Tips for Designing a Kids’ Bathroom
Designing a bathroom that your kids will actually want to use is no easy feat. It requires more than just decorating it with their favourite theme and colours or some playful elements. While that helps, true design lies in making daily routines effortless, safe and organised. Lets break down some ideas to get you started with a bathroom that is thoughtfully designed with your little ones needs in mind.
The Toilet
Lets be honest, small kids, especially toddlers and preschoolers, can have a hard time using a full-sized toilet. The last thing you want is a toilet that is hard for them to use. A kid-friendly setup with a potty seat, or a seat insert and a stable step stool, can help your little one feel more balanced and secure. Additionally, installing a low-mounted toilet flush valve or sensor-activated flush valve that is easily reachable by children will be especially convenient and easy to use.
Double Vanities or Double Faucets
If you have twins or more than one kid sharing the same bathroom, school mornings can get chaotic. Investing in a double vanity station or double faucets can be a thoughtful upgrade that significantly helps reduce sibling disagreements. Focus on ergonomic design and faucets that are ideal for little hands. Opt for a slightly lower countertop or space for a sturdy step stool to ensure children can easily reach the basin or the faucet.
Simplify Showering but Keep the Fun
Most kids love nothing better than dancing beneath a showerhead, which can be fun but a real mess to clean up later. Thats why creating a bathing space that feels both fun and functional can make all the difference. Start with shower enclosures to contain the splashes and keep the rest of the bathroom clean. A shower enclosure can significantly reduce the cleanup time and reduce any accidental slips outside the showering area. Dual showerheads, preferably with a hand-held option, are also excellent choice and add a practical touch, fostering independence in children. Furthermore, the setup remains useful as they grow older.
Choosing quality sanitaryware products can be an excellent way to ensure long-lasting performance in your kids bathroom.
