I found this photo of a cute bathroom on HGTV. I am a true lover of the use of wood and all things natural they bring warmth warmth to any room. But when it comes to bathrooms it’s a no go for me. Life today is crazy enough; we don’t need to be introducing material in a room that adds to our workload. Teak is one of a few woods that can handle the moisture, but to keeping it looking like it does in this picture will take a lot of work and each year as the finish wears it will take more time. One of my many goals when working with a client is to design their space to be low maintenance so they can enjoy it after a hard day at work, not come to see more work!
So when choosing materials for a project make sure that they enhance the space without add to you stress pool!

I agree totally. Wood is something that has to be cared for extremely well when it comes to a bathroom setting. Not a good choice if you don't have the time to maintain it.
