I have this tiny bathroom that always feels like the most forgotten space when it comes to Christmas decorating.
Every year, I stand there staring at it, wondering how to make it look festive without making it feel cluttered.
It’s not like I can throw a giant wreath or a Christmas tree in there, right?
But this year, I’m determined to make it work.
I want every part of my home, even this little corner, to feel cozy and full of holiday cheer.
So, I started thinking about small, creative ways to bring in the Christmas vibes—something simple yet festive.
If you’ve got a small bathroom too, I’ve got some fun ideas that’ll make the space merry without cramping your style.
Let’s get festive!
Your Christmas Bathroom (Decor Ideas)
My bathroom might be small, but that’s not stopping me from giving it some Christmas decor this year. I’ve been playing around with a few simple decor ideas to make it festive without feeling overcrowded, and let me tell you, it’s totally doable.
If you’re ready to deck out your bathroom too, I’ve got some cute and easy ideas to share!
1. Hang a Christmas Wreath Above the Towel Hook
Hang a Christmas wreath on your towel hooks or behind your bathroom door to instantly add a festive touch.
You can go for simple greenery with a bow or even wreaths decorated with tiny ornaments or berries.
If you don’t have hooks, try attaching a Christmas wreath with adhesive hooks.
It’s an easy way to bring a bit of Christmas charm to an otherwise overlooked area. Plus, they’re lightweight and won’t crowd your space.
2. Holiday Hand Towels
An easy way to decorate your bathroom for Chriatmas is by swapping out your everyday hand towels for ones with Christmas patterns.
Go for designs with reindeer, snowflakes, or a classic plaid.
If you prefer a minimalist look, stick to towels in red, green, or white with subtle embroidery.
They’re functional, easy to store after the season, and make your bathroom feel instantly ready for the holidays.
3. Festive Soap Dispensers
Switch out your regular soap dispenser for one with a holiday theme.
Think snowman-shaped dispensers, bottles with Santa prints, or even dispensers in metallic red or green.
It’s a small, functional detail that adds a bit of fun to your bathroom decor. Pair it with holiday-scented soap like peppermint or pine for an extra festive touch.
4. Christmas-Themed Shower Curtain
Make a statement with a Christmas-themed shower curtain.
Look for patterns with snowflakes, winter scenes, or cute holiday characters like reindeer or gnomes.
If you want something more subtle, opt for a curtain with a plaid or deep red-and-green color palette.
It’s an easy way to transform the space without adding clutter, and it ties the entire room together.
5. Mini Tree Arrangement
Place a small arrangement of a small tree or two and little white house on your bathroom counter.
You can keep it simple with natural pinecones or spray them with fake snow or glitter for a festive look. Add a small votive or jar candle with scents like cinnamon, cranberry, or balsam to set the holiday mood.
This decor idea takes up minimal space and adds a cozy, seasonal feel.
6. Holiday Wall Art
Hang a small Christmas-themed sign or framed print on your bathroom wall. Look for phrases like “Let It Snow,” “Merry & Bright,” or even minimalist art with holly or snowflakes.
It’s a quick and easy way to add a festive element, especially if your walls are plain or have space above the toilet.
Use removable hooks for easy installation and storage after the holidays.
7. Ornaments in a Clear Jar
Fill a glass jar or vase with mini ornaments in your favorite holiday colors and place it on the counter or a shelf.
You can mix and match shiny, matte, and glittery ornaments for a textured look. Add some fairy lights inside the jar for an extra magical touch.
This decor is compact, budget-friendly, and can be customized to match your overall Christmas theme.
8. Seasonal Bath Mats
Replace your regular bath mat with one that has a holiday design or color scheme.
Look for mats with snowflakes, reindeer, or festive plaid patterns to tie the room together.
If themed patterns aren’t your style, go for a rich red or green mat to subtly bring in the holiday spirit.
A cozy, seasonal mat not only looks good but also keeps the space warm and inviting during the colder months.
9. Snowflake Window Clings
If your bathroom has a window or a glass shower door, add festive snowflake window clings.
They’re super easy to apply and remove without leaving any residue. You can mix and match designs to create a winter wonderland vibe.
This is perfect for adding some holiday cheer without taking up any physical space in your bathroom.
10. Whimsical Snowman or Tree
Adding a snowman or mini Christmas tree to your small bathroom is a fun way to bring in some playful holiday vibes.
Look for compact designs that can easily fit on your counter, a shelf, or even the back of the toilet.
A cute snowman with a scarf and hat or a tiny tree with colorful ornaments instantly adds charm without taking up too much space.
Christmas Bathroom Decor
Decorating a bathroom for Christmas might not be the first thing on your list, but it’s such a fun way to bring holiday cheer to every corner of your home.
Even a small bathroom can feel festive with a few simple touches.
11. Christmas Candle
A Christmas-scented candle is an easy way to make your bathroom feel cozy and festive.
Look for scents like Christmas cookies, pine, vanilla, or peppermint to bring those holiday vibes.
Choose a candle in a decorative jar with Christmas designs or colors to double as decor.
Place it on the counter, a shelf, or even the back of the toilet for a simple yet impactful touch. Bonus: the warm glow makes the space feel extra inviting during the holiday season!
12. Add a Poinsettia Plant
A small poinsettia plant is a classic and elegant way to bring Christmas spirit to your bathroom.
Choose a mini version that fits easily on a shelf, the counter, or even the back of the toilet.
The bright red leaves instantly add a festive pop of color, while white or pink varieties can offer a softer holiday look.
If you’re worried about space or maintenance, a faux poinsettia works just as well and lasts all season without any upkeep!
13. Christmas-Scented Diffusers or Air Fresheners
Add a Christmas-scented diffuser or air freshener to your bathroom for a subtle festive touch.
Scents like cinnamon, pine, or peppermint can instantly make the space feel warm and holiday-ready. Look for reed diffusers with decorative holiday packaging or compact air fresheners in festive designs.
14. String Lights Around a Shelf
Wrap a strand of battery-operated string lights around a bathroom shelf or cabinet.
Go for warm white lights for a cozy vibe or multicolored ones for something playful. They’re easy to install, add a soft glow, and make the bathroom feel magical.
15. Christmas Ornament Garland
Hang a garland made of small ornaments along the top of a window, across a shelf, or even by your bathroom sink are.
It’s lightweight and doesn’t take up any counter space, making it perfect for small bathrooms. Choose colors that match your overall theme to keep the look cohesive.
16. Festive Soap Bar Display
Create a little display with holiday-themed soap bars in seasonal shapes or scents.
Arrange them on a decorative tray or small dish by the sink. Think snowflakes, Christmas trees, or gingerbread men for a fun and practical decor piece.
17. Hanging Mini Stockings
Hang mini Christmas stockings on the bathroom door, towel rack, or hooks.
They’re perfect for adding a whimsical holiday touch to the space. You can even tuck small items like holiday soaps or mini ornaments inside for a playful detail.
18. Mini Presents
Decorate your bathroom shelf with tiny wrapped presents for an adorable festive touch.
Use small boxes or faux gift props and wrap them in Christmas paper, adding bows or ribbons for extra charm.
Stick to a color scheme that matches your bathroom decor, like red and gold or green and silver.
These mini presents take up very little space and instantly make the room feel more festive and playful. Plus, they’re super easy to DIY with leftover wrapping supplies!
