Our Family Friendly Bathroom Ideas

Are you planning to build a family-friendly bathroom? A family bathroom must be functional, and easily accessible, yet also calm and tidy. This guide’s collection of family bathroom ideas can help you make the most of the space you have.

Make the Bathroom easy for kids to use

First of all, here are some tips and tricks you can use to make sure your kids are safe and happy in your child-friendly bathroom.

• If your kids are tall enough to reach the taps themselves, you can turn down the high temperature of the hot water straight from your boiler.
• Thermostatic baths let you control the temperature of your shower so that you don’t get too hot.
• Glass tumblers should be replaced with plastic ones, and any bathroom items you buy should be made of plastic or resin that won’t break.
• A nonslip bath mat with suction cups is a good purchase for the whole family, not just for kids.
• To keep little ones from getting hurt, put plastic bumpers on any sharp closet edges.

Simple-to-Use Taps

Mono basin mixers with lever handles are good for kids because they are easier to use than pillar taps and let you get the right mix of hot and cold water to keep kids from getting burned.

Chrome taps are also a good choice for family bathrooms because they are easier to clean and keep than finishes like brushed brass and matt black. Chrome will also give your bathroom a sparkly look.

Wall or Rimless Toilets

Wall toilets are a stylish choice for bathrooms because the tank is hidden behind the toilet. This makes the bathroom look less cluttered and gives you more room to store family items. Modern rimless toilets are also a great choice because they are easier to clean and more sanitary than regular toilets. This means you can spend more time with your family and less time cleaning.

Soft-close seats are great for kids so that their fingers don’t get stuck.

Shower vs Bath

Most families with young children choose to have a bath because it gives the room a focal point and looks nice. If you can’t decide between putting in a shower or a bath, shower baths are the best choice for young children because they give you the best of both worlds. You should also choose a shower screen instead of a shower curtain for your bathroom because it’s easier to clean and will help keep small children from splashing.

How to Have Fun in the Bath

Bath time can be a chore for young kids, but if you make a few changes, you can make it something they look forward to. To add to the fun, try tiny bath bombs, glow sticks, and bath crayons. You can also easily make your own bath crayons by melting extra soap and crayons together in the microwave and then freezing the mixture into pencil-shaped pieces. Another important tip is to put the taps in the middle of the bath. This will stop people from fighting over who gets to sit at the tap end.

Bathroom Design Ideas

By choosing the right furniture for your family’s bathroom, you can make sure there is enough space for storage and avoid a crowded look.

Wall-mounted Vanities

Vanity units that hang on the wall are great for small family bathrooms because they save space on the floor. You could also put a stool under a desk that is mounted on the wall.

Wall-hung vanities also make your space look less cluttered and more clean, and you don’t have to give up storage space for important bathroom items for your family.

Vanity with Dual Sinks

Vanity units with two sinks are very useful if you have kids, but they are also very stylish for regular bathrooms. They are great for larger, more modern, busy family bathrooms that are used by more than one person often.

Bathroom Storage Options

Let’s face it: shared bathrooms are busy places! To keep your products and bath toys out of sight, your bathroom needs a lot of storage space. A messy bathroom is the opposite of a relaxing space.

Large Storage

Large storage boxes are becoming more popular among people who want their bathrooms to look less cluttered and want to make use of the height. You can also put medicines, glass bottles, and sharp objects out of reach of children in tall storage units.

Joint Units

Joint toilet and sink units are great because they save space and make the room look better. The toilets are small and space-efficient because the tank is hidden inside.

Shower Containers

Shower containers and baskets are good ways to store things on the walls of a bathroom. They are a must-have for family bathrooms so that shower supplies and even bath toys can be stored and the bathroom doesn’t get too messy. We suggest getting a polished stainless steel caddy to keep it looking good for a long time and to keep it from rusting in damp family bathrooms.

Mirrors

We have a wide range of bathroom mirrors, including ones that light up, clear fog, and have shaving plugs and touch sensors. Bathrooms that are brighter tend to make you feel open and fresh. Bluetooth mirrors are also a great addition to modern family bathrooms because they make bath time more fun for kids.

Mirrored cabinets are a great way to get a lot of storage space in the bathroom without giving up a mirror.

Bathroom Floors and Tiles

Choose floor and wall tiles that are easy to clean, like porcelain tiles, which can handle splashes and moisture. Vinyl floors are also popular because they are easy to clean and soft, which is great for kids who might fall. Choose bigger tiles because they are easier to clean and have less grout lines.

Shades of white will give your family bathroom a clean, fresh look and make the room feel bigger. Choose off-white and grey colours because they don’t show dirt and dust as much. If you have a small bathroom, choose floor and wall tiles that are the same colour. This will make the room look bigger.

With this list of ideas for family bathrooms, you should be able to plan the right bathroom for your family. We have more suggestions for products on our page about baths that are good for kids.
