Bathrooms with Lush Green Living Walls

Aug 13, 2018 | Posted in Inspirations | Share

If you like plants and living things, like I do, then you’ll love this fun and unexpected way to bring more plants into your home — in the bathroom! Here are bathrooms featuring living walls of lush greenery to inspire you.

A modern Zen bathroom, to the left showing a white robe hung on the wall, candles on wooden stands on the side of a white freestanding tub with silver fixtures, a green rug in the center of a tiled floor, and on the right, a pair of square white porcelain sinks on a warm wooden counter with undersink open storage and closed storage, with a matching wood-framed mirror above each sink. At the center back of the image is a wooden walkway over a blue multicolor tiled wading pool, leading to a simple wooden stool under a modern shower fixture hung on the white back wall, surrounded by potted plants, trees, and vines. The shower area appears to be outside under an open overhang, while the rest of the bathroom is enclosed.

This space gives the effect of walking on water on your way to the shower, with a wooden walkway over a tiled wading pool, ending in a simple wooden seat below the shower fixture, surrounded by greenery. A Zen feeling is a lovely way to start your day.

 

A glass surround with an open door and wooden handle invite you to step up into this tropical-inspired bathing space, following a path of wooden pavers to a freestanding white tub filled with flower petals, surrounded by leafy fronds, a palm tree, and a small wooden table with candles. Four small lanterns hang at different heights from a skylight with dark wooden beams about a foot apart, filtering the light into the space. A window at the back has dark surround and an off-white shade for privacy.

I adore the feeling of the skylight with the beams, a great way to filter light and add visual interest. This space has a global sensibility with the hanging lanterns and the Balinese wood, surrounded by tropical plants.

 

A modern glass shower stall reveals a small wooden stool with towel in front of a tall wall full of lush vines, greenery and a few bright pink flowers, with the modern white hand-shower fixture installed into the living wall, the top of which acts as a shelf for shampoo and conditioner bottles. A rain showerhead above completes the space, while a silver towel rail is just visible to the far right through the glass, outside the shower.

Here I like how the fixture is actually mounted into the living wall. Plus every time you shower, you can mist your plants – easy maintenance!

Similar to the prior image, this design also has the fixture mounted into a living wall of ferns and mosses, this time with a luxury freestanding modern tub.

The back wall is entirely of glass with large live plants and hedges just outside, and additional potted plants inside the steps leading down and into the bathroom. Two oversize mirrors behind each sink reflect the stone walls out of view. A dark woven basket under the counter for dirty towels, while clean towels are rolled on plates either end of the counter. A wooden camp stool sits at the far end of the counter, close to the open glass doorway. The space is lit nearly entirely by daylight, with a few downlights for good measure.

The sunken design of this bathroom is very effective; it keeps the space cooler and feels privately luxurious, like a secret hideaway behind hedge walls.

On the floor a white woven basket of clean towels rests near a lattice-design rug, a wire basket for dirty towels, and to the far right a wooden table with a potted plant and some collectible glass and stone items.

This one may fool you – it’s a wall mural! This is a great way to bring greenery into your bathroom, very low-maintenance. The quality of the mural is absolutely key to making the effect work and not feel cheap in this Bohemian bathroom. I have some great resources so definitely get in touch if this idea inspires you!
