Paint the walls green. Any color green will work, but a darker green can give your bathroom a warmer, cozier appearance. Paint a light brown wash over the green to add an earthy wood tone to the green, and then add some texture to the wall with a sponge by applying a different shade of green, or even brown, sponge patterns to the wall.

Hang small photographs or art prints that depict rustic-themed scenes on the wall. The images can range from farm and country scenes to a lone outhouse. Hand-painted signs made of natural wood are also ideal for a bathroom with a rustic theme. Choose frames for your photographs and art prints made of natural wood or painted in a lighter shade of green than your walls. Wooden shelves for figurines with a country theme are ideal for the rustic approach as well.

Add accents to your bathroom to enhance the rustic theme. Use items that offer functionality and aesthetic appeal. A small wood table with a potted plant, ceramic or clay soap and toothbrush holders, a wooden towel rack with various shades of green towels and wash clothes to match your walls, and hand-carved wooden figures are elements you can add. Handmade and earthy decorative elements are ideal for finishing a rustic theme. Add candles in wooden holders and soft lighting to help set the scene.
