1. Swap The Towels With New Ones In The Fall Color Palette
You can dress the bathroom for fall by changing the fabric items with others in the fall color palette.
If you are accustomed to using a rug or carpet in a dry area, opt for a new one in earthy tones made from natural materials. Swap the towels for new ones in brown, orange, red or yellow.
2. Place A Pumpkin In A Vivid Place In The Bathroom
Whether a small or a large bathroom, you should easily find a place for a pumpkin to add to the existing decor to hint at the autumn theme.
That can be the vanity, an open shelf or even the floor next to the tub.
3. Decorate The Toilet
The small corner of the toilet is already dressed for autumn in a simple and charming way. The rug leading to it is in the fall color palette.
The fresh towels are placed on the cover in a pile that is topped with a small orange pumpkin.
4. Repurpose A Pumpkin
If you already have a tray with decorations on the vanity, you can give it a quick makeover in the autumn theme. Replace the vase with summer flowers with a real or plastic pumpkin with a hole that will be repurposed into a bouquet holder.
If there are mums in your garden, gather a few and place them into the pumpkin. Twigs with autumn leaves are also visually attractive and add a natural fall aesthetic.
5. Decorate The Nearest Furniture
Embrace the fall aesthetic in your bathroom with simple decor pieces that explicitly state “fall”.
There is no more famous symbol of fall than the pumpkin, so adding it to the top of the nearest furniture to the walk-in shower will instantly set the seasonal theme.
6. Add A Fall Centerpiece To The Vanity
7. Decorate With A Plaid Blanket
Standard decor pieces like throw blankets and pillows can also be used in the bathroom. Although they are not a traditional part of its decor, the unexpected place will instantly draw attention.
To set them into the bathroom, use a rattan basket or a ladder. The pattern is also important for bringing the desired theme. For fall decor, opt for a plaid blanket in rich fall colors.
8. Decorate With Garlands
A wonderful idea for setting the autumn theme in the bathroom is to use the vertical space thoughtfully. Garlands with leaves or even banners with inscriptions can be easily hung on the walls.
If there is a wall shelf and a curtain rod, they can support the garlands. If there aren’t any existing supports, use temporary hooks with sticking plasters.
9. Decorate The Shelf
The open shelf in the bathroom is the best place to create a lovely fall setup. You can add scented candles, pumpkins of different textures, towels in the fall color palette and even small fall bouquets.
To keep the interior of the space united, add more small fall decorations to the vanity.
10. Make It Spooky
The bathroom can be a fun place during autumn when decorated in a Halloween theme. Anything you would use in the living room or the entryway can also be brought to the bathroom.
Garlands with bats, witch hats or skulls can surround the mirror of the vanity. If there is enough free counter space, you can add a spooky sign. Pumpkins of different sizes and textures can find a place on the floor around the toilet or the tub, or on a tray on a floating shelf.
11. Swap The Floormat
An inspiring, easy and effective way for setting the fall theme in the bathroom is represented here. Go to the Dollar Store or another place with home decorations and get a floor mat in a fall theme.
Place it next to the tub, in front of the vanity or near the toilet to make the bathroom fall-friendly.
12. Add A Wreath From Autumn Leaves
Set the fall mood in the bathroom with a gorgeous handmade wreath from colorful leaves. The color palette of autumn is so warm and inviting that weaving the leaves into a wreath shape will instantly make the space more welcoming.
Wondering where to hang the wreath? If there is a window, hang it on its knob. If not, you can add it to the vanity mirror or even to the knobs of a cabinet.
13. Decorate With Lanterns
The flickering glow of candles instantly whispers that the cold weather has come. Use this motif to set the fall mood in the bathroom and to make its ambiance warmer.
You can choose between LED or real candles or mix them both. Lanterns are also a good idea as they can be placed everywhere around the bathroom.
14. Change The Shower Curtain
Another easy and inexpensive way to make the bathroom autumn-inspired is to swap out the old shower curtain for a new one in a fall theme.
There are plenty of models on the Internet, so you can easily find the one that matches the existing style of the space and that coordinates with the interior of the room.
15. Add Orange Accents
There is no need to make any drastic changes to the bathroom to set it in a fall mood. Instead, use a bold color, associated with it, to create interest.
The saturated orange hue “screams” autumn, whether used with traditional autumn symbols like pumpkins and leaves or not.
16. Add A Basket With A Throw Pillow
If you use a basket organizer in the bathroom, it can quickly be repurposed into a fall decorations holder.
Clear its top level and fill it with a throw blanket and a pillow. It would be perfect if these are in the fall color palette or have inscriptions that remind us of autumn.
17. Decorate With Dry Flowers
Bring the outdoors in! This is a decor rule that applies to all seasonal decorations and all interior spaces. Translating this sentence into the “autumn language” would mean to decorate with dry blooms and plants.
Place them into vases and decorate around the bathroom.
18. Add A Fun Fall Detail
The pumpkin pickup truck is a fun motif of the fall season. We have seen it as a theme of sign art but never as a pattern of a shower curtain.
So why not turn the bathroom into a lively and autumn-friendly space with a new shower curtain?
19. Go For A Sign
Another easy, inexpensive and cute way to decorate the bathroom for fall is to add a sign to the wall in that theme. You can choose from a wide variety of personalized and handmade signs or you can even make your own.
The topics you can choose from are fall, Thanksgiving and Halloween.
20. Decorate With Faux Leaf Twigs
The white ambiance of this elegant farmhouse bathroom lets the simple fall decorations stand out. They are represented by a bouquet of faux leaf twigs, a scented candle and a glass pumpkin.
Sometimes, you don’t need something big to make an impact. Smaller decorations placed in the right spot can do a transformation to the interior.
21. Replace The Candles With Pumpkins
In this vintage bathroom, there is not much work required to set the autumn mood. All the homeowner has done is replace the candles of the candlesticks with tiny pumpkins.
I bet that you can even find orange candles in a pumpkin shape which is even better.
22. Pumpkins Are Always A Good Idea
If you need to dress the bathroom quickly in a fall theme, simply add small pumpkins around it. You can use real ones or go for plastic or fabric items. Place them on the shelf, on the vanity, over the toilet paper pile, on the toilet tank.
