The Best Plants for Your Bathroom

Every room in the house deserves some life in the form of a houseplant. Adding a little green to the space is a great way to bring it to life, but unfortunately not all plants work as well in the bathroom as others do. At The Bathroom Workshop we believe in adding plants to bathrooms and wet rooms to help really bring these spaces to life. Choosing one of these great plants is a wonderful way to add life and greenery to the space so that it looks great and feels natural.

Spider Plant

A gorgeous spider plant is a welcome addition to any bathroom. Not only are they incredibly attractive, thanks to their long leaves and striations, but they are hard to kill. They don’t need a lot of direct sunlight and provide clean air for the whole family.

Air Plant

Air plants are one of the lowest-maintenance plants that homeowners can buy. They love the humidity in a bathroom and do well without regular watering. Because they are so exotic and unique, they are a welcome addition to add to any bathroom that is looking a bit boring.

Bamboo

Most people think that bamboo will only grow outside, but it looks great in a bathroom. It needs very little light to have exceptional growth. Because it grows so quickly, it’s a great option for filling in a lot of space, although regular trimming is important.

Fern

Ferns are incredibly lush and look at home in any room of the house, but especially the bathroom. Not only are they affordable, but they also last for a long time. They love rooms with high humidity, and the bathroom is the perfect location for them.

English Ivy

This resilient plant is one of the best choices for homeowners who don’t have much of a green thumb. Its trailing growth pattern makes it very elegant and perfect for hanging in a window. With between four to six hours of direct sunlight, it is sure to look its best.

Aloe Vera

While it’s really popular to keep Aloe Vera in the kitchen to help counter any burns, it’s also a good idea to have it on hand in the bathroom. Any burns from a curling iron can easily be soothed with a broken piece of this plant. It loves natural light, so it will thrive on a windowsill.

Peace Lily

There aren’t many plants that are at home in a bathroom and that will also bloom, but the Peace Lily is one of them. The elegant flowers will make any bathroom feel more like a spa. This plant needs more care and requires daily misting to look its best, but regular showering will provide it with the humidity that it needs.

Snake Plant

Long and gorgeous, the leaves of the snake plant are twisted, pointed, and structurally interesting. They are perfect for use in low light, making them a great option for most any bathroom. In addition, they are known for their air purification powers.

Orchid

There are few flowers more gorgeous and relaxing than an orchid. The downside to this great plant is that it requires regular care. Putting the plant in direct sun will result in it needing daily watering, but will help it experience great growth.

Our team at The Bathroom Workshop knows the importance of a bathroom that is not only functional, but gorgeous. That’s why our shower-room designers will work with you to provide you with a space that is beautiful and fits the needs of your family.
