How To Design A Family Friendly Bathroom

How to Design a Family Friendly

The trick to designing a family friendly bathroom is finding the middle ground between what the kids will like and what you'll like. After all, everyone uses the bathroom and there's really no reason it shouldn't be an enjoyable experience for every member of the family.

So if you're after your bathroom being relaxing for the adults and fun for the children, here are a few tips to consider when choosing the design.

Think About Different Storage

Kids love bath time when there's a few toys involved. But what do you do with all these goodies when your little one is finished in the tub? Leaving them lying around won't create a relaxing environment for adults nor will it keep the place looking particularly tidy. Consider investing in plenty of storage space to tuck away toys after bath time is over.

Don't Be Afraid To Leave Your Comfort Zone

It can be very tempting to go with colours like beige and eggshell when designing your bathroom. But don't forget,
this won't exactly make the room an inviting place for children. Try using colours like blue or turquoise that are a bit more vibrant. It will make kids enjoy the bathroom even more, while at the same time creating a tranquil environment for adults.

play it safe

There's nothing a parent wants more than to keep their child safe. And unfortunately, a bathroom can be home to
several harmful hazards if not designed with kids in mind. Give yourself some peace of mind by having a step in the bathroom. This will mean that your precious offspring won't put themselves in harm's way when something isn't in their reach. There are specially designed bathroom steps that will boost your child to the height of the sink so they can comfortably use the taps. Also, in terms of bathroom taps, choose taps that clearly outline which one is hot and which one is cold. This will prevent any serious accidents from occurring.

go with shower wall

Shower panels and boards are an absolute lifesaver for parents. As everyone knows, kids are prone to getting a little carried away when using the bath. This might mean splashing around and putting their hands on the walls. Choosing shower wall or an equivalent wall board will make cleaning that much easier, with no grout to clean but still offer a water tight finish.

always consider using colour

A splash of colour can go a long way when it comes to making a bathroom come alive. No one is saying paint the walls red and yellow. Instead, think about less permanent ways of brightening the place up. If you have a shower curtain, why not choose one that has an adventurous pattern? The same goes with bath mats. These can be tucked away after use, so why not choose one with an excitingchild-oriented design? It'll also get your young one in the habit
of drying their feet after using the tub.

It's Easy To Find The Middle Ground

Making a bathroom both relaxing for adults and fun for children is probably easier than you think. Follow these simple steps and you'll have a perfect family friendly bathroom in no time.
