Child Bathroom Remodeling

When remodeling the bathroom of your children, think about how to make it a happy but safe place. Both in the case of children and elderly, safety should be taken into consideration in planning the bathroom remodel.  Here are five “bathroom for children” remodeling ideas that will make your project a complete success.

First: Giving children a bathroom that is child friendly. Children like bright colors like yellow, blue or orange in their bathroom.   Include these colors in their remodeling project.  However, it will depend on the age of the children that will use the bathroom.   Ask them for advice before making the final decision about the decoration. They will feel much better if they are able to choose.  Add happy touches that children will enjoy. An example: if you are putting new tile over the sink, you can have a couple of tiles with their favorite cartoon.  Some tiles can also be made by yourself and your kids.

Second: Add some mainstream appealing pictures.   For example, choose your shower curtain according to your children’s favorite characters or topics.   For simple decorating for the bathroom, choose a matching character and color theme.  The whole bathroom can be made according to a specific topic (Disney or Hanna Montana, for example).

Third: Make it a functional bathroom, made for children with the help of your children. For example, the towel racks must be hanged up in a height that is easy for your children to use.   Equally, you should put the cabinets, shelves and other bathroom furniture low enough for children, so they can reach them easily (otherwise they will climb to the edge of the tub, over the toilet or over the sink, this is a huge safety risk for them).   Provide easy storage for bathtub toys and other items and keep separate dangerous (like cleaning products) and non-dangerous items (like toys).

Fourth: Make the bathroom completely safe for your children. This point cannot be stressed enough. Bathroom can be a dangerous place.   Install a slip-resistant floor that minimizes the possibility of falls. Lock any cabinets that contain any cleaning products that are dangerous to children.

Fifth: When planning the remodeling project, choose items that can be easy replaced in the near future – mostly in a couple of years.   Children’s tastes will change as they age, so plan in advance for at least removing cartoon characters or bright colors. Their children bathroom decor won’t last forever, no matter how good the quality is.
