Inexpensive Christmas Bathroom Decorating
Do you decorate the bathroom for Christmas? I always do this one on the main floor because it’s seen when anyone walks down the hall to get in or out of our home. It’s also the one guests use, so why not make it pretty? I purchased two rolls of ribbon to get the look and that’s it.
I had an extra wreath, you know one of those cheap $5 artificial pine wreaths that every craft store sells, hanging around the basement so I used it over the mirror. I figured it doesn’t get used as an everyday bathroom so why not cover it up. There’s still room in the middle of the wreath to check my lipstick when I leave the house so that’s good enough for me.
To add a little more color to the countertop I found a pedestal dish that I added ornaments and fresh cedar too, and I looked through my hand clothes for any in red, green and white for hand drying towels.
Bathrooms are the hardest rooms to photography by the way, I just can’t get into the right position to get good shots. The room isn’t huge, it does have the washer and dryer behind the door but it’s still not spacious for picture taking. No matter how many times I crawled into the tub it was still impossible to get a good pic of the vanity.
Here’s where the two rolls of ribbon were used. 10 ornaments, 10 various lengths of ribbon equal one decorated show curtain. Easy as can be, right? I didn’t even measure the ribbon I just held it up, cut off a length, tied one end to the ornament and the other to the shower curtain hook, and called it good. Sometimes I think the less planned the better it actually turns out.
Do you remember this cola crate I used on my porch this year? Well it found it’s way inside for winter. I have 3 of these artificial trees and I use them every year in some part of the house. They fit just perfectly into my galvanized sap buckets. This room was decorated in less than 10 minutes, just the way I like it.

Very cute!! Again I’m loving those little snowflakes on the tree. Do you remember where you bought them? I have four small trees and those are just the right size.
Jen I made the snowflakes with this Paper Punch and Glitter Cardstock Paper
Awwww….that’s why I can’t find any in the stores. Lol. I really appreciate how you always answer any questions, Dawn – it means a lot to me!! 🙂
Jen I can mail you an envelope of them if you’d like. I just used my hot glue gun to add them to the trees.
Really?!! That’d be great, Dawn!! My address is:

Jen give me a few days to get them done, and find my paper punch and I’ll send them over.
Oh! I don’t want to be such a bother, Dawn. Thank you so much for offering, though!!
Jen I’m planning on getting it done this weekend and it’s no bother.
So cute, Dawn! I love the ornaments hanging over the shower curtain. Sometimes I decorate the downstairs bathroom for Christmas, sometimes I don’t. This year I’m just using a few bottle brush Christmas trees. If I take a pic, I’ll add a poinsettia. It can’t survive in there though because there are no windows. Your home is looking very festive!
Jennifer, I always make the bathroom simple there’s not much room in there to do much of anything anyways.
Dawn,
Ohhhh I love the ornaments hanging on the shower curtain. Genius. Love your little cola wagon too. Just too sweet. Happy Holidays my friend.
Hugs,
Kris
Thank you Kris, are you getting the blizzard today? We are here and I’m loving it.
I love the little tree in the cola wagon too. A few Christmas ornaments and towels make the bathroom festive.

Kathleen bathrooms are easy to decorate and take only a few minutes. I wish every room was that simple.
Darling touches as always and cute ideas.
Thank you Debbie every year I come up with a new idea for the bathroom. Nothing over the top, just simple so guests get a kick out of it.
Cute idea! I’ve never thought about decorating the bathroom. It turned out really pretty! Love the coca cola wagon with the little Christmas tree.
I think your photos came out really nice. My bathroom. Is so dark and small so my photos always come out really dark, even when I add extra lighting.
Linda my home is naturally dark with all the wood so I have to edit all my photos too.
Looks nice Dawn. I do add some things to the bathroom, but hadn’t thought of ornaments over the shower curtain.
Linda I think the ornaments work if it’s a bathroom that’s not used every day. That shower only gets used a handful of time in the year. It may be a pain if it’s used everyday.
