Yes, I think it's weird. I am not sure why but I just don't think photos belong in a bathroom. It is just odd to me. I don't think I've actually ever been in a bathroom with photos in itChat Icon

A general portrait yes odd, a bathroom themed photo perfectly fine. I know several instances a child playing with bubbles or bathroom toys spread out in the tub with just a hint of a child OR a child on the potting training toilet photos on the wall. Think it's kinda funny.

Yes, odd. I can think of many more appropriate places for a child's picture!

If it was one of them in the tub or something it would be ok. I'm not big on bathroom pics though.

My initial reaction was .. SO weird. BUt after reading the descriptions of the photos some of the posters use for their bathroom.. totally makes sense and sounds cute..



I agree. I think bathroom themed pics actually sounds adorable. I probably wouldn't blow up DS school pic and put it in the bathroom though. Chat Icon



All of this!

We have a window with a ledge above our toilet in our half bath. Its a beach themed bathroom so before kids I had put cute beachy frames on the ledge with photos of DH and I at the beach, me and my mom at the beach, etc. and thought nothing of it. Until one night DH and friends were drinking (and hence peeing a lot) and someone commented how it is awkward to pee while staring at my bare chested husband at the beach. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I never thought of it that way before!!! And felt so dumb.

As an aside- someone told me it is bad feng shui to have photos in the bathroom.

Um..... yes.

The bathroom isn't a place for family pics, IMO . Chat Icon

I agree. I actually always wanted to get a cute bathroom picture of my kids (cute bubble bath pic or something - no nudes or anything lol) and have it printed it black and white and hang it up in my bathroom. Clearly it's been way down on my to do list since I haven't done it yet. I would hang it up on the wall next to the tub, not over the toilet. I have a shelf over my toilet anyway Chat Icon

I would not have a portrait or let's say my wedding picture in there though Chat Icon. Or any random picture of my kids for that matter.

I have a wedding picture above the toilet. I don't think it's weird.

I don't have any photos in bathrooms but a kid tub picture or the one with the TP unrolled would probably be cute.

So the masses seem to think it's weird, guess that means my husband wins this one.

And fyi, it's a fun, bathroom-appropriate photo (in my opinion, anyway)—definitely not a formal portrait or school picture! I think it looks fantastic in our beautiful bathroom. The big wall above the toilet needs something and I always prefer to hang photos rather than generic artwork. I thought nothing of it until my laid back husband looked at me like I was insane and said no way!

I thought he was way over thinking it, but I don't stand when I pee, so I guess from a man's perspective, it's different.

I think its weird to have pics in the bathroom period but thats just my taste.

I will admit some of the pics described on here sound adorable.

Yes, I think a photo of people is weird in any bathroom. Not in a 'you're a deranged freak' sorta way, but I would say it's kinda odd. Chat Icon

Now art hanging in a bathroom is not weird at all and I have vintage prints hanging in one of my bathrooms.

Yes very. For me personally I don't hang any pics of people in my bathroom at all.
