Bathroom Accessories – Consider Birch Bark

A home in the forest, a log home, or a summer cabin all lend themselves to decorating with natural touches. Whether it is wood or just looks like wood, natural touches make a decorating statement.

Birch bark bathroom accessories are one such statement. Birch bark bathroom accessories add a natural touch with a lighter coloring. Rustic, and looking as though you could peel them, these accessories bring a wilderness look to the bathroom.

Birch bark bathroom accessories may not be easy to find in your local discount store, but with a little Internet research, you can find a number of pieces.

Here is a sampling of the bathroom accessories we found with a brief search.

1. Shelves: Resin birch bark log shelves blend with rustic surroundings. These small shelves are inexpensive, and will hold folded towels, soap, flowers, or other miscellaneous decorations. The resin looks so natural that it could be mistaken for real birch bark.

2. Candles: Resin birch bark tea light holders are also good bathroom accessories. Group them for a decorator’s touch, whether your bathroom walls are brick, log, or natural grasscloth. You can also find pillar candles wrapped in genuine birch bark. Birch candles bring natural warmth into your bathroom.

3. Wastebaskets: Birch bark wastebaskets are another way to introduce this wood into your bathroom. These bathroom accessories will usually be made of real wood, not resin.

4. Tissue Box Covers: These covers are too pretty to pass. Oblong or square, birch tissue box covers are must-have birch bark bathroom accessories.

5. Soap Holder: A leather-laced birch bark canoe can hold extra guest soap in your bathroom. Set it on a shelf, or off to one side, so the children will not put wet soap in it.

6. Mirror: Birch bark bathroom accessories are not all small. A large mirror framed in birch bark is another way to bring the wood’s warmth into a rustic bathroom.

7. Holder: What else do you call such a useful item? This birch bark holder will hold magazines, fluffy towels, or children’s bath toys.

8. Switch plate Cover: Birch bark bathroom accessories even include switch plate covers, we learned.

Any theme can be overdone, so choose carefully and your birch bark will look natural. You might complement it with forest green towels, throw rugs, and shower curtains. The dark green will bring out the silver sheen of your birch bark bathroom accessories.
