Halloween is that time of the year when surprising people with crazy, haunting decorations and foods is totally acceptable. You must decorate every space of your home including the bathroom with some type of Halloween-themed decoration ideas to make the most of this spookiest day.
Generally, people overlook the bathroom when readying their home for October 31. The bathroom is a space where you should spend most of your time decorating as guests least expect spiders, skeletons, and bloodstains to creep out of the restroom.
You can recreate a bone-chilling murder scene with blood in the bathtub and shower cabinet, or decorate with Halloween-themed curtains and towels – there are plenty of options. We have listed a few Halloween bathroom decoration ideas to inspire you.

Create Scary Murder Scene in Bathroom
Create a murder scene from one of your favorite horror movies. The effect you choose for the scene can vary according to your preference, but there are a few props and ideas you can use in all conditions.
You can stain the shower curtain in blood (use red dye or food color to mimic blood) or take a white bedsheet stained in red color and hang it in the shower area. Next, you can add some red handprints to the bedsheet or curtain to intensify the visuals.
To achieve a fiercer effect, splash the mirror, washbasin, walls, and toilet seat with red stains, and have footprints leading from the door to the shower area. Of course, you can add a monster peeking from behind the curtain, spiders dangling from the ceiling, or skeletons using the commode or leaning against the walls.

Amaze Guests With a Witch-Themed Bathroom
If you don’t want to mess up your bathroom by splashing red color all over, you can try decorating it in a witch theme. For this, you can have vintage stands with lighted black candles and house plants laid out to create a witchcraft scene.
Let a witch hat float on water in a bathtub, place witch potion bottles with spooky labels near the washbasin, or have low-wattage light strings dangle over or around the mirror to create a gloomy effect.
