Enhance Your Bathroom with Some Plants
We put flowers, plants and herbs in our kitchens, living rooms and dining rooms, even in the bedroom so, when you think about it, there is no reason to not include our bathroom in this list too. In fact there are many plants that need humidity and that do well in this space, that the other rooms in the home.
Before you pick the best plants, consider the environment the bathroom offers. Some plants need lots of space, some need high humidity levels, while some do well in spaces with low light. The spider plant, the snake plant, the orchid, the bamboo and the alow are some of the best plants for low light bathrooms.
Another think to take into consideration is where you will place the plants I’ve mentioned. The countertop is ideal for small plants, while the corner of the bathroom is perfect for tall ones. You can also think to place them on the windowsill, by the tub or on a shelf. Or you can even think about hanging them from the ceiling or on the wall. There are many options so now all you have to do is to pick plants and green your bathroom.
