Taking Advantage of the Sink

Usually a standout element, the sink can have a space on its countertop to place vases that give the bathroom a new tone. Some species that do not require much maintenance can stand out, such as those that can be grown directly in water - dragon tail plant, syngonium, bamboo - or even dried flowers.

Some bathrooms have idle corners, perfect for placing vases that can give the room other colors. Occupying an unused corner with pots and plants adapted to humid environments is a way to transform the space and the shower experience when you have a large shower area.

Connection With the Outside

It is possible to design a bathroom that is open to the outside and still maintains privacy - and plants can actually serve this purpose. Besides bringing a sense of spaciousness, this option also increases the quality of natural lighting - great for more assertive aesthetic care.
