When you're redesigning a bathroom, bamboo probably isn't the first material that comes to mind. After all, ceramic tile, glass and porcelain are what typically dominate in the bathroom. But there are plenty of reasons why bamboo is the ultimate choice, and just as many ways to use it.

First of all, bamboo is a super eco-friendly resource that doesn't have a negative impact on the environment. It can grow up to three feet in a single day and thrives without the use of pesticides, making it a wonderful crop. It even releases more oxygen than other plants, helping to freshen up the atmosphere! It's also extremely durable and resistant to bacteria, making it perfect for use in a bathroom.

Of course, bamboo accessories aren't just about function - they're also attractive. When you use bamboo window blinds, bamboo floors and bamboo textiles, you lend your bathroom a clean, spa-like vibe that's perfect for the space. The decor possibilities of the material are endless, but if you're looking for a few ideas, check out some of Martha Stewart's suggestions.
