Halloween Decoration Ideas for Your Bathroom

With Halloween right around the corner, you may be searching for the perfect way to take your household decorating to the next level. Whether you’re throwing your annual Halloween bash or want to decorate a bit for the kids or grandkids, the bathroom is often an overlooked space for decorating. Although it will catch many off guard, your guests and friends will enjoy being greeted by a bit of Halloween cheer when they enter your bathroom. Think outside the box and try one of these spooky ideas for decorating your bathroom this Halloween.

Stage a Murder Scene

Depending on the age of your guests, this may be a bit too scary—so proceed with caution. If your guests aren’t frightened very easily, staging a murder scene is an easy way to scare those who enter your bathroom. Simply purchase a cheap shower curtain, find an old towel, and use a mixture of acrylic paint and red food coloring to create the “gore.”

To create the effect:

• Hang the shower curtain and towels outdoors
• Splatter paint to resemble streaks of blood
• Add handprints for extra realism

Once dry, place the items in your bathroom and add some leftover “gore” to the mirror.

Spider Egg Sacs

Petrify your friends and family members when they open the bathroom door and are greeted by these homemade creations hanging from the ceiling. This inexpensive yet effective scare is a great DIY project to do with kids.

You’ll need:

• Foam eggs
• White batting
• White stockings
• Plastic spiders
• Pushpins and a glue gun

Wrap each foam egg in batting, pull a stocking over it, place spiders inside, and glue a few on the outside. Hang them from the ceiling using pushpins.

Toilet Paper Hands

What’s creepier than mysterious hands holding the toilet paper roll? These “magic” hands are simple to make and add a fun, eerie touch.

Materials needed:

• An old pair of mittens
• Aluminum foil
• Fabric scraps

Shape the fingers using foil (and fabric for extra bulk), then place the hands on either side of the toilet paper holder and insert a fresh roll.

Roaches...Everywhere!

Few things are as unsettling as the sight of cockroaches scattered around your bathroom. This easy decoration is perfect for shocking your guests.

• Buy plastic roaches from a Halloween store
• Apply removable adhesive to the bottoms
• Place them on floors, walls, ceilings, or countertops

Arrange them to look realistic when the lights turn on, then enjoy the reactions.

Decorated Pumpkins

Sometimes simple is best. Decorated pumpkins are a classic and easy way to bring Halloween spirit into your bathroom.

• Carve traditional or spooky faces
• Paint designs like black cats or patterns
• Use a hollowed pumpkin as a vase for flowers

Display them on the vanity, bathtub edge, or toilet tank for a festive finishing touch.
