Since a bathroom is usually a dark and damp room, you wouldn’t usually think of adding a plant to it. Yet certain plants – like the Anthurium – actually like these conditions. These plants prefer high humidity, so they’ll feel right at home in a bathroom.

Houseplants make any room look more inviting, they create a sense of serenity, they purify the air, and they add oxygen to an indoor environment. And in the bathroom, having all those plants around makes you forget any worry you might have. It’s like having your own spa at home. To get you inspired, we scoured Instagram to find the most gorgeous urban jungle bathrooms.

Tie a couple of eucalyptus branches to the shower head – you’ll think you’re in a spa every time you shower. The scent is very relaxing and makes the bathroom always smell nice and clean.

If you have enough room, replace other decorations in your bathroom with lots of plants. What a relaxing effect!

I know I’ve said it a lot of times, but I still think the best thing we did in this space was add in the skylights. I think my fiddle would agree. 🌱
