Designing A Bathroom For Children

Posted on January 8th, 2010 admin 28 comments

Think of how much fun you and your children will have designing a bathroom especially for them or even adding an addition onto the existing bathroom and making it their own special room. Even large homes have small bathrooms with insufficient space so if you can annex an adjoining hall closet or bedroom this can solve some of the space issues. If you enlarge the room what better way to utilize the additional space by providing your child with his or hers own bathing or wash area. By allotting a designated area to young children could alleviate some of the morning traffic when everyone is trying to get ready at the same time.

In order not to incur a greater expense, if possible try to break down a wall that attaches to the plumbing wall. This means you don’t have to worry about installing new plumbing since it is less expensive to install new bathroom fixtures where the existing pipes run. Now that you have added extra square footage, it’s time to organize the bathroom. You may not be able to install a separate bathtub or shower, but you can install a new sink, some added storage cabinets for their bath toys. Partitioning off the bathroom so it gives them the feeling it is uniquely their own place, can be done by installing retractable sliding doors that are quite safe or build a divider wall.

Be practical when choosing a bathroom theme

Now if you have the luxury of an extra bathroom that can be designated strictly to the children, then the design options are endless. So where to start? This should be a joint decision between parents and children. It is recommended to go with a theme that is inspirational to your child or children. First select the color, pastel pinks and blues may not always work if it is a unisex bathroom. Bold colors tend to work well with an all white bathroom suite. White ceramic tiles with some rows of solid colored tile will help in creating a consistent look from the shower to the sink area without distorting the theme. Try to stay away from decorative tiling with animated images, remember children do grow up and their taste in bathroom décor will change. Be practical in your decision making, you may want to sell the house one day. Having to replace a complete shower wall covered with Mickey or Minnie Mouse could be very expensive.

Designing a child’s bathroom can be done on a budget. Providing you don’t go out on a limb and decide to turn the bathroom into one big theme from taps to sinks because they will get tired of this look. It’s easier to paint over a wall than to replace tiles and more practical to stick with white neutral bathroom furniture. Also consider adding shelves into the wall of the shower or bathtub these spaces can hold soaps and bathing toys for children.

  Do you think blogging just has to be about writing? Reason I ask is I want to start a photography blog, but I feel I am better at expressing myself with photos rather than write. Should I even start it? With your experience could it work, more pictures, less words?
