How to Decorate Your Bathroom for Christmas

You'll want holiday guests to stay in the Christmas spirit even when they slip into the bathroom. Here are some ways to deck it out.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Christmas-theme Soap
• Holiday-theme Throw Rugs
• Spray Can Of Snow
• Batting
• Fingertip Towels
• Artificial Holly
• Scented Candles
• Christmas Wreaths
• Poinsettias
• Potpourri
• Christmas Figurines
• Soap Dishes
• Glitter
• Christmas-theme Hand Lotion Dispensers
• Christmas Garlands

1. Hang a Christmas wreath on the door.

2. Layer holiday-theme fingertip towels over larger plain towels.

3. Put out a holiday soap dish and soaps. (Think creatively - the soap dish could be a saucer from a Christmas table setting.)

4. Fill a Christmas-theme (or red or green) dispenser with hand lotion and set it near the sink.

5. Create a Christmas vignette for the top of the toilet tank. This could include a small Santa figure with a pair of reindeer on cotton batting with glitter snow, for instance, or could be as simple as a potted poinsettia.

6. Pull together a similar Christmas vignette for the windowsill.

7. Burn a candle with a seasonal scent, such as bayberry, cinnamon, or pine and set out potpourri in the same scent.

8. Spray aerosol snow on the window and around the edge of the mirror.

9. Hang a garland atop the mirror.

10. Put out a Christmas-theme rug (even a welcome mat!) in place of the usual bathroom rug.

11. Garnish the decor with sprigs of holly and short lengths of garland where you can. For instance, use garland in place of curtain tiebacks and twist a sprig of artificial holly around the base of the lotion dispenser.

Tips & Warnings

• Position burning candles so that no one is likely to sweep a shirttail, cuff or other clothing near the open flame. Also, place burning candles so that the flames will not be near any combustible object such as a hanging towel.

on 8/10/2006 I hang a few of my most special ornaments in front of the mirror from the light fixture over the sink using gold ribbon, and maybe add a beaded garland with it. How you do it depends on the type of light fixture you have, but I've done it in different bathrooms with different fixtures; you always gets a good view of the ornaments when you wash your hands.
