What is seagrass?
Contrary to what its name might suggest, seagrass is an aquatic plant that also appreciates fresh water. Coming from China, it produces a flexible and robust fiber, which allows many types of weaving. Seagrass has the particularity of absorbing moisture: it is therefore perfectly suited to water features – starting with the bathroom.
Seagrass is used as flooring. In addition to its very natural canon look in the bathroom, it is a very good acoustic insulator. This vegetable fiber is also used to make various accessories, such as storage boxes and baskets.
In which bathroom to adopt seagrass?
Sober and natural, seagrass is suitable for almost any decor. Very effective for warming up the white bathroom, it sublimates very refined decorations: Zen bathroom or minimalist bathroom. It is also one of the essential materials in the ethnic bathroom. It is also stunning in a Mediterranean-inspired bathroom, in combination with zellige tiling. This vegetable fiber is ideal for balancing a mineral decoration, and it brings an additional touch of softness to the polished concrete bathroom or the natural stone bathroom.

If it is natural, seagrass has a strong personality. All you need is a few accessories to integrate it into the bathroom decor.
Seagrass storage boxes are sturdy, and they come in a wide variety of formats: that’s enough to choose them to organize the bathroom! We particularly like them with industrial bathroom furniture in wood and metal, to which she brings a little natural touch.
The mirror plays an important role in giving character to the bathroom. What if you think outside the box by adopting a seagrass model? This type of mirror is a smart solution for fitting out a small bathroom of 4 m² or less, because it is available in formats that are out of the standard.
In a bathroom with beautiful volumes, we love the plant decoration. And to stick to the trends, we adopt an indoor shrub or an XXL green plant, which we sublimate with a large seagrass basket!
The laundry basket is not really the most glamorous accessory in the bathroom, but it is very difficult to do without it. So, rather than trying to hide it at all costs, shop for a seagrass model with a lid.
The rug is one of the essentials for enjoying a cozy bathroom. Seagrass is a nice alternative to the traditional jute rug. You can easily find standard models. If your bathroom has atypical dimensions, it is also possible to opt for a custom model.
A fan of a SPA atmosphere in the bathroom? Candle holders are essential. In small or large format, solo or in strings, the seagrass model is enough to bring a Zen spirit to the room!
Bamboo, rattan, palm… The plant fiber suspension remains one of the major current trends. In the bathroom, we fall for seagrass without hesitation! Its look allows it to fit into a very natural decor or to bring a warm touch to a resolutely urban decor.
Console or bench: wood and seagrass furniture has a crazy charm. It is ideal for bringing a little twist to the white and wood bathroom and giving it a little seaside or country spirit.
A zen and original bathroom: nothing could be simpler with seagrass! Just use it as a wall covering, combined with a base. There are indeed wall coverings made of seagrass. If the implementation seems a bit complicated to you, that’s no problem: non-woven wallpaper imitates seagrass to perfection. This wallpaper also has the advantage of being easy to hang yourself!
Completely covering the ground with seagrass: good or bad idea? In theory, seagrass is perfectly resistant to humidity. One condition, however: it must be able to dry. For a fixed floor covering, it is therefore imperative that the room is well ventilated. If so, nothing to worry about. Because this robust floor covering is suitable for heavy traffic. You can therefore count on it, including in front of the basin!
