Bohemian aesthetic

This design is characterized by a lot of natural light and plants.

Achieve this look by keeping your bathroom open plan and using beige colors on your walls and floor, then hang a lot of trailing plants on your windows.

Place even more potted plants on the floor and add some more trailing plants on your wooden ceiling.

Minimalist touch

For all the minimalists who want some greenery in their bathroom, this is for you.

Simply run a vine across the roof at your preferred angles and place some green and white flowers on the bathtub tray.

These are enough to make your bathroom elegant and fresh.

Reserve a corner for plants

Arrange your potted plants and flowers in one corner of the bathroom, and hang vines on the towel racks.

Install another plant on the bathroom window sill and place a large plant next to the window on the floor.

This will create a blooming bathroom without overcrowding it with greenery.

Over the tub

Reserve your alcove bathtub area exclusively for plants.

Hang a vine plant from the ceiling and place potted plants on the bathroom window, floating shelves, and a larger one on the floor by the tub.

Allow the hanging vine to grow in any direction you prefer.

One large plant

If you love plants but prefer a minimalist bathroom, consider placing a single large plant in a corner next to your bathroom window.

This simple addition will effortlessly give you a blooming bathroom without overwhelming the space. 

Big plants

If you prefer large plants in your bathroom, it’s important to be strategic so they don’t overpower the space.

Position them on the floor where there’s ample open space, and consider elevating shorter flowers to add variety.

The elegance and freshness they bring will transform your bathroom. 

Tub surround

For a blissful and fresh feeling while bathing, this idea is perfect for you.

Simply place your potted plants on the floor around your bathtub, keeping them out of the way to maintain a tranquil atmosphere.

Floating plants

This beautiful idea works especially well if you want plants to hover over a specific area of the bathroom, such as above a bathtub.

Install a rectangular chrome pipe on the ceiling to suspend the plants from.

Then, place some potted plants on the window for the finishing touches.

Vines only

For vine lovers, I have a great idea for you.

Suspend your potted vines on the walls surrounding your alcove tub and also on your window.

They will effortlessly spread around, giving your bathroom a fresh and cozy feel.

Green meets yellow

If you love bright colors and lots of light in your bathroom, this is for you.

Paint your bathroom a bright shade of yellow, install yellow tiles on the floor, and place a trailing plant near your large window.

Add a big potted plant on the floor by your tub.

Install a large mirror to enhance the light and color in your bathroom.

Concentrate on the window

This works best if you want flowers in your bathroom but you also don’t want them on all the surfaces.

Hang trailing plants on top of the window and place some potted plants on the window trim.

You can also place a big plant on the corner of the bathroom and a smaller one on your bathtub tray.

Organized meets bloom

If you have a very aesthetic bathroom that you like to keep organized, you should try this idea.

Place a few plants strategically, such as on the windowsill, on a shelf, and suspend a trailing plant from a cabinet.

Finish it off by placing a vase with palms beside your tub to give your bathroom the ultimate bloom and organized feel.

Shower plants

For a bathroom with a big window this idea is ideal.

Hang your plants in the shower cubicle and place one on the counter top near the window.

This makes your bathroom bloom effortlessly.

Over the sink

This beautiful and serene bathroom achieves its charm with hanging plants placed along the natural light streaming through the window.

The window is further enhanced with a floating shelf, ideal for displaying small potted plants that add character.

Feel free to add more plants on the countertops as well. 

Pair a big window and trailing plants

The big window, which makes the biggest statement in this bathroom, is complemented by trailing plants placed on the wall and around the bathtub.

This gives the bathroom an airy and fresh feel, enhancing its blooming ambiance.

Two windows and plants

If you’re unsure about how and where to place your plants in a bathroom with two windows, consider installing a floating shelf between them.

Place some plants on the shelf and others on the window trims, with the largest plant on the bathroom floor below one of the windows.

Medium vertical window

If you do not have a large window that lets in enough light to maintain live plants, simply place a few plants where the sun comes in.

You can also place a larger plant on the floor by the window to enhance the space.

Two large side by side windows

These two large, beautiful windows bring in ample light, allowing you to fill your bathroom with many plants.

Surround your tub with tall and trailing plants, and don’t forget to add some flowers as well.

They will bloom beautifully with that amount of light.

Roof windows

If your bathroom has large roof windows, it’s a great idea to place some plants there for a blooming effect.

Position a large potted plant on the far side of the bathroom, facing the light from the windows.

Place flowers on your bathtub, and for finishing touches, add a smaller plant on your bathroom bench.

Place flowers on opposite sides

This corner window brings a lot of light into your bathroom, but you may not want your plants hanging on walls or the window itself.

A solution is to place them on the floor or lower bathroom surfaces on opposite sides of the room.

This will create a garden-like atmosphere every time you walk between them.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What Are the Best Types of Plants for a Small Bathroom Window?

When choosing plants for a small bathroom window, it’s essential to consider those that thrive in humid and low-light conditions.

Plants like ferns, snake plants, and pothos are excellent options because they can handle moisture and indirect light well.

For a sunny window, succulents and aloe vera add a refreshing touch without needing too much water.

If you prefer a plant that purifies the air, consider the peace lily, which also adds a serene, tropical vibe.

Remember to choose smaller plants that won’t overwhelm your limited bathroom space.

2. How Do I Keep Bathroom Plants Healthy With High Humidity?

High humidity can actually benefit many types of plants, but it’s important to ensure proper airflow to avoid mold or rot.

Make sure your bathroom window is frequently open or use an exhaust fan to keep the air circulating.

Also, pick pots with drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the bottom, which can cause root rot.

Water your plants only when the soil feels dry to the touch, as overwatering in a humid environment can be harmful.

For humidity-loving plants like ferns, misting the leaves every few days can also be helpful.

3. How Can I Arrange Plants on My Small Bathroom Window Without Cluttering the Space?

To avoid clutter, choose compact pots and planters that fit snugly on the window ledge.

Hanging planters are another great option to save space while adding a fresh, botanical look to your bathroom.

Use vertical space by placing plants on shelves or in wall-mounted planters next to the window.

Consider grouping a few small plants together for a cohesive, stylish arrangement without overcrowding the space.

Be mindful of leaving enough room for light to pass through the window to keep both your plants and bathroom bright.

4. What Should I Do If My Bathroom Doesn’t Get Much Natural Light?

If your bathroom window doesn’t get much light, select low-light plants like spider plants, ZZ plants, or philodendrons.

Artificial grow lights can also be a fantastic solution to keep your plants thriving in low-light conditions.

You can place an LED grow light near the window to simulate sunlight and boost plant growth.

Rotating your plants every week is another trick to ensure all parts of the plant receive light evenly.

Make sure to avoid overwatering low-light plants, as they tend to need less water than sun-loving varieties.

5. Can Plants Help Improve Air Quality in My Small Bathroom?

Yes, certain plants can help purify the air in your bathroom and improve the overall atmosphere.

Plants like peace lilies, Boston ferns, and snake plants are known for their ability to filter toxins from the air.

By absorbing moisture from the bathroom, they also reduce humidity levels, helping to prevent mold and mildew buildup.

In addition, having greenery in your bathroom can create a calming, spa-like feel, turning your space into a more relaxing retreat.

Keeping air-purifying plants by your bathroom window can make the space feel fresher and healthier.
