We fill our bedrooms and living rooms with plants, so why not bring some leafy accessories into your bathroom? Not only will plants in the bathroom add a little style to your space, but they can also help purify the air and help relieve stress and anxiety. Before you decide which type of plant works best in your bathroom, assess the available light and average temperature.
This bathroom from kunis_lovely_vintage_home is not for the timid plant parent. If you're looking to add loads of personality and transform your bathroom without a full renovation, filling every nook and cranny with plants can be a great way to update your space.
But adding greenery to your bathroom doesn't have to mean huge, leafy plants (it most certainly can though!). Here are 16 more amazing greenery-filled bathrooms.
