe one's soul and troubled mind.

The nostalgic mood of a French country bathroom can help to create this haven - taking one back in time to a place where the slow pace of life was… simple, predictable, uncomplicated and safe.
Influenced by nature and colors from the surrounding countryside, and based on traditional craftsmanship, the key elements of French country are harmony, scale and balance - just what we need.
Natural materials from the earth like stone, iron, wood and clay, with textiles from natural fibers like cotton and linen, are fashioned into items for every day use.
The bathroom could either be manor style - when life was idly enjoyed to the fullest, and luxury and pampering was part of the daily routine. Or it could be farmhouse style - down to earth, unfussy and minimal.
Either way, the mood of manor or farmhouse style will take one back in time to capture the spirit of a lifestyle that was just… plain simple and uncomplicated.
