For the past few years, we have seen that Halloween is getting bigger and more fun each year. When summer ends, shops are full of Halloween costumes, decorations, and all the candy we can eat. And we really love it. If you are planning a Halloween party like us, you may have thought about preparing your home for the holiday. But have you ever thought about making your bathroom more scary? We did and that is when we realized that Halloween Bathroom Decor can bring the spooky spirit into every corner of your home.

Get ready to look at Halloween decorations for your bathroom that will make it the showpiece of the holiday.
Choosing a Theme for halloween bathroom decor
What a Scary House
As for scary house decor, use dust, old mirrors and blinking lights to make the bathroom look like an old house. Dark purples, blacks and blood reds set the right scene. Bits of gold and silver can add a creepy touch of class.
Not a Fun Fair
With a creepy carnival theme our bathroom can be both scary and fun. Use bathroom curtains with red and white stripes, clown masks and circus posters. Add touches like a funhouse mirror that is not straight and creepy circus music playing in the background to finish the look.
The Witch’s Lair
We can turn our bathroom into a witch’s abode with cauldrons, medicine bottles and magical symbols. Add fake spiders, dried herbs and spell books to make the bathroom look earthy and dark. A green or purple light can give off a creepy glow that makes the bathroom feel magical.
Old school scary movie
To honor old horror movies arrange our bathroom with things that remind us of Psycho The Shining or It. Put up old horror movie posters and bloody shower curtains and play creepy music to make it feel like you are in a scene from one of those classic movies.
Must-Have Decorations
Shower Door Covers
For many, the shower curtain is necessary in the bathroom. This is an excellent place to start. Choose a curtain that fits the theme, whether it has blood on it, a scary figure on it or a scene from a haunted house on it. For a fun activity, hang a curtain that changes color when wet showing handprints or faces buried inside.
Bath Mats
Adding a scary bath mat is an easy way to improve our theme. Some mats look like Ouija boards, bloody tracks and even skeletons. Bloodstains appear when we step on some mats, which is a fun treat for our guests.
Linens and bath towels
Change out regular towels for ones with a Halloween theme. Pick towels with scary designs like bats, skulls or spider webs. Black and red are always good choices. Towels that glow in the dark make them look even scarier.
Lights
How scary our bathroom is will depend on how bright it is. Use candles, string, or dimmed lamps instead of bright ceiling lights. We can also give the room a ghostly look with colored light bulbs. Using battery-powered lights is a safe way to make the room look creepy.
Mirrors
Mirrors can be creepy, especially when the room is dark. We can improve this by adding stickers or decals that look like hands or faces are showing up in the image. For a misty eerie look we could also use a fog machine or window frost that we spray on.
Art for the Wall
Add Halloween art, decals and pictures to the walls to make them look better. Depending on the theme, we could pick old movie ads from scary movies, witchcraft symbols or images of haunted houses. Wall stickers are great for temporary decorations because they are so easy to put up and take down.
Scary things
Set the scary mood with fake spiders, skulls and bones among other things. Please place them in intelligent spots around the bathroom, such as on the roof, next to the toilet or on the sink. When people walk in and surprise them, some props move.
Smells and Sounds
Add some scary sounds and smells to finish off the mood. To set the mood, hide a speaker and play scary music or words from the dead. Wax melts or candles that smell like pumpkin, cinnamon or even something scarier like burnt wood can make our bathroom feel haunted.
DIY Halloween Bathroom Decor
How to Create Halloween Bathroom Decor
There are many easy to do Halloween decorations we can use to make our bathroom creepy, whether for craft purposes or to save money. Here are some thoughts to help us begin.
Towels with Bloody Handprints
To make bloody handprint towels, use red fabric paint and white towels. Dip hands in the paint and press them onto the towel to create red handprints. After they dry we will have a scary ornament we can use repeatedly.
Magical potions in Mason jars
Color plain mason jars and give them scary names like Zombie Tonic or Witch’s Brew. This will make them look like frightening potion bottles. We can make them look more natural by adding colored water, glitter or small plastic bugs. Putting these jars on shelves or tables will make our witch’s home look more authentic.
Create web
Using cotton balls and white thread make webs. Lay the cotton balls out so that they look like thin threads. Using the thread, assemble the strings on mirrors, lamp posts and walls. When compared to store bought spiders this looks more real and creepy.
Spooky eyes on toilet paper rolls
We can use our old toilet paper rolls to make glowing eyes. Make eyes out of the roll and put a glow stick inside each one. Put the rolls somewhere dark or behind something to make it look like bright eyes are watching our guests.
Scary art on the lids of jars
Put scary pictures on the lids of the jars, like bats, skulls or ghosts. Put a magnet on the back of metal things in bathroom putting them on them will be easy. This simple project will give our bathroom a unique and scary look.
Themed Bathroom Activities for halloween bathroom decor
To make the Halloween bathroom decor stand out, include some fun activities people can do with it.
Message Mirror
Use soap or lipstick to write a scary message in the mirror. The message will show when the mirror fogs up from the steam, which will be fun for our guests. We could write Get Out! or a more extended warning about ghosts.
Station for Mixing Potions
On the bathroom counter set up a place to mix potions. Put colored drinks or water in small jars and give them scary names like Vampire’s Blood or Goblin’s Tears. Give everyone a cup to make their own drink potions. This is a lot of fun in a bathroom with a witch theme.
Facts About Horror Movies
Attach a small whiteboard or blackboard to the bathroom wall and write horror movie trivia questions on it. Our guests can answer them while they are in the bathroom making their visit more fun and involved.
Dead Body in the Shower
A skeleton in the shower will be a scary treat for our guests. If we buy a life-sized skeleton we can put it behind the shower curtain. People who look will be scared.
Toiletries that look like scary ghosts
Swap out everyday items for ones that have a Halloween theme. There is soap that smells like pumpkins, black toothbrushes and even a soap dish that looks like a spider. These small touches help the theme stand out and make the whole bathroom look better.
Safety Considerations for halloween bathroom decor
A scary atmosphere is fun but it is important to remember to be safe especially in a bathroom with water and electricity.
Do not overload outlets
Using string lights or other electrical decorations ensures the plugs are not manageable. As much as possible try to use lights that run on batteries and keep any lines away from water.
Use mats that would not slip
With all the fun make sure nothing terrible happens. If you have things on the floor that could make it wet or slippery like fog machines or displays that work with water put down non slip mats.
Hold loose things in place
Before putting things on shelves and tables, we should ensure they are stable. Things that could break or make a mess should be far from the sink or toilet.
Fire Safety
Candles need a strong stand. They should also be kept away from things that can catch fire like towels and shower curtains. LED candles that do not have flames are better than real candles.
Decor for Everyday Life After the Party
It is time to return our bathroom to how it looked before Halloween. Here is a quick way to do it.
Keep things that can be used again
Carefully remove any items that can be used again, like props, shower curtains and towels. Mark the box with their names so it is easy to find them next year. Vacuum sealing fabric items can save room and keep them fresh.
Take down any temporary decor
Carefully peel off any window clings or wall stickers and use a mild cleaner to remove any residue. Be careful not to hurt our walls or fixtures.
Make the Space Look New
Clean our bathroom well to eliminate any spider webs, candle wax or fake blood that remains. Put regular towels and sheets back on the bed, open a window or use a diffuser to make the bathroom smell better.
Think About Next Year
Take a look at what went well and what didn’t. How did your friends like the bath? Did they love the skeleton in the shower? Plan your decorations for next year based on what people said and think about building on the ideas that worked well.
Conclusion
