Plants are known for their calming, air-purifying effects, which makes them an ideal choice for a bathroom. They’re also a subtle way to add lush, natural colour to a white or neutral scheme. Place plants next to baths on windowsills or hang from the ceiling to layer up the leafy look. Look for plants that are happier in humid environments.

Kimberley Pope at Grainger PLC says: "Spathiphyllum (peace lily) require low intervention and minimum light exposure....and can help prevent the formation of mildew, making it an ideal bedroom or bathroom plant." If your bathroom is on the small side add mirrors to dark corners to enhance natural light. "By strategically placing mirrors around your apartment, you enable light to reflect into the home, creating a sunny haven for your plants to grow," continues Kimberley.
