How to Make Your Bathroom Kid-Friendly

A kid-friendly bathroom should be safe, well-organized and hygienic. Thus, it should have easy-to-clean surfaces, durable fixtures, adequate storage space and accommodations that will benefit small children. Here are some of the important elements you should consider incorporating in your bathroom remodeling plan.

Interesting Color Palettes

Make your bathroom a fun space with neutral colors for tiles and cabinets and saturated hues for the wall paint and other important accessories. These can reflect your child’s personality, and when they’ve grown up, you can easily change either color scheme in the future.

Toy Storage

You’ll want kids’ toys and personal items to have their own storage space in your bathroom. Consider baskets and drawers that a small child can easily reach without having to step over something. If you have two or more kids in your family, create a storage spot for each.

Bathroom Fixtures for all Ages

Incorporate bathroom features that anyone in your family – regardless of age and ability – can use with ease. A handheld shower, for instance, can be repositioned anywhere to fit the needs of your children, teens or adults. It can come in handy when you bathe your kids or even clean the tub or shower stall.

Taller Vanity

This might not make sense in a kid-friendly bathroom, but you’ll want to anticipate your children’s growth spurts within a few years. Before that time comes, you want to make sure there’s a bathroom stool hidden away in a cabinet. It will be used for your child to step on as you guide them in washing their hands and brushing their teeth.

Kid-Proof Countertops

A kid-proof countertop is one that is non-porous, scratch-resistant and easy-to-clean. This also gives you confidence that mold and bacteria won’t be lurking underneath it. The best choices for such a countertop include quartz and recycled glass.
