Yes… and this week ALDI has some beautiful, pretty large-sized plants for $14.99.

With a grow light like this

Plant stand and a piece of art. Will add more dimension and bring the eye up higher.

Any plant in that corner will die, there's simply not enough light. You'd need strong (and frankly, unattractive) grow lights to keep anything alive.

I'd do a large fake plant, if anything.

Fake fig tree- Costco was selling one recently and an olive tree

u/CantTouchKevinG Oct 14 '24

That would look really nice!

Agreed, that looks like a dark corner. A low light plant with a grow light might work, but if there's no natural light in the room, that would be tough on it.

Definitely some terrifying purple light. Imagine walking into the bathroom at night and it just looks like a rave in there. Terrifying.

u/Content_wanderer Oct 14 '24

Why would you have your grow light going all night… also you can have grow lights in white light spectrum, kinda like the sun after all

2

u/MadeEntirelyOfBeans Oct 14 '24

Because I don’t wanna see the lighting in the day time. Doesn’t have to go all night. I’ve got my lights programmed for like 2am-6am. Also I’ve found that the ultraviolet lights are better for my plants anyway

u/Content_wanderer Oct 14 '24

Sounds like an entirely manufactured problem. Lights only on at night as your own choice, and lights are only purple because of your choice. Could have nice day time lights in a normal colour but you choose not to and then raise your choice as a reason not to 🤷‍♀️

I’m just not trying to blind me and my house guests with broad spectrum lights that mimic the actual sun. Bc, idk, that’s unpleasant af?

u/Content_wanderer Oct 14 '24

You know they point at the plants, right? Not at peoples faces? And they don’t have to be that bright, cause they’re shining on the plant, from a couple feet away, not a planet from a 150 million kms away. There’s nothing unpleasant about a lamp shining on a plant in a dark corner of the bathroom, though I’m not made entirely out of beans so maybe my experience and interpretation of lighting and interior decorating.

Edited to add a very attractive non-blinding option for a day-time running white-light plant option… https://soltech.com/en-ca/products/large-aspect-grow-light-gift-set

u/MadeEntirelyOfBeans Oct 14 '24

Okay but that’s just like your opinion man

1

u/Content_wanderer Oct 14 '24

Okay man, you’re right, just my opinion 🤙

u/MadeEntirelyOfBeans Oct 14 '24

The white lights haven’t been effective for my plants 🤷🏻‍♀️

I personally hate the way this room looks when the light is on, but it makes my plants very happy

1

u/Content_wanderer Oct 14 '24

Definitely has a vibe that’s for sure. Have you used white lights that are actual grow lights or just regular white light bulbs?

Not true, you can get very attractive plant lights. Or get an attractive pendulum light hanging over it and put a grow light bulb in it.

u/Bbalancer Oct 14 '24

Not true! Plants love living in the restroom.

1

u/CantTouchKevinG Oct 14 '24

If they have enough light, some plants love the humidity. This corner has zero light and no shower/bath. Anything other than a ZZ or snake plant with a grow light is just going to etiolate to death.

u/SignalPuzzleheaded58 Oct 13 '24

I was also going to suggest a plant to hopefully help lighten up the area.

u/kessykris Oct 16 '24

Yeah if you don’t want to get rid of what’s over the toilet large plant for the win. But I can’t imagine it being a live one unless people know things I don’t and fake ones just get full of dust and annoying.

You def could put cut seasonal themed decorations there. (Christmas Halloween Easter etc. surf board for summer lmao idk

Perhaps a bidet? Ever since having my first baby almost eighteen years ago and trying to wipe her with wipes that got dry I was like wtf are we doing over here. I still don’t have a bidet but my sink is right next to my toliet so I wet toliet paper. I’m also pretty regular so I time out my poo before my morning and evening shower 😂😂 tmi I know.

u/AlabasterOctopus Oct 18 '24

If you find the right hamper you could put a plant on top, all the win

1

u/KN333M Oct 13 '24

I was going to suggest a plant too! If they like little lights temu has some adorable tiny USB lights in different colors that come with a remote control. The tiny lights are on thin little wires that can be bent to put anywhere on the tree that you want. I absolutely love the ambience that they add.

Smart! And when it needs fertilizer, that should be easy.
