I love everything fall, so I've been looking for ways to bring it into every room in my house. Feel the same way? You'll be pleased to know there are even ways you can incorporate it into your bathroom.
I've asked interior designers for their favorite ways to do this, and I'm in love with their suggestions. Incorporating earthy colors and textures, seasonal touches, and fresh elements are just some of their top tips.
If you're looking for fall home decor ideas and want to go big on the season in your bathroom, there are so many fun ways to do just that.
1. Bring in fall colors
Color plays a crucial role in setting the mood for fall, so it makes sense to incorporate these into your bathroom ideas for this season.
“Introducing autumn hues through accessories like towels, rugs, and shower curtains can dramatically transform the bathroom's ambiance,” explains Ryan Fitzgerald, design expert and owner of Raleigh Realty.
“Rich colors such as burgundy, forest green, or warm gold can enhance the fall vibe without requiring a complete overhaul of your decor,” he adds.
If you’re in love with these hues, you can also consider painting or tiling your bathroom with these shades, as well as choosing hardware like faucets and handles in them.
2. Add cozy candles
Dreamy home fragrances and soft lighting are powerful tools for creating a seasonal atmosphere.
“Candles in fall scents like vanilla and cinnamon can evoke the essence of autumn, while metallic accents like copper or gold candlesticks bring a modern touch to the decor,” says Ryan.
He adds that varying the heights of candle holders can create an interesting visual effect.

I'm picturing pouring a bubble bath, making a hot chocolate, and lighting this delicious candle for the coziest fall relaxation session. It has yummy notes of cinnamon, pumpkin, clove and vanilla, which sound like a gorgeous combination.
3. Try adding wooden textures
As well as bringing in earthy colors, you can also bring in warm textures to create a rustic feel that’s.
“When it comes to fall bathroom decor, it's all about embracing natural textures to create a cozy atmosphere,” says Tommy Mello, design expert and founder of A1 Garage Door Service.
He continues, “I recommend incorporating wooden accents like trays, shelves, or even a wooden-framed mirror.”
I really love this idea because not only will wood work for fall, but it’s also versatile enough to have in your bathroom at all times of the year. For example, the Noble House Koda Modern Round Mirror from Walmart is modern and is hand-crafted.
4. Go for seasonal touches
There are so many naturally beautiful elements that come to life in fall, which you can celebrate by bringing them into your bathroom.
“One of the simplest ways to achieve this is by incorporating pumpkins and gourds into your bathroom design,” says Ryan.
These quintessential fall fruits can be placed on countertops or shelves, adding a touch of seasonal charm.
For a more subtle approach, he suggests hanging a garland made of fall leaves and acorns on a window curtain rod.

This is an easy, subtle way to bring fall motifs into your bathroom. Amazon reviewers say that they’re super simple to install and that they get lots of compliments from guests when they spot them hanging from their shower curtains.
5. Finish with fresh flowers
You can compliment seasonal touches with fresh flowers, in order to bring life and add home fragrance.
“Arranging autumn flowers like sunflowers or marigolds in a vase brings a vibrant, seasonal touch to the space,” says Ryan.
Place these in colorful glass vases in fall colors like orange, purple, and yellow to really make them pop. I think this adorable Harvest Glass Bud Vase from Anthropologie, which is shaped like a little onion, would be perfect for this.
When styling your fall bathroom decor, remember that balance is key. Make sure to group items in odd numbers for visual appeal, mix textures to add depth, and avoid overcrowding surfaces.
“By thoughtfully incorporating these elements, you can transform your bathroom into a cozy autumn retreat that reflects the warmth and beauty of the season,” Ryan finishes by saying.
Want to carry on sprinkling the season into your home? I also love fall kitchen ideas and fall living room ideas, which are so sweet and snug.
