Add plants
To start transforming your bathroom, plants will be your best friend. A simple and inexpensive solution to install, they will immediately give the natural look you are looking for. However, it is important to remember that the bathroom is a humid room with varying temperatures and often little light, so not every plant will be suitable. Far be it from us to present ourselves as professionals in the field, but we will nevertheless mention or even recommend certain plants that will be perfect in a bathroom.
We will also take into account that you do not have a green thumb, some plants require a lot of regular maintenance which can quickly become restrictive. We will therefore present you with plants that are fairly easy to maintain.
For the first one we have selected a chamaedorea for your bathroom, this small palm tree will bring a touch of greenery and elegance to your space with its evergreen foliage. It is best placed near a window so that it can get some light and far enough away from the bath or shower.
The second plant we suggest is a maranta, with its green and coloured leaves with touches of pinkish-red it will make a sensation in your bathroom. Straight from the rainforests of Central America, it likes a warm and humid climate, which will be perfect in your bathroom.
For the third, we recommend aloe vera, a perennial plant without a stem that can be placed anywhere and will take up little space while bringing a certain charm. It can also be used for all the medicinal virtues that we know.
Next, a green plant that will add a touch of elegance to your relaxation area, the strelitzia. It should be placed in a bright spot, but will also appreciate being close to a water source with moisture or in a dry spot. It will bring a real jungle look with a tropical air, you will have to take care of it so that it develops well and spreads beautiful leaves.
And finally, for a slightly different style, a scindapsus pictus. This hanging plant will dress up the space without taking up too much room. Placed high up so that it can grow downwards, it will transform your bathroom into a real natural paradise.

Natural materials
Decorating with plants may be enough for some people to turn their bathroom into a green space that reminds them of nature, but for some people, it needs to go further. The materials used can help give your bathroom a more natural look.
Wood, of course, is going to be a must, a product of nature, it will not be difficult to use it for your vanity, furniture or objects. But for other products such as the washbasin, the bathtub or the shower tray, you will need another material that also respects the natural style.
Today we can find several solutions, natural stone which will be able to offer you solutions with its luxurious aspect and its moderate resistance. Then we can find waxed concrete which will also combine with wood and give a natural look and finally our favourite, solid surface. Composed of stone dust and resin, it will meet the natural desire you wish to bring to your bathroom. The solid surface offers many advantages such as increased resistance to impact or scratches, it will also be easy to maintain with its non-porous composition and will be able to be repaired if an accident happens unlike other materials that are not repairable.
