Dried Flowers Make The Ultimate Bathroom Decor For One Reason

We can't talk about home décor without mentioning flowers. Vibrant, pretty, and fragrant, they're easily one of the best finishing touches in any room — including the often-forgotten bathroom. Tucking a bouquet in the corner of your vanity is such a simple way to add character to a bland bathroom and elevate your self-care time. Of course, you might say, why buy new flowers every week when I'm on a budget? This is where dried flowers save the day. Buy once and they'll look beautiful year-round — a win-win for your wallet and bathroom.

Put simply, dried flowers begin as fresh blooms. They are then left to dry (usually by hanging upside down) to retain their shape and color. Some are even dyed to give the floral pieces a more flamboyant look. As a result, they can last for a year or more if looked after with care (e.g. you keep them away from splashing water and direct sunlight). And while the bathroom's humidity might affect the dried flowers' lifespan, they'll still give you plenty of bang for your buck compared to their quickly replaceable, fresh counterparts.

You can get a mini dried floral arrangement for as little as $5 on Etsy and set it on your bathroom vanity for a cheery touch. Or, hang a bundle of dried eucalyptus (available for just $8.99 per 12 pieces) over your showerhead to bring a spa-like feel to the space. If you're ready to splurge, consider something large and eye-popping, like the $150 Candy Sunset Bouquet from House of Lilac. You'll obviously need more countertop space for this beauty, but it sure does make an elegant statement. Bonus points if you already have fresh blooms in your home since you can dry and style your favorite flowers yourself, and simply pop them in the bathroom for an easy refresh.

Note that vases aren't the only way to decorate with dried flowers. One idea is to create a unique flower display with TikTok's clever baby oil trick. Another way to go about this is to display delicate petals in a frame or glass jar. Once you've secured the dried blooms, relish in the fact that you don't need to replace them anytime soon. But that's not all. These dried varieties also require zero watering, making them an even greater option if you can't be bothered with regular maintenance. Think of them as a sustainable floral investment with long-lasting charm.
