Christmas Bathroom Decor for Your Home

When people are decorating for the holidays, they trim a tree in the living room, twirl lights around the trees in the front yard, and twine garland up the stairs. They almost never give one thought to Christmas bathroom décor. The very idea of Christmas bathroom décor might seem silly to some, but it could be the very thing that sets your family gathering or holiday party apart from the rest.

Make Soap ‘Cookies’


With a little prep work and a dash of creativity, you can make your own pseudo soap ‘cookies’ for guests to enjoy as they wash up. First, you will need to find a decorative cookie tin. Family heirloom or antique tins will give added charm.

Second, you will need a soap making supply store or specialty craft store to get a base soap and additives. You want to make sure that your soap has the essence of vanilla, cinnamon, gingerbread or another winter pastry smell, as this will make your Christmas bathroom décor smell like a bakeshop.

The melted soap concoction can then be poured into heat-resistant cookie molds in the shape of gingerbread men, stars, and any other popular cookie shape you can think of. For added charm and realism, you can add soap ‘sprinkles’.

Ho, Ho, Robe!

Christmas house guests will be surprised and delighted to know that you have provided them with plush robes during their stay, and even more so if they know they are festive. You will want to collect red robes in a variety of sizes, from child through adult for the project. They do not need to be the same shade of red to be successful Christmas bathroom decor.

Next, you will need to dye the robe’s belt black with fabric dye. Once the belt is dry, you will want to sew a large gold buckle on one side of it. As an added touch, buy some white faux fur and sew it around the wrists of the robe. The finished product can be hung on hooks in the bathroom for guests to enjoy after their shower.

Provide Reading Material

For a whimsical touch, consider purchasing large archival paper at an art supply store. If you can find aged paper, the finished project will look more authentic. Next, make two columns — one for ‘naughty’ in red ink, and one for ‘nice’ in green ink.

Now, fill in the names of any family members or friends that will be in your home throughout Christmas. This will provide a surprised laugh from guests, as they scan the long list looking for which side they fall on.

You can also laminate the list so that it’s waterproof. You can suction cup it to the shower wall for the same surprised reaction from guests. With a little work and a wink of humor, your Christmas bathroom décor can become the holiday tradition that your guests most remember years from now. At the very least, you’ll get a chuckle out of them.
