We love a farmhouse bath that stays honest and simple, and we wanted to show how much care fits into simple. Morning light comes in over the tub and slides across glossy white subway tile, while black hex underfoot keeps the room grounded. A white Shaker vanity, a barn sconce and thin lines of matte black give it a farmhouse calm that never feels fussy. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.
