I received samples to facilitate this post on guest bathroom ideas. No additional compensation was received and all thoughts and words are my own.
House guests are definitely more common during the holidays. Whether it’s Thanksgiving or Christmas or the time in between, family and friends will be coming from far and wide to spend time together. It’s always nice to make guests as comfortable as possible, but you definitely don’t want to break the bank.
One of the easiest places to make an impact is the guest bathroom. It’s a small space so a few small changes can make a big impact. Here are five holiday decorating ideas for a comfortable, inviting guest space.
5 Guest Bathroom Ideas
- Bath & Hand Towels – There’s nothing nicer than wrapping yourself in a thick, plush towel after a shower. Find a cute holiday-themed hand towel and then pick up bath towels in complimentary shades. Very festive yet still classy.
- Provide Storage – Make guests feel less like guests by providing them with some storage. Clear off a shelf, empty the shower rack, whatever you can do to give them a place to set their own items and not have to live out of their suitcase.
- Basket of Toiletries – Your guests may have forgotten or not have had room for every little thing. A basket with toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, fresh soap, and a flashlight for getting around in the dark will be appreciated.
- Accessories and Extras – If you don’t already have one, consider hanging a hook on the back of the bathroom door for guests to hang a robe or towel. Make sure there are extra tissues and rolls of toilet tissue under the sink or someplace accessible for your guests.
- Holiday Scents – Whether it’s a pumpkin pie melt in your tart warmer for Thanksgiving or a Christmas tree-scented spray for Christmas, make guests feel at home with a collection of holiday scents.
Some of my favorite holiday scents this year are available from Glade. For Christmas, I especially love the Frosted Berry Kiss spray. It smells and looks very festive! Other limited edition seasonal scents include Apple Cinnamon Cheer, Sparkling Spruce, and Pure Vanilla Joy.
For Thanksgiving I’ll be using the new Wax Melts. I plan to use scents like Apple Cinnamon and Cashmere Woods to invoke the feelings of fall. And the new Wax Melts Warmer has kind of a rustic fall feel to it, also, that I think will be perfect.

I love using the Glade Plug-Ins in my house! What great ideas for decorating. We are redoing our basement bathroom so this is great!
I never thought that towel could help us to give a holiday or festival theme. Thanks for giving such a unique idea.
Great tips! I love adding holiday touches to my guest bathroom – including a fun holiday scent.
These are some great tips. It’s nice to have both a holiday look AND smell in the bathroom!
Holiday scents is a great idea! Many times it is all I can do to get the bathroom clean when guests are coming, but I should probably make more effort to do something extra like this.
Great tips!! I always break out my Christmas Guest Towels during the holidays. Those GLADE scents sound intriguing too!
a great smell in the bathroom is always an improvement, I love Glade holiday scents too.
