Are you looking for ideas on how to add artificial plants to a bathroom? Why would you prefer to use artificial plants rather than real plants? Take a look at why I’ve added artificial plants in a bathroom in my home.
A couple of years ago, we completed our utility room/downstairs shower room, and I added some lovely real plants to the room; it was nice to include real plants in the home due to their air-purifying properties, but they didn’t last long! I don’t have enough natural light in our utility room. We have no windows, only the sun tunnel, which is brilliant at sending light into the room (my photos in this post are just lit with the sun tunnel light!). So my plants quickly decided this was not the room for them and were moved or didn’t make it.
This was when I decided artificial plants in a bathroom were the correct route for me to take. I have worked with Blooming Artificial to pick some plants that work well in the room, give some interest to the units, and fill a blank space with interest.

Artificial Plants In A Bathroom
I picked the Artificial monster(a) bundle, which included 3 plants, to place in my utility room. They were sent promptly and safely delivered.
They were well packaged in the box, securely wrapped and strapped down to stop the movement.
When your plants arrive, they are wrapped up and will need opening up and releasing. The leaves must be set free and have a chance to settle. You need to be aware of how the plants have been secured, as an orange wire must be kept on the plant and black cable ties. Leave the orange ties!
The orange ones keep the plant upright and need to be kept on. The black cable ties were so tightly secured on though, so tight that I felt like they shouldn’t be cut. I did, though, as it meant the leaves spread out and looked better for the plant’s shape.
The smaller plants and pots were securely placed inside a smaller box all together.
What Artificial Plants Did I Order For My Bathroom
The plant bundle includes a large Cheese plant, which is a great size at 120cm and includes a 25cm white plant pot.
Plant two is a Monstera Albo which measures 40cm and includes a 14cm blue vibes pot (I’ve popped mine in a pink pot of my own)
Plant three is a hanging Monkey Monstera plant which is 80cm in length
I decided to get these three plants, as I had just installed some new wall units and I wanted to soften them, so I added some basket storage boxes above, the Monstera Albo in a pot on the top, and I’ve trailed the Monkey Monstera down the sides, and along the top of the units.
I also liked the way the hanging plant went down the edges of the units, breaking up the solid panel that you can see from the shower.
So Why Are Artifical Plants Good In A Bathroom?
1. Humidity Tolerance:
Bathrooms often have high humidity levels due to showers and baths, which can be tough on real plants. On the other hand, artificial plants aren’t affected by moisture, so they won’t wilt, rot, or develop mould, making them ideal for humid environments.
2. Low Maintenance:
Unlike real plants, artificial ones don’t require watering, sunlight, or regular care. This makes them a low-maintenance decorative option that still adds a touch of nature to your bathroom.
3. Durability:
Artificial plants are built to last and won’t get damaged by fluctuating temperatures or the damp atmosphere of a bathroom. You can enjoy their beauty without worrying about them fading or deteriorating.
4. Allergen-Free:
Real plants can attract dust or mould, which may be a concern in a damp bathroom. Artificial plants, however, don’t produce pollen or spores, making them a good option for those with allergies.
5. Variety:
Artificial plants come in various styles, sizes, and types, so you can choose exactly what fits your bathroom décor. Whether you prefer tropical plants, succulents, or ferns, there’s something for every taste and bathroom theme.
6. No Need for Sunlight:
Some bathrooms may not have windows or sufficient natural light, essential for real plants to thrive. Artificial plants can be placed anywhere without worrying about light exposure.
7. Adds Aesthetic Value:
Plants can bring life and colour to a bathroom, helping create a calm, serene atmosphere. Whether you go for a minimalistic look or want to create a lush, tropical vibe, artificial plants help achieve that without the upkeep.
I am really happy with my new artificial plants for the bathroom. They are good quality and good value, and I love that they will just need a dusting and then look after themselves!
