5 Bluey Bathroom Decor Ideas You’ll Love: Personal tips from a designer’s desk to spice up your Bluey-themed bathroom

One time, a client asked me to design a bathroom inspired entirely by the kids’ show *Bluey*. At first, I thought it’d be just a couple of decals and maybe a themed shower curtain—but oh boy, it became a full-blown creative challenge. That project taught me that small spaces, like bathrooms, are the perfect canvas for big personalities. Today, I’m sharing five Bluey bathroom decor ideas drawn from my own real-life design stories.

1. Playful Wall Murals

Nothing brings a Bluey theme to life faster than a gorgeous wall mural of the characters or backyard scenes. I once painted an oversized scene behind a vanity, and the kids acted like it was their own clubhouse. If you’re nervous about painting directly on the wall, peel-and-stick murals are a forgiving option. I used bathroom design tool templates to test color balance before committing.

2. Themed Shower Curtains & Towels

This is the easiest way to layer in a theme without major renovations. Go for bright blues, sandy yellows, and playful paw prints. The downside? Fabric fades quicker in humid environments, so choose high-quality polyester blends. Bonus tip: mix solid colors with character prints so it’s not overwhelming.

3. Character Storage Baskets

Bathrooms always need storage, so why not sneak in soft-sided baskets decorated with Bluey’s friends? In one remodel, we used baskets for towels and kids’ bath toys. They were not only functional but also made cleanup a game. You can preview basket placement using a room planner to avoid cluttered corners.

4. Coastal Color Palette

Bluey’s world often has a sunny, beachy vibe, so I mix pale blues, sandy beiges, and white to mimic that feel. One family was amazed how much brighter their tiny bathroom looked after a repaint. Keep in mind, though, pale colors might show water stains more easily—so wipe down splashes promptly.

5. Whimsical Lighting Fixtures

Lighting gets overlooked in themed bathrooms, but it’s a game changer. We once installed a little pendant light with a shade printed in a Bluey garden motif—soft, warm, and magical for bedtime baths. Before buying, I always run shapes and sizes through a free floor plan creator to make sure the scale fits just right.
