The scented potpourri blossom

Only if there is some sunlight coming through a window to shine upon a plant is a plant suitable for a bathroom. I once had a bathroom that had a window facing west and it would get the late afternoon sun. I grew an african violet on the window sill and it did great and I loved seeing the flowers, it was very uplifting.

Spider plants are the best bet. Other good ones include Philodendrons and Pothos (related to a Philodendron). These plants have actually been studied by NASA and are all good air-filtering plants. They also grow well in low light and can tolerate (and actually benefit from) the high humidity in bathrooms.
Spider plants occasionally have problems with insect infestations (like scales); the other two I mentioned rarely have those problems.
If you can manage to locate an all-green spider plant, it will be easier to grow and will grow better in low light than the green-and-white variety. The same goes for the Philodendrons and Pothos--all green varieties are more tolerant of low light.
Those plants are all hanging plants. If you want one that will grow straight up, consider a "Mother-in-law's tongue". Plants that grow in a more bushy way include "Dumb Cane", "Chinese Evergreen", "Cast Iron Plant" and the "zzz plant". These all grow well in low-light, high-humidity conditions.
If your bathroom is brighter, a whole variety of other options open up for you. You could consider "Wandering jew", "String of pearls", various palms or ferns, or a wide variety of other plants, maybe even a Ficus tree. Conditions in a bright bathroom are actually quite ideal for house-plants--bright, indirect light and high humidity is ideal for a huge variety of plants.
Good luck! I included a few web links if you want to read more. You can type the plants I named into google if you want info on them.

Try a Dallas Fern, or other small ferns, but you will have to check your lighting. Only silks survive in the dark.
