Plants in a white bathroom with wood and wickerwork
The fresh green of plants can brighten any environment. The basic color white makes leaves look especially good. Wood and wickerwork strengthen the connection with nature.

Summer mood through colors, plants, and maritime materials

White bathroom with beige and brown furniture and accessories
Natural shades against a white background convey a summery atmosphere and evoke associations with nature.

Excellent design lives on inventiveness first and foremost. Maritime colors like blue, turquoise, or natural shades like beige, brown, and green evoke pleasant memories of beach, sea, and summer happiness. Carpets, towels, ceramics, or sculptures will immediately give your bathroom a summer look.

Space-efficient plant wall for a breath of fresh air

Green plants bring the outdoors into your bathroom. Have you ever thought about a plant wall? The high humidity in the bathroom is perfect for plants. A vertical plant wall can be implemented even in a small bathroom, as it only takes up a few square centimeters of floor space.

If the natural light isn't enough, you can supplement it with plant lights. Be sure to choose plants that require little light, like peace lilies, orchids, or sansevieras. The green of nature purifies the air in your bathroom and harmonizes with all common tile colors. 

Shells, sand, and maritime decoration

Shells and sand signal that the next vacation is just around the corner. It's easy to scatter shells in the bathroom, or you can alternatively set accents with a large spider conch or tulip snail shell. A large jar filled with shells or sand in different shades looks great. Using a shallow bowl, you can create your own miniature version of a beach with sand and shells.

But you can also convey that maritime feeling with select decorative items. Bronze starfish, fish, or yacht accessories as towel hangers will fit any interior style. Stage your summer decorations with light. With modern lights, you can control the light color through your smartphone. 

Flowers and plant with gray tiles and wooden windows
Fresh flowers and the green of leaves harmonize perfectly with the warm gray of the tiles and the wood of the window frame.

Create atmosphere by stimulating all the senses

Decorative items and furniture made of natural wood create a summer mood through visual stimuli. With the right sound, you can boost the visual impression enormously. Mobile Bluetooth speakers provide summer sounds even in a limited space. Numerous models impress with beautiful shapes and practical functionality. Ideal for the small bathroom: a speaker to hang up.

Gentle massage with rain shower

When gentle drops of water bead up on the skin, a feel-good effect immediately sets in. In a bathroom with limited space, the adjustable water jet from the puristic Pulsify Select hand shower by hansgrohe can replace a rain shower – and save water at the same time. 

Luxurious bathroom accessories can also spread summer vibes. Replacing off-the-shelf accessories with high-quality design creates an atmosphere of value. Enhancing any space confirms to us that we can shape our environment to our liking. This way, you can signal to your subconscious that you can enjoy your summer anytime.
