12 Cute Ways to Decorate Your Toilet Tank

Here are 12 cute toilet tank decor ideas for your bathroom. 

The bathroom is probably one of the most overlooked places for adding pieces of home decor. And even in a decorated bathroom, the toilet tank would most likely be rejected. Generally, toilet tanks are just used to place toilet paper because it’s the most obvious choice, and it’s convenient. And, yes, although I can admit that it’s quite unusual to decorate the back of your toilet, this space has so much potential to transform your bathroom decor and make it look even prettier!

12 Cute Toilet Tank Decor Ideas 

1. Storage Basket

Adding a basket on top of your toilet tank not only makes for great bathroom storage (especially for your toilet paper), but it also makes for a pretty decorative piece on its own if you choose a pretty one! Go for a wicker basket or a wired basket with wooden handles as a versatile storage decor choice for your toilet tank! 

2. Reed Diffusers 

With the amount of business people do in the toilet, it only makes sense to keep your toilet smelling nice and fresh every time someone enters. Reed diffusers are a great way to do this, plus they make for a lovely decorative piece on your toilet tank. They always give luxury hotel bathroom vibes! 

3. Alarm Clock

Having an alarm clock as a decorative piece for a toilet tank isn’t something you’d usually see, but I think it’s pretty cute! Granted, you probably won’t need to use the alarm element of the clock, but you definitely could find the telling the time aspect of the clock very useful! 

Plus, you don’t always have to go for a standard, boring alarm clock. There are so many funky clock designs out there that you can choose to add some fun to your bathroom decor!

4. Succulent Plant

Add some nature to your bathroom by placing a succulent plant on your toilet tank. Whether you’re an avid plant mom who likes to have a real plant or someone who knows they’re better off having an artificial plant, adding a piece of greenery to your toilet tank will add a nice modern touch to your bathroom decor! 

5. Artificial Plant Pieces

If you like the idea of adding a succulent plant to your toilet tank, but you prefer to have a range of different types of succulent plant pieces, then you’ll love this toilet tank decor idea! Place a tray on top of your toilet tank and add a pack of plant pieces to it. Not only will this add some greenery to your bathroom decor, but it will also add a kaleidoscope of floral colors, brightening up the bathroom even more!

6. Decor Sign 

Having a decorative board or framed art is always a nice way to add some personality to your bathroom decor! There are so many different kinds of boards and framed quotes you can find to add to your toilet tank.

If you’re a live, laugh, love gal, you could go for an inspirational quote on a frame. Or if you want to add some humor, go for a punny quote or a funny piece of artwork. Whatever your vibe, there’s no doubt that you’ll find a decor sign for your toilet tank that will match your bathroom’s aesthetic! 

7. Funny Wooden Toilet Paper Storage Box 

There’s never a better way to add humor to your home decor than to your bathroom, specifically on your toilet tank! And having a wooden toilet paper storage box featuring a funny sign or slogan is the perfect way to do this! This kind of toilet tank decor will always make me laugh out loud, and I’m certain it’ll make you and your guests laugh out loud too! 

8. Candles

Candles are the kind of decor that can make any room look good and smell good! So, of course, there’s always the option to add a candle to your toilet tank decor! It gives chic vibes, and when it’s lit up, the scent will make your bathroom smell luscious! 

9. Lamp

Warm lighting from a lamp will add a chill, moody ambience to your bathroom. And if you want to add a lamp to your toilet tank decor, I’d highly recommend a cordless lamp to avoid any hassle with finding a socket to plug your lamp into.

10. Wooden Bead Garland

To add a rustic vibe to your bathroom, add a wooden bead garland to your toilet tank! The best way to do this is to lay it across a storage piece, whether it’s a basket or a wooden box. This way, it won’t need to be bunched up, and there’s less chance of it falling on the floor all the time.

11. Matchboxes

A bowl of matchboxes is definitely an unusual piece of decor to add to a toilet tank, but it’s so cool because it adds a vintage feel to your bathroom decor! If you’re looking for a unique toilet tank decor idea, a bowl of empty vintage-style matchboxes is definitely worth considering! 

12. Figurines 

Figurines are so versatile that they will perfectly match any piece of decor for any occasion – including a toilet tank. I love how this toilet tank decor includes sea-related figurines that match the vibe and context of the bathroom!
