Mix Up Bathroom Decor
Buy from AmazonWhile most modern farmhouse bathrooms stick with neutral colors and simple textures, Joyner says she likes to mix and match décor elements when working with modern farmhouse.
“I love to push a farmhouse bathroom, since it’s usually simple in color, to make it a little bold with a modern color on the walls or a great wallpaper,” she says. “No one wants their house to look like their neighbor’s. Embrace the style, but make it yours.” Add a pop of fun tile or a bold vanity to bring it home.
Add Some Art

Bring Back Natural Wood

Go Wild With Texture
