Spring cleaning got me thinking – why not liven up my bathroom? I never thought it’d be a good spot for plants, but boy was I wrong!
Check out these 16 trendy bathroom plant ideas that totally changed my space.
1. Tall House Plants
Fishtail Palm
I never thought I’d have a palm tree in my bathroom, but the fishtail palm has become my favorite statement piece. It thrives in the humid environment and adds a tropical touch to my daily routine.
Placement near windows
Positioning these tall beauties near windows ensures they get the indirect light they crave. It’s like they’re reaching for the sky while I’m brushing my teeth!
2. Slanted Ladder Plant Display
Who knew an old ladder could become a chic plant stand? I’ve repurposed one to showcase multiple small plants, creating a charming display that adds visual interest with varying heights.
3. DIY Hanging Brass Planters
Remember those old metal bowls gathering dust in the attic? I’ve given them new life as unique hanging planters. It’s a fun weekend project that adds a personal touch to my bathroom decor.
4. Trailing House Plants
Pothos
My bathroom wouldn’t be complete without some trailing pothos. They cascade beautifully from high shelves, adding a lush, jungle-like feel to the space.
Other humidity-loving trailing plants
I’ve also experimented with other trailing plants that love the steamy bathroom environment. It’s like having my own little rainforest!
5. Big Foliage Plants
For those blessed with a windowed bathroom, big foliage plants are a game-changer. The humidity helps them grow into magnificent specimens that make a bold statement.
6. Colorful Indoor Plants
Bromeliads for window sills
I’ve brightened up my window sills with vibrant bromeliads. Their colorful blooms are a cheerful sight first thing in the morning.
7. Plant Mom’s Bathroom
As a self-proclaimed “plant mom,” I couldn’t resist filling my bathroom with an eclectic mix of greenery. Succulents, ferns, peace lilies, and fragrant indoor plants all coexist happily in this humid haven.
8. Hanging Baskets
I’ve embraced vertical gardening by hanging multiple baskets from the ceiling. It’s a great way to maximize space and create a lush, green canopy.
9. Carnivorous Plants
For a quirky touch, I’ve added some carnivorous plants to my bright, humid bathroom. They’re fascinating conversation starters and surprisingly easy to care for in this environment.
10. Bathroom Jungle
I’ve gone all out with my “bathroom jungle,” combining snake plants, pothos, philodendron, spider plants, and even orchids. It’s like stepping into a tropical oasis every time I take a shower!
11. Terrariums
For a modern twist, I’ve incorporated terrariums with succulents, air plants, and ferns. They’re like miniature worlds that add a touch of whimsy to my bathroom decor.
12. Palm Plants
Palms love humid environments, making them perfect bathroom companions. I’ve found they thrive with minimal care, just needing occasional watering when the soil feels dry.
13. Tropical Foliage Plants
Rubber plants and Monstera deliciosa
These tropical beauties have transformed my bathroom into an exotic retreat. Their large, glossy leaves make a dramatic impact in the space.
14. Colorful Accent Plants
Anthurium plants
I’ve added pops of color with anthurium plants. Their heart-shaped flowers bring a touch of romance to the room.
Apoia as an alternative
For variety, I’ve also included some apoia plants. They’re less common but equally stunning.
Succulents for south or west-facing windows
In my south-facing bathroom window, I’ve created a lovely succulent display. They soak up the sunlight and add a desert-chic vibe.
15. Moss Walls
I’ve always dreamed of having a green wall, but maintaining a living wall seemed daunting. Instead, I opted for a preserved moss installation, incorporating air plants and succulents for added interest.
16. Bathroom Ladder with Cascading Plants
My repurposed bathroom ladder serves double duty – it holds my accessories and showcases cascading plants. It’s a practical and beautiful addition to my plant-filled oasis.
