2. Choose child-friendly bathroom furniture
As we all know, children and adults have different skins and different levels of sensitivity to water. Therefore, you need to pay special attention when choosing bathroom furniture such as faucets and basins. The faucet you choose here should be safe and easy to use for little hands. The basin thermostat faucet is effortless to control and makes it easier to adjust the water temperature. This makes them ideal for helping reduce the risk of burns.
Choose a cabinet with a large storage space to store and organize your children’s toys and other supplies. Make the bathroom look clean and tidy. Of course, the height of the cabinet should not be too high to prevent children from reaching the items.
When it comes to choosing a bathtub and shower combination, it is best to install a bathtub for your child. Since most children bathe regularly, installing a tub will not only allow them to bathe themselves, but a warm tub will protect them from the cold. When choosing a bathtub, choose those with bold colors.
In the choice of lighting, it is best to choose remote control lights. Easily turn on the light with the push of a button. This avoids the situation where children cannot reach the switch because they are not tall enough. When choosing a mirror, it is best to choose a bathroom mirror controlled by a touch sensor. This is safer and more convenient for children.
3. Choose a bold, childlike color scheme
Children and color go hand in hand, so it’s no surprise that spaces dedicated to children tend to be more saturated than spaces for adults. Most kids love bright colors and playful wall art, which can also make a bathroom look vibrant. If the bathroom is connected to the bedroom, continue to use the same color scheme in both.
4. Add some murals
Get creative, put some paint on your kid’s bathroom, and have fun. If the bathroom is large enough, it might be great to add a mural of your child’s favorite character or characters on the wall. If your child’s bathroom is smaller, try painting the walls with multiple stripes.

Adding some small accessories to the bathroom can make it more convenient for your children.

Reasonable use of these gadgets can also train children’s ability to live independently. Of course, the installation position of these accessories should not be too high.
6. Keep your children safe
While maintaining the beauty of your bathroom, don’t forget to consider the safety of your children, which is most important. Some absolutely safe must-have products include bathtub mats, drain and faucet covers, and toilet seat clamps. Bath mats prevent children from slipping on wet floors.
