Decorating your bathroom for Christmas

When the holiday spirit hits, you want to place decorations in every room of the house. Your bathroom/bathrooms are just another room when it comes to Christmas decorations. How much decorating you can do in your bathroom is dependent on the size of the room. If you have a large bathroom there are many more options, but with some creativity, any size bathroom can be filled with Christmas cheer.

Small bathroom

Many older homes have small bathrooms without many spaces to place Christmas decorations. One that works perfectly is the door. Every bathroom has one and unless it is a pocket door, you can use an over the door hanger to place a wreath or a hanging on the door. 

Some over the door hooks are two sided so that your inside and outside will both be decorated. Just keep in mind that the inside of the bathroom can get very damp and steamy, so you will want to choose a decoration that will not be damaged by the dampness. Some very nice looking artificial flower wreaths or perhaps homemade ornaments can work.

Your mirror is another place where you can decorate. You can place a festive poinsettia or holly swag over the top of the mirror or place bows along the top. With the suction holders, you can even attach things to your mirror. This might be a nice place to attach some jingle bells or a gingerbread man.

If you have a shower door, you can also use the suction hooks to attach any decoration that you choose to the door. The top of your toilet tank is the perfect place for a holiday placemat and a holiday-scented candle. You may also choose to place a small Christmas tree on the tank top.

Large bathrooms

With a large bathroom, you have many more choices. You may want to place a small Christmas tree or flower arrangement behind your tub if you have a jetted one with a tile edge. You can place music boxes on a shelf or on a table. Fill a pretty Christmas bowl full of colorful round ornaments and fresh greens.

No matter what size bathroom you have, you can place a holiday rug on your floor and hang holiday towels from your towel bars. If you use a shower curtain, you can go all out and get one with a holiday theme or at least a holiday color. Don’t worry, if you are not really a red and green person, you can find lovely decorations in blue and silver or gold and white.

When it comes to decorating your bathroom for Christmas, let the spirit of the season guide you, and if you can have music playing as well, there is nothing like a taking a shower to “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas.”
