Your best bet is to speak to the experts at your local nursery or gardening centre. They\u2019ll know exactly what to recommend and they\u2019ll have the healthiest specimens for you to buy.<\/p>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s dive into our top tips for a gorgeous green bathroom!<\/p>\n<h2>1. Embrace trailing plants<\/h2>\n<p>Trailing plants are so popular in bathrooms thanks to how they combine function and aesthetic impact. They look beautiful cascading gently over the edges of hanging baskets. And their form provides texture and softens up any hard edges of your bathroom.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31211\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31211\" style=\"width: 579px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31211\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24053001\/bathroom-plants-shelves.jpg\" alt=\"bathroom-plants-on-shelf\" width=\"579\" height=\"869\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31211\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/yzPWspWSDm0?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\">Photo by Jessica Arends on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>2. Have a feature plant<\/h2>\n<p>Enhance your bathroom by using materials inspired by nature (like timber stools) and adding a feature plant. Pick a strongly architectural plant such as the Rubber Leaf Plant. Its glossy, dark green foliage is perfect for contrasting with bathroom whites.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Choose dramatic single plants<\/h2>\n<p>We all love the Fiddle Leaf Fig but consider it as an alternative to the Monstera plant. It makes just as much impact but is a little less common than the good old Fiddle Leaf Fig. Look out for the rarer Variegated Monstera too. Its white and green foliage provides even more interest.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Add a touch of life<\/h2>\n<p>Every bathroom should really have something organic in it\u2014even just a tiny little burst. Here, a gorgeous modern bathroom with some serious tiling going on gets an injection of greenery in the form of a tiny cascading plant.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31212\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31212\" style=\"width: 451px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31212\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24053000\/bathroom-plants-ledge.jpg\" alt=\"bathroom-plants-ledge\" width=\"451\" height=\"677\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31212\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/RfXkG1qm1RI?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\">Photo by R ARCHITECTURE on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Love tiles?

Liven up a plain colour scheme<\/h2>\n<p>Although I love an all-white bathroom, it can lapse into looking clinical if you\u2019re not careful. But plants automatically bring colour in and avoid that overly hospital-white feeling.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Use plants as visual tricks<\/h2>\n<p>Diverting attention from the \u2018uglier\u2019 aspects of your bathroom is a job that bathroom plants do exceptionally well. The eye is immediately drawn to the plants hanging above a toilet and away from the cistern itself.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Create some bathtime zen<\/h2>\n<p>Add hanging plants from the ceiling to resemble organic chandeliers. Bushy plants like Spider plants and ferns always make a striking contrast to white bathroom tile.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Enjoy air purification from succulents<\/h2>\n<p>Add some succulents and cacti to your green bathroom mix and take advantage of their superior air-purifying abilities. They\u2019re typically easy to care for and love bright light, so place them on your windowsill.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31213\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31213\" style=\"width: 443px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31213\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24053000\/bathroom-plants-succulents.jpg\" alt=\"bathroom-plants-succulents\" width=\"443\" height=\"639\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31213\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/0DFk--9cWO4?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\">Photo by AM FL on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>9. Fill up a neglected space<\/h2>\n<p>Do you have any \u201cdead space\u201d or unused floor space that doesn\u2019t seem to fit anything? Fill it with an oversized floor plant such as a rampant fern, and now you have an instant focal point.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31214\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31214\" style=\"width: 753px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31214\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24053000\/bathroom-plants-lots.jpg\" alt=\"bathroom-plants-lots\" width=\"753\" height=\"502\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31214\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/NwBx723XaHw?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\">Photo by Prudence Earl on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>10. Hang baskets from the ceiling<\/h2>\n<p>Rather than use up valuable floor space, use the ceiling to hang baskets of plants, whether upright kinds or trailing plants.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31215\" style=\"width: 556px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31215\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24052959\/bathroom-plants-hang-from-ceiling.jpg\" alt=\"bathroom-plants-hang-from-ceiling\" width=\"556\" height=\"834\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/ONKFhJGLv9k?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\">Photo by Ang\u00e8le Kamp on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>11. Use your corners<\/h2>\n<p>The corners of your bathtub are ideal for placing little potted plants. Make sure you choose a plant that doesn\u2019t mind low light if your tub corner isn\u2019t in a well-lit position. Your tub plant should also love humidity and water as it will get the odd spray. Plants like Pothos or Sansevieria (snakeplants) work especially well. And, bonus, they\u2019re great beginner indoor plants.<\/p>\n<h2>12. Take advantage of sunny windows<\/h2>\n<p>Most plants prefer bright indirect to direct light, so your choices are greater when your space has access to sunlight. If you have a windowsill that\u2019s flooded with sunlight, line up a bunch of sun-loving indoor plants on it. Sansevieria (snakeplants) and Chinese Money trees will reward you by thriving here.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31216\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31216\" style=\"width: 443px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31216\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24052959\/bathroom-plants-windowsill-1.jpg\" alt=\"bathroom-plants-windowsill\" width=\"443\" height=\"627\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31216\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/HoBsuuTh3zI?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\">Photo by Luther.M.E. Bottrill on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>13. Make use of mirrors<\/h2>\n<p>When placing your bathroom plants, take advantage of how a bathroom mirror\u2019s reflection can double up the amount of greenery you see. Here, a tall, slim Variegated Schefflera (umbrella) plant is the perfect shape for a narrow bathroom.<\/p>\n<h2>14. Gather them in baskets<\/h2>\n<p>Planters in natural, organic materials, such as cane baskets, look gorgeous with bathroom plants. Place a plastic tray under your plant\u2019s container in the bottom of your basket, so you won\u2019t have to remove the plant to water it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>15. Invite plants into your shower<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The stark lines of this modern bathroom are tempered by the soft, rounded shapes created by these in-shower plants. The result is a more serene space for you to shower. Having plants in the shower area improves the air quality, helps get rid of bacteria and absorbs excess moisture in the air.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31217\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31217\" style=\"width: 598px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31217\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24052959\/bathroom-plants-shower.jpg\" alt=\"bathroom-plants-shower\" width=\"598\" height=\"897\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/ycEKahEaO5U?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\">Photo by Curology on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>16. Go with a botanical theme<\/h2>\n<p>If you love the look of plants in the bathroom, you might like to continue the fresh theme with a botanical or floral print shower curtain.<\/p>\n<h2>17. Have a plant wall shelf<\/h2>\n<p>You can also create a simple plant wall by filling open shelving, which is great if you lack floor space. This white shelving looks stunning thanks to the use of white planter pots. They create unity despite the wide variety of plants incorporated.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31218\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31218\" style=\"width: 1251px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31218\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24052958\/bathroom-plants-wall-shelf.jpg\" alt=\"bathroom-plants-wall-shelf\" width=\"1251\" height=\"834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24052958\/bathroom-plants-wall-shelf.jpg 1251w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24052958\/bathroom-plants-wall-shelf-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24052958\/bathroom-plants-wall-shelf-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31218\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/0P1lZOfI2CQ?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\">Photo by Brina Blum on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>18.

It completely changes the vibe and provides that all-important connection to nature.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31224\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31224\" style=\"width: 451px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31224\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24052956\/bathroom-plants-single-plant.jpg\" alt=\"bathroom-plants-single-plant\" width=\"451\" height=\"681\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31224\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/29IpcQdFwI4?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\">Photo by Chastity Cortijo on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>27. Create a living plant wall<\/h2>\n<p>You can create wall art from plants by constructing a plant wall. These can be a bit high maintenance but are worth it for the effect. Just make sure to choose plants that stay green all year long!<\/p>\n<h2>28. Keep function in mind<\/h2>\n<p>Your bathroom serves many practical purposes, and you should keep this in mind when planning your plants. You need to be able to carry out self-care tasks without a plant interfering, no matter how good it looks. This means you may prefer to limit your greenery to something unobtrusive.<\/p>\n<h2>29. Think outside the box<\/h2>\n<p>If you are keen on a lush plant feature but don\u2019t have a lot of room, consider alternatives to shelving or corners of the bathtub. Instead display your plants in a fun, unusual way, such as a DIY hanging shelf constructed from a ladder hung by ropes. Not only does it make a great plant display, but it will give you something pleasing to look at while you\u2019re soaking.<\/p>\n<h2>30. Arrange plant cuttings in vases<\/h2>\n<p>Last but not least, an alternative to keeping potted plants in the bathroom is to pop oversized leaf cuttings into vases where they\u2019ll create drama and texture.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31225\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31225\" style=\"width: 451px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31225\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/24052956\/bathroom-plants-single-branch.jpg\" alt=\"bathroom-plants-single-branch\" width=\"451\" height=\"677\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/mwINQsW2KJs?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditShareLink\">Photo by Alex Loup on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A tip from interior gardening designers is to snip a little eucalyptus and place it in a vase.
