Believe By The Vanity

Dark wood, marble, and a “BELIEVE” sign with gingham bows—classic meets merry, right?! A tiny flocked tree perched on the tank ties together the plaid accents for effortless Christmas bathroom decor. Consider it elegant…but still fun.

Buffalo Check Shower Pop

That bold red plaid curtain? A SHOW-STOPPER. The patterned floor + shiplap + cheeky wall signs layer in just the right amount of humor (Get Naked…please have a seat). A mini tree on the vanity adds sparkle…without clutter. Steal this for your own bathroom – instant cheer, 0% fuss.

Plaid & Pine Bell Moment

A tartan curtain sets the tone while the pine-bell artwork rings in nostalgia (literally). The star? Christmas bathroom towels with tiny tree motifs—functional AND festive!

Olive & Brass, Quiet Holiday

Olive vertical paneling, a warm wood vanity, and soft brass—calm, cool, collected. A petite fir on a bentwood stool proves small bathroom Christmas decor can be chic (not cramped). Linen shower drape + vintage prints = understated sparkle.

Vintage Mint + Pops Of Red

Retro mint walls, a pedestal tub, and open shelves brimming with aqua bottles—HELLO, cottage charm. Pops of candy-apple red on the towel and mitten rug crank the nostalgia meter to 100%. Little village pieces on the shelves (Santa cameo included) feel sweet but not cluttered. If you’re hunting for Christmas bathroom decor ideas, this is your mood board. Cozy, cheery, done.

Snowy Forest Spa

A serene curtain of snow-dusted evergreens turns the shower into a winter window (no cold toes, promise). Black hardware and graphic wallpaper keep it crisp/modern. Add a tray of greenery + a candle and you’ve got spa-night vibes.

Modern Merry Minimal

Gold-arched mirror, black faucet, soft whites…then BAM—greens and a friendly deer for just-right whimsy. This is basically a masterclass in how to decorate a bathroom for Christmas: switch in green textiles, tuck in a simple tree, hang a playful print. Minimal moves / maximum cheer!!

TP Topiary Trick

Three toilet paper rolls turned into mini topiaries (berries! frosted sprigs!)—who knew?! Paired with festive soaps and a bottle-brush tree by the window, it’s the quickest little holiday wink.

Industrial Frosted Farmhouse

Pipe shelves + ruffled curtain + tiny ceramic houses…cozy overload (in the best way). A countertop trio—mini tree, “Bless you” tissue box, and warm soap—pulls it together like, “hey, stay a while.”

Shiplap & Spruce Double Vanity

That raw wood console with square sinks? YES PLEASE. A big fern in a matte-black vase and those cheeky green Christmas towels draped just so—simple move / big holiday impact. Black hardware keeps it crisp, modern, done.

Ribbon & Wreath Powder Room

Two tiny wreaths tied with red bows flank the scalloped mirror (cute, right?!). The vintage-y wallpaper + pedestal sink feels storybook-chic.

Rustic Shelf Humor (With Sparkle)

Shiplap, metal shelves, and…a “Poop Co.” sign that makes everyone giggle—because décor can have jokes, too. Brass deer, bottle-brush trees, and snowy stems mix in texture/shine.

Cozy Tub—Tree Farm Edition

Snowflake reds draped over the tub, a basket of greens on the wall, and a vintage “Christmas Trees” sign—hello, nostalgia. The caddy’s little potted fir says “spa night, but festive.”

Merry & Bright Vanity Twins

Round beaded mirrors, matte-black faucets, and a petite evergreen grounded by gingham…could it be easier? Swap in checked hand towels, add a sign, done!!

Petite Gray Bath With Wreath Pop

Proof that a small space can go big on charm—see the plaid-ribbon wreath hovering over the half-wall? Mini houses on the tank + tree-embroidered linens keep it sweet and tidy.

Candlelit Clawfoot Glow

Twinkle-lit tree in a “Merry Christmas” bucket, candles lining the shelf, and a wood bath tray—spa vibes, but make them holiday. Soft whites and natural woods whisper instead of shout ahhh. Ready for a peppermint soak?

Moody Black, Luxe Brass

That arched swag of evergreen over the mirror—dramatic, right?! The paneled charcoal walls and brass sconces bring the glam, while a plaid floor grounds the whole scene. A sculptural wood tree keeps it artful, not fussy.

Woodland Minimal Soak

Clean lines, herringbone floors, and a single mini tree on the caddy—calm, right?! The forest art + potted olive instantly turns the tub zone into a quiet glade (no ornaments needed). That gnome bath mat is the wink that says, “yes, we’re still festive.”

Peppermint Mint Vanity (So Merry!)

Peppermint swirls in a pitcher, a cozy candle, and that minty vanity—sweet, right?! The mitten rug + red reindeer towel draped over the vintage stool bring the pops of cheer (without clutter). Marble top, hex tile, and twin mirrors keep it fresh/spa-like while the greens say “HELLO HOLIDAYS.” Who knew CHRISTMAS BATHROOM DECOR could feel this playful and polished?!

Snowy Tree Wonderland

Flocked evergreens flank the tub like a tiny alpine grove, while a wreath with a plaid bow crowns the window—TA-DA. Candle “lanterns,” frosted gifts, and even a little Santa scene make every soak feel like story time…in a snow globe.

Countertop Noel Vignette

One big, drapey branch arrangement + matte black reindeer + a brass tree—SO simple / SO good. Add a softly glowing candle and the whole vanity whispers hygge (can you hear it?!).

Nordic Neutral Powder

Floating wood shelves, a teeny tree, and black accents keep things crisp but warm. The soft glow from the candle reflects in that rounded mirror—instant cozy for guests (and for you).

Plaid Hotel Spa Night

Soft checks on the walls, plush rug underfoot, and a tub tray lined with candles—RELAX MODE: ON. A petite tree by the sink and a ribboned towel are the only extras you need…because subtle can still sparkle!!

Frosted Forest Corner

Two slim, snow-kissed trees stand guard by the clawfoot while a rustic ladder holds fresh linens. Marble + wood + winter branches = polished but not precious (the perfect balance).

Scandi Chalet Glow

Warm wood walls, marble splash, and a window wrapped in twinkle garland—cozy cabin energy, achieved. A single snowy tree and a cedar bath caddy keep the scene airy…who’s ready for a pine-scented soak?

Bows & Brass Classic

Deep wine ribbons tied to the sconces—SMALL move, BIG impact. Layer in sculptural white trees, ribbed candles, and that black stone top for contrast. Old-world mirror, modern hardware—chef’s kiss.

Greens Over Gold

Evergreen swags hang from the light bar (so charming!), echoing the feathery fronds in the stoneware vase. Brass frames, warm woods, and waffle towels bring texture…while mini ceramic houses add just a touch of whimsy. Effortless, elevated, merry—check, check, CHECK.

Red Truck Cheer Station

Retro pickup theme on the shower curtain + tiny trucks cruising the counter = instant JOY. Rolled red/green hand towels stacked on the wall feel like candy canes in disguise (practical and adorable). A wreath cameo in the mirror and a candle by the sink finish the vibe—nostalgia on full blast!!

Candlelit Cottage Bath

Soft paneling, herringbone floors, and those trio pendant lights—can you say “storybook soak”? A ribboned evergreen swag over the botanical art adds just the right whisper of holiday magic (no clutter, just charm). The wood bath caddy with pinecones, matches, and a glowing candle turns the tub into a spa…/but cozier/. Tiny tree on the sill = the sweetest mic-drop.
