The Funniest Bathrooms on Houzz

I know it’s immature, but bathroom humor will never stop cracking me up. I keep a stack of funny books in my guest bath, including My Life in High Heels, by Loni Anderson; a vintage copy of Barbara Walters’ How to Talk to Practically Anyone About Practically Anything; and What’s Your Poo Telling You? People act appalled by the last one, then they emerge from the bathroom laughing about a particular chapter. I always get a kick out of the funny things people do with their bathroom decor on Houzz, and I’ve been collecting photos of them for a while. Here’s a peek at some of the most lighthearted loos around.

Toilet paper holders are an easy way to loosen up a bathroom look. This bathroom attendant may be a little too close for comfort, but he’s definitely a conversation starter.

Images of old pinup girl covers take the girly-magazine joke out of hiding and put it on the walls.


A few of the design moves in this ideabook are disconcerting, to say the least. I’m not so sure how I’d feel about Einstein’s looking at me like that, but it’s definitely amusing.


The thought of all these elegant Fornasetti ladies watching someone do his or her business is also disconcerting, which is what makes this bathroom so interesting. The close-up of the eye is like a big, round wallpaper peephole.


Artwork is a great way to pull a little prank in the powder room. This foreboding sign teases users in two different languages.


I don’t think I’ve ever written an ideabook about a bathroom that generated more comments than this one, where the toilet appears to be sitting in the middle of a New York City subway platform.


This bathroom screams “I’m addicted to Costco!” I don’t think this many rolls would even fit in my car, and definitely not in my linen closet.





These trophies poke fun at the typical animal-head-over-the-fireplace idea; they are very obviously faux, and they are mounted proudly over the commode. They must be quite a surprise to anyone visiting this W.C. for the first time.


This bathroom is inspired by the ultimate rustic powder room — the outhouse. The guard bear at the entrance shows us this homeowner’s sense of humor.

A colorful sink is a playful reminder to have good hygiene.


A bathroom bench is convenient; a bathroom settee is brilliant.


I’ve really never understood why people feel the need to vandalize public bathroom stalls (and have you ever noticed they are terrible at spelling and grammar?). However, this chalkboard paint is a brilliant twist on the idea. I don’t know if I could resist scrawling a good old “8675309” in here.

This lighthearted “library” loo is very cheerful. My only suggestion is that the owner adds a ghostwritten Loni Anderson memoir. There’s a lot of good stuff about WKRP in Cincinnati and Anderson’s friendship with Ricardo Montalban in there, as well as photographs, the most important aspect in any ghostwritten celebrity memoir.
