16. Shabby Chic Distressed Wooden Crate
Capture the cozy, romantic essence of cottagecore design with a distressed wooden crate repurposed as a bathroom trash can. Featuring chipped paint, visible wood grain, and perhaps a faded vintage stencil, this option adds instant warmth, history, and charm to a family bathroom or guest washroom.
To make this rustic option practical, simply place a plastic bucket or a thick liner inside the crate to protect the wood from damp trash. It looks incredibly charming when styled alongside waffle-weave towels, clawfoot tubs, and fresh wildflowers. It is a wonderful way to recycle vintage finds and give your bathroom a relaxed, lived-in personality.
