The so-called “biophilic” design is currently trending and it’s a big new thing for bathrooms.
Houseplants add a touch of liveliness to your surroundings and they also bring some much-needed balance to the space if arranged right.
More practical benefits of houseplants include improved quality of air and reduced stress levels. Maintaining plants can also be beneficial for mental health.
On the other hand, the ever-present humidity in the bathroom makes for the perfect atmosphere for many plants.
1. Match Your Wallpaper
To create a dream-like atmosphere in your bathroom, combine realistic nature-themed wallpaper with genuine houseplants.
Every shower will feel like a healing experience and you’ll have yourself a truly unique bathroom.
2. Botanical Backdrop
Plant walls are all the rage for public and residential spaces alike. Odds are you’ve visited a bar or a restaurant with this design.
It creates an atmosphere of therapeutic peace and luxury in one.
3. Colorful Plant Wall
If your bathroom could use a little saturation, create a colorful plant wall.
Making the wall a backdrop of your bath may be the optimal way to go about it, as it’s the most beautiful and the plants may effortlessly thrive in the humidity.
4. Upscale Your Shabby Chic Space
Shabby chic is defined by its romantic and vintage-country appeal.
Houseplants fit right in there, especially if you carefully match your pots to the overall design.
5. The Organic Modern Must-Have
When creating your organic modern bathroom, why stop at wood and stone as your organic elements?
Incorporate plants to truly bring the design to life.
6. Complementary Colors
Houseplants tend to come in various shades of green, and while sometimes they can be a great source of contrast, it’s also nice to combine complementary elements to achieve harmony.
Design your bathroom in shades of olive, peach, and similar hues to turn it into an ultimate relaxing spot.
7. Small Highlights
Having a small bathroom is no reason to give up on houseplants.
Various types of tiny and climber plants will add ample charm to your bathroom shelf.
8. Soften Up the Modern Design
Being made up of mostly modern utilities, bathrooms run the risk of looking too modern, especially if you’re not able to invest in custom and vintage pieces.
A great way to add some much-needed gentleness to a modern bathroom is to enrich it with houseplants.
9. Promote the Exotic Vibe
Some houseplants come with dark green, sleek leaves that fit perfectly into minimalist and modern spaces. Others possess the kind of texture that is ideal for more old-fashioned interiors.
If you’re looking to promote the ethnic vibe in your bathroom, choose a textured, blooming houseplant and place it in the simple clay pot.
You’d have just added Mediterranean charm to your space.
10. Achieve Symmetry
Use various types of houseplant placement to promote the symmetry of your bathroom space.
11. Behind the Glass
To create an exotic feel while still preserving the modernity of your bathroom, put your indoor plants behind glass.
This may also serve to promote the luxury appeal in the space.
12. Country Appeal
Accumulate plants in dainty pots all over your bathroom to support the country vibes.
13. Minimal Accent
If you have a taste for subtlety, a simple hanging plant in the corner is the perfect addition to your bathroom.
14. The Classic
A large houseplant in an elegant white pot is an undefeated classic.
Bring it into your own bathroom to promote its timeless elegance.
15. Bathroom Partition
A plant half-wall can be an ideal divider in your bathroom.
Separating the shower from the sink can make your bathroom appear that much more put together, and plants are quite a unique way to go about it.
16. Stylistic Pots
Thankfully, there is an endless choice of flower pots out there in the market.
Make sure you match them to a tee with the overall vibes of your bathroom for a truly stylish end result.
17. Organic Curtain
It’s the classical case of getting two birds with one stone.
Plants hanging by your bathroom window will provide you with some privacy and decoration, all the while, there’s ample sunlight to make sure they keep thriving.
18. Decorate the Wall Ledge
Many bathrooms contain a wall ledge, which more often than not ends up cluttered with shampoo bottles galore.
Why not use it instead to decorate your bathroom and improve the quality of the air?
Which plants thrive in bathrooms?
Some plants need more frequent watering, while others don’t. I’d know – I’d killed a houseplant not once, thinking I was being so attentive to water it every other day.
Likewise, some plants thrive in humid conditions, which just so happen to be present in the bathroom.
So which house plants should you choose to have in your self-care space?
Peace Lily, for instance, thrives in indirect sunlight, hence it would flourish in a bathroom with a tiny window. Aloe Vera loves moisture as do Orchid and Calathea.
Spider plant also requires little care and sunlight, and thrives in bathrooms.
Which one would you choose?
