Putting Together a Child’s Bathroom

When you upgrade to a larger house, one of the most common reasons is a need for more space, whether it’s due to personal preference or, more likely, a growing family. Added space means more privacy and space for those to call their own. A bedroom is what comes to mind first, but a bathroom can do the same thing, especially for a child. Here are some things to consider when planning out remodeled bathrooms.Let’s talk decor first. Nothing makes a space your own quite like some clever decoration. Don’t feel that you need to go full-bore when it comes to this concept though. Some parents make the mistake of thinking that they need to choose a theme then cram everything they see that fits it. Excess decor never works. In some cases, you may want to consult with the experts you are working with on your remodel to decide what is a good match and what is too much. Let’s talk about themes themselves as well. There are a lot of different inspirations you can draw from when it comes to remodeling. Home magazines, websites, other homes, and most importantly, the professionals. Of course, your child will have their own suggestions, but you may want to run these through a bit of filter. Painting, the curtain rod, all of these different pieces can factor into a theme.Creating a room isn’t all aesthetics though; the organization is every bit as important. There are also practical concerns as well when it comes to giving your children their own bathroom. Let’s face it, they’re not going to be as organized when it comes to towels or hygiene essentials. This is why you want to think about organization when it comes to your planning.For a start, implement a tiered hanging basket. This helps a lot in smaller rooms or when multiple children share a room. Not only does it not take up a lot of space, but you can separate it so everyone knows where to put their things. Smaller kids will enjoy their tub toys as well, but you may want to make sure that you have a clear pace to put them so you avoid potential messes.Don’t forget safety when it comes to putting things together, either. Make sure that you invest in various safety items around the room, including:

• Tub mats
• Faucet covers
• Drain covers
• A cover clamp for the toilet

The age of your children will guide your hand a little bit when it comes to what you need to use, but it’s a combination of theming and practicality that makes the perfect room for your family.
