5 Kid-Friendly Bathroom Design Ideas

It can be hard to restore and improve a house. You need to focus on reflecting your own personality in the completed project while making sure it is user friendly. This is compounded when you have children, they need to feel comfortable as well. A bathroom is a place that is often overlooked as children run in and out. But, by introducing kid-friendly bathroom design ideas you’ll help your children to enjoy the experience.

This will make them more attentive and reduce the risk of putting the wrong things down the drains, (resulting in blockages and the need for a drain camera), as well as more attentive to matters of hygiene.

Dual Sinks

Children often have an issue with comfortably reaching sinks in bathrooms. This may result in them being less attentive to washing hands and cleaning their teeth. However, if you add dual sinks and set one at a lower height, you’ll be making the space exclusively for them. 

That’s a definite plus for them.

Personalized Effects

Another nice touch is to add wooden boxes to the walls. These can be personalized with the name of each of your children and provide them with a space to keep their toothbrush and other bathroom supplies. These can be set at a height that suits your child. It’s much easier for them to get excited about bathroom routines if they feel like they’re in control of them. 

Stools

You can purchase stools in a variety of colors that will complement your bathroom and give your child something to stand on. This is an effective way of giving them the height they need to use the facilities properly.

It’s especially good if the space in your bathroom is not sufficient to allow double sinks. Your child can come to the sink instead of dropping the sink to them.

A stool can also allow you to create standard height double sinks, that’s simply a stylish touch.

Sign Art

Children are great at forgetting to wash their hands. You can create colorful signs that integrate with the bathroom décor and remind your children of the importance of doing a specific task, such as washing their hands.

It can also be a great way to brighten people’s day by changing the message or even drawing a picture on it. If you encourage every family member to give it a go you’ll find it improves the look, feel, and appeal of your bathroom. 

Shower Color

When you have kids its handy to have a bath. But, that may mean you don’t have enough room for a separate shower cubicle. You can get around this by adding a shower over the bath. Best of all this gives you the opportunity to add a colorful, child-friendly, shower curtain. 

It will make the bathroom seem brighter and more fun, encouraging your child to take a shower or bath. At the same time it actually improves the feel and look of the room.
