Did you know that making your kids’ bathroom easier to use can make them more excited about showering or washing their hair? Imagine how much less stressful your life will be without the daily bathroom battle! If your kids’ bathroom doesn’t have a user-friendly design that will entice your kids to come in and clean, consider some of these ideas before you start the remodel.

Fun designs that invite children to come and play

Kids love stickers and decals. If your child has a favorite superhero, he can create a themed look on the bathroom wall with some colorful decals. Otherwise, a marine-themed design generally appeals to children, whether you choose to feature sea animals or pirate décor in the room. Artworks that have special appeal to children can fire up their imaginations while keeping them focused on the job at hand.

Shower curtains are often easier for children to use than doors. They are also more easily replaced if the kids get a little rough when playing. If you have younger children, you can more easily maneuver to help them take a shower with a shower curtain. Use a design that matches the other kid-friendly elements in the room to pull the look together.

Create a safe haven for children to bathe

Your main consideration in a children’s bathroom should be safety. Anti-scald devices will prevent children from being scalded by water that is too hot for their skin to handle. Make sure all water fixtures, such as faucets and shower heads, have these devices installed.

Bathtubs, shower stalls, and bathroom floors can become slippery. Install a non-slip surface on your shower or tub floor, and choose non-slip, highly absorbent mats for areas that tend to attract moisture.

Electrical accessories should include the safest options available. Keep outlets covered with plug covers, so curiosity doesn’t create danger.

organize your space

If your children share a bathroom, set up cubicles for each child to store their belongings. That way, there will be no fights over bath toys or favorite soap products. It can also keep the room from degenerating into total chaos while also teaching the kids a subtle lesson in organization.

Make services easy for kids to use

If you have small children, consider including some stools in the furniture in the room. They will develop more independence as they can perform tasks on their own with only a stool for assistance.

Use kid-friendly handles, levers, and shelves

Since children’s hands are not as powerful as adults’ hands, look for drawer pulls and door openers that children can easily manipulate. If the doors are locked, make sure you have a spare key so you can get into the room in an emergency.

Consider installing a few extra towel rings or hooks a little lower than what adults use. If adults share a room, you can easily include towel racks for both adults and children in the same room.

Toilets must have a scale for adult use

A toilet is a permanent fixture in your bathrooms. Because children grow so quickly, your children’s bathroom should have an adult toilet. Younger children can use potties and a step stool to use it.

Countertops must be stain and scratch resistant

Children who use the bathroom often play rough. Why let his roughhousing make you explode? Instead, install quartz countertops or other materials that will withstand even the harshest treatment.
