25 Inviting Tropical Bathroom Design Ideas

You'd get a relaxing feel in a tropical bathroom with plants and other natural elements.

If we talk about bathrooms, most of us would prefer to have a modern bathroom because aside from being a trend, it is also neat and organized since it use sleek lines and focuses more on function. But aside from modern and contemporary bathrooms, there are also other types of bathrooms that include tropical ones. A tropical theme for a home usually feature plants and some elements that are sometimes nearly Asian or beach-y in style.

Tropical decor is vibrant but not loud. It doesn’t make use of colors that are bold and too bright. Details of a tropical home may vary between countries and continents, but commonly it would have a laid-back approach with an emphasis to nature and the outdoors. Fibers of the tropics like bamboo, rattan and others are one common feature as well tropical wood like rosewood, mahogany and teak. Yes, we can use these wood and fibers in the bathroom. Another notable feature of a tropical space is its being light and airy with plenty of plants. Wondering how you can do that to your bathroom? Here are some images for inspiration:
