The bathroom is one place in your home where you can unwind and relax. Choose the Tuscan style to create that feeling in your bathroom sanctuary.
  
  

Colors and Paint

• The colors for a Tuscan bathroom decor are warm and rustic. Use colors such as gold, terracotta, olive green and ocean blue to create the Tuscan atmosphere in the bathroom. The colors for a bathroom come straight from the Tuscan landscape. Use a light gold color for the walls, and accent with deep Mediterranean blue.
  
  The colors you choose can create a Tuscan atmosphere in the bathroom, but adding texture to the walls can also add to the appearance of the room. Create a stucco treatment with the walls to give the impression of aged stone walls. To give the cabinets and vanity an aged appearance, use a distressing technique to make a newer piece look old.
  
  

Floors and Tile

• Choose marble or stone floors for a Tuscan bathroom. Marble and stone are quite expensive for a large floor. Ceramic tile can look similar to stone or marble flooring but costs much less. A terracotta shade works well for the floor in your Tuscan bathroom. Use the rustic tiles for the shower as well. Tile a walk-in shower with terracotta tiles, and enclose the space with glass doors for smaller bathrooms.
  
  

Accessories

• Wrought iron accessories and distressed cabinets add to the Mediterranean appearance of the room. Create wall art with a few marble tiles if your budget is limited. Vanities and furnishings have classic straight lines. Use metal urns, terracotta planters and glass jars to accent the Tuscan bathroom. Bronze switch plates and wrought iron wall sconces add to the romantic Italian look. Choose copper fixtures for the sink and bathtub for a rustic Mediterranean look.
