Today we will give you some tricks to incorporate plants into the bathroom decoration and create a unique place, which invites self-care and relaxation.
Choose the best plants to decorate
the bathroom- Look for plants that prefer the high humidity conditions of the bathroom. Ferns are a typical species to have in this space, in addition to pothos which are another ideal species to decorate the bathroom.

- According to Feng Shui, a lot of positive energy, especially that related to prosperity, literally goes down the toilet. To avoid this, you should always keep the lid down and you can balance the loss by placing a pilea, which is known for its properties to attract good luck and fortune.
- Bathrooms are usually more or less enclosed spaces, with little natural light. Think about this when you're choosing a plant. Choose species that prefer to live in the shade and place them near mirrors to magnify the light they receive. You can buy a sansevieria or a zamioculca, as both require low light, and they will also help you purify the air.
- Do you want flowers? Consider getting a prayer flower, as prayer flower is much easier to maintain than most flowering plants.
Tips for decorating the bathroom with plants
- Consider the size of the place. If your bathroom is small, avoid putting a giant plant and if it is too large, because having a plant that is too small will lose its effect. You can look for small plants for the countertop or shelf and, if you have the space, put larger ones on the floor.
- Play with height and spaces. The simplest options include placing a small, short plant in front of the mirror, for example an African violet, and a Brazilian trunk in a pot in the ground; You could also take it a step further with hanging plants in corners and high ceilings.
- Use shelves. Shelving and shelves are perfect places to install plants. A pothos hanging from a shelf is a lovely touch. Vines and other small plants that grow with a bit of droop lend fluidity to the space.
- Hanging plants. Hang Boston ferns and other plants that fall at different heights. You can use the shower curtain rod, if you have one, or use a hook on the ceiling. You could also take advantage of shelves and others to place floating pots.
- Don't be afraid to overdo it a little. If you want to give a slightly more boho-natural vibe to your bathroom, you can fill it with a large plant that becomes the protagonist of the space. A rib of Adam, for example, would be magnificent; even a fiddle-leaf fig tree. Allow one corner to transform into a small jungle, the trick is to leave other corners without plants. These visual "silences" will balance out the excess.
