Decorating with Natural Elements

One way to incorporate natural elements in your bathroom is by upgrading your  towels and bathmats to use eco-friendly bamboo viscose or cotton. These materials are touted for their softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties and make great additions to any space.

When considering natural elements for your bathroom, incorporate that feeling of being in nature by selecting earthy paint colors. Earth tones like terracotta, sage green, warm browns, stone tones, and even cool blues can bring an instant connection with nature to your space.

Add green plants like ferns, peace lilies, eucalyptus, pothos, snake plants, and more to bring a literal piece of nature into your space. Some plants require only low light for bathrooms that lack natural lighting, so look for that as an option, if needed.

If your space allows, consider creating a mini shower jungle by bringing in both large and small plants to create a jungle-like feel. Incorporate hanging baskets, floor-level pots, and plant stands to add height and volume.

When it comes to decorating with natural elements, the possibilities are nearly endless! From teak shower stools to bamboo trays to soy candles in reusable ceramic pots and more, bringing the natural world into your bathroom is easy.

A décor element that is sometimes overlooked is the use of natural light fixtures, like sconces, chandeliers, and overhead lights made from wood or rattan. Frosted glass bricks and skylights can bring natural lighting into your space in a more unique way than a traditional window or transom.

In addition to using candles for décor, scented candles, plant-based essential oils, and diffusers made with clean ingredients can boost or calm your mood and enhance the natural, spa-like vibe.

To bring the peacefulness of nature into your bathroom, start here with lower-effort changes:

• Swap existing linens for bamboo towels and bathmats
  
  
• Add 2-3 easy-care plants
  
  
• Refresh bathroom paint with warm neutrals or earth tones
  
  
• Upgrade your décor with natural light fixtures or bamboo feature pieces
  
  
• Add scents found in nature to complete the vibe

Embracing natural elements in your bathroom isn’t just about style—it’s about creating a sanctuary that soothes your senses and supports your well-being. With just a few thoughtful choices—from plush, sustainable textiles to calming greenery and nature-inspired details—you can transform your bathroom into a peaceful retreat that feels like a daily escape.
