Plants in a white bathroom with wood and wicker
The fresh green of the plants brightens any ambiance. Having white as the main colour really makes the leaves stand out, while the wood and wicker further highlight the connection to nature.

Summer vibes with colours, plants and nautical materials

White bathroom with furniture and accessories in beige and brown
Natural hues against a white background give off summer vibes and elicit a connection with nature.

Exquisite design thrives when there is a wealth of ideas. Nautical colours such as blue, turquoise or natural shades like beige, brown and green evoke lovely memories of the beach, sea and happy summer times. The addition of rugs, towels, ceramics or sculptures can instantly give your bathroom a summery look.

Space-saving green wall for fresh air

Bring nature into your bathroom with green plants. Have you ever thought about a green wall? The high humidity in the bathroom is perfect for plants. A vertical green wall can even be installed in a small bathroom, as it only takes up a few square centimetres of floor space.

If the natural light isn’t enough, you can supplement it with plant lamps. Make sure you choose plants that need little light – peace lilies, orchids or sansevierias are all good options. The natural greenery cleanses the air in your bathroom and goes well with all conventional tile colour schemes. 

Shells, sand and nautical décor

Shells and sand indicate that the next holiday is around the corner. Simply scatter shells around the bathroom or create accents with a large conch or tulip shell. A large glass filled with shells or sand in various shades also looks attractive. Or you can design your own miniature version of a beach with sand and shells in a flat bowl.

Alternatively, you can evoke that nautical feeling with the right choice of décor. Starfish, fish or bronze yacht accessories as towel hooks suit all interior design styles. And be sure to cast your summery décor in the right light by controlling the colour of the smart bulbs via your smartphone.

Fresh flowers and the green of the leaves go perfectly with the warm grey of the tiles and the wood in the window frame here.

Create atmosphere by stimulating the senses

Decorative items and furniture made of natural wood evoke that summer feeling through their visual appeal. You can further augment the optical impression through the use of relevant melodies. Portable Bluetooth speakers can provide summer sounds, even if space is limited. What’s more, a number of models come in a beautiful design and offer practical functionality. And a speaker you can hang up is perfect for small bathrooms.

Gentle massage with rain shower

When soft water droplets cascade down the skin, the feel-good effect immediately sets in. In a bathroom with limited space, the Pulsify S EcoSmart hand shower from hansgrohe replaces a rain shower, while also saving water. 

Luxurious bathroom accessories also spread that summer feeling. Replacing off-the-shelf accessories with high-quality design pieces creates a sense of value. When we enhance any setting, it confirms to us that we can shape our surroundings into anything we want. This is one way of letting your subconscious know you can enjoy summer at any time of year.
