5 Spooky Halloween Bathroom Decor Ideas That Feel Eerily Chic

Ready to turn your bathroom into a spine-tingling showpiece? I’ve pulled together five complete looks that go beyond basic cobwebs and plastic pumpkins. Each one feels curated, polished, and totally photo-ready—like walking into a little haunted world.

1. Gothic Manor Powder Room

Wide shot — Gothic Manor Powder Room: A moody, photorealistic bathroom with deep midnight navy walls, an ornate black-framed mirror above a vintage vanity, drip-style black taper candles flickering in candle sconces casting a soft, eerie glow. A white clawfoot tub with black bath tray holds a skeletal hand soap dispenser and blood-red towels folded nearby. Sheer black window curtain creates a shadowy, moonlit vibe. Accents include antique-style gold frames on the wall, a raven figurine on the vanity, oil-rubbed bronze faucets, and a velvet bath mat with lace hand towels. Matte metal finishes throughout, subtle dry floral arrangement of black eucalyptus, burgundy roses, and wispy branches in a dark vase. Shot from a corner angle to capture tub, mirror, and window.

This look is all about moody romance—think haunted castle meets luxury spa. Start with a deep, inky wall color like charcoal, oxblood, or midnight navy. Add a dramatic black-framed mirror with ornate curves and let drip-style taper candles flicker on the vanity.

Layer in Victorian details: a clawfoot tub with a black bath tray, oil-rubbed bronze faucets, and plush, blood-red towels. Drape a sheer black curtain over the window for that shadowy, moonlit vibe.

Key accents: Antique-style gold frames, raven figurines, skeletal hand soap dispenser
Textures: Velvet bath mat, lace hand towels, matte metals
Lighting: Candle sconces or warm Edison bulbs for a soft, eerie glow

Finish with a subtle dry floral arrangement—black eucalyptus, burgundy roses, and wispy branches. It feels luxurious yet perfectly haunted.

2. Witchy Apothecary Spa

Medium shot — Witchy Apothecary Spa: A serene, neutral bathroom with mushroom beige walls and raw wood open shelves lined with labeled apothecary bottles, jars of faux “eye of newt,” and tied herb bundles. A round matte-black mirror hangs above a stone soap dish and linen shower curtain. On the tub, a wooden bath caddy holds an amber glass dispenser set, a black soap bar, sage smudge sticks, and a small spell book. A tiny cauldron planter with trailing pothos sits on the counter. Earthy greens, smoky blacks, and natural wood palette, with aromas implied by clove, cedar, and rosemary props. Soft, warm ambient lighting for a calming, mystical vibe, straight-on perspective.

Imagine stepping into a potion maker’s private retreat. Keep the walls neutral—mushroom beige or warm greige—so all the witchy details pop. Line open shelves with labeled apothecary bottles, jars of faux “eye of newt,” and bundles of tied herbs.

Swap your usual bath products for amber glass dispensers and add a wooden bath caddy with a black soap bar, sage smudge sticks, and a little spell book. Hang a round, matte-black mirror and a few botanical prints with Latin names.

Color palette: Earthy greens, smoky blacks, natural wood
Materials: Raw wood shelves, stone soap dishes, linen shower curtain
Aromas: Clove, cedar, and rosemary for the full apothecary effect

For a final flourish, tuck a small cauldron planter on the counter with trailing pothos. It’s mystical, calming, and just the right amount of spooky.

3. Black-and-White Haunted Hotel

Crisp, graphic, and a little Hitchcock. Start with a black-and-white palette—checkered floor mat, striped hand towels, and a white shower curtain with a bold black border. Add a vintage “Hotel Bath” sign over the door for that old-world vibe.

Keep the vanity modern with glossy black accents: a soap pump, toothbrush holder, and a tray corralled together. Then bring in eerie details—silhouette portraits on the wall, a framed “Do Not Disturb (the Dead)” tag, and a subtle crow decal perched on the sconce.

Statement piece: Black clawfoot tub feet or a black toilet seat for contrast
Textures: Polished chrome, crisp cotton, glossy ceramic
Lighting: Cooler white bulbs for that lobby feel, dimmer for drama

Top it off with a bowl of black soap “stones” and a vase of white mums. It’s chic, clean, and delightfully unsettling—like a stylish suite with a ghostly past.

4. Campy Creature Feature

Medium shot — Campy Creature Feature: A playful, retro monster-movie bathroom with white walls punched up by lime green, electric purple, and acid orange accents. A classic horror poster print shower curtain (stylized B-movie collage) is the focal point. The sink area features slime-green hand soap, fang-shaped toothbrush holders, and a tiny rubber bat perched on the faucet. A shaggy purple bath mat pops on the floor; glow-in-the-dark wall stars pepper the walls. Decor hits include a Frankenstein switch plate, eyeball bath bombs in a neon acrylic tray, and comic-style wall decals. Bright, even lighting with a fun midnight-movie vibe, shot from a corner angle to show sink and curtain.

Go playful and punchy with a retro monster-movie mood. Think lime green, electric purple, and acid orange accents against white walls. Swap your shower curtain for a classic horror poster print—Dracula, The Mummy, or a stylized B-movie collage.

Dress the sink with slime-green hand soap, fang-shaped toothbrush holders, and a tiny rubber bat perched on the faucet. Add a shaggy purple bath mat and glow-in-the-dark wall stars for that cheeky, midnight-movie glow.

Decor hits: Frankenstein switch plate, eyeball bath bombs, comic-style wall decals
Storage: Metal locker basket for towels, neon acrylic tray for products
Soundtrack: Tiny Bluetooth speaker looping spooky theremin vibes

This one is perfect for guest baths and family spaces—high energy, high color, and totally Halloween without taking itself too seriously.

5. Minimalist Tombstone Luxe

Overhead detail shot — Minimalist Tombstone Luxe: A restrained, modern arrangement on a matte black vanity: a small slate “tombstone” plaque leaning with simple engraving vibe, thin black taper candles, an obsidian-look soap dish, and ceramic canisters labeled “Tonics” and “Salts” in clean sans-serif. Soft gray color palette with ash, bone white, graphite accents; textures include honed stone and smooth ceramic. In soft focus below, a black pebble bath mat hints at the floor; nearby elements suggest a stone-textured shower curtain and concrete-look stool. Soft, diffused lighting for an elegant, chilling minimal mood.

If you love quiet, modern spaces, this is your eerie sweet spot. Keep everything sleek and restrained with soft gray walls, a stone-textured shower curtain, and matte-black hardware. The magic comes from sculptural shapes and subtle nods to the graveyard.

Bring in a concrete-look stool beside the tub, a black pebble bath mat, and ceramic canisters labeled with clean sans-serif “Tonics” and “Salts.” On the wall, hang one large black-and-white moon photo for mood.

Palette: Ash gray, bone white, graphite, matte black
Details: Thin black taper candles, obsidian-look soap dish, dried lunaria stems
Texture play: Honed stone, smooth ceramic, soft Turkish cotton

For a whisper of Halloween, lean a small slate “tombstone” plaque on the vanity with a simple engraving vibe (even a chalkboard works). It’s elegant, restrained, and chilling in the best minimalist way.

Whichever direction you choose, the trick is layering: anchor with a clear color palette, choose a few bold hero pieces, then sprinkle in creepy details that feel intentional. Your bathroom will look like it’s hosting a haunted soirée—no jump scares required.
