In This Article

Remodeling your child's bathroom is an opportunity to create a space that’s both fun and functional. When designing for children, it’s important to prioritize safety and durability—think easy-to-clean surfaces, non-slip flooring, and features like grab bars for added security.

At the same time, a bathroom remodel is the perfect chance to let your child’s personality shine. Playful themes, bold colors, and imaginative decor can transform the space into something special. By involving your child in the decision-making process, you’ll not only make the remodel more enjoyable for them, but also ensure the finished bathroom is uniquely theirs. 

Here, we’ll share tips for designing a bathroom that’s especially kid-friendly, while still ensuring it remains versatile and can easily evolve as your children get older.

 

## Choosing materials for the children’s bathroom

### Kid-friendly materials to embrace

When remodeling your child’s bathroom, prioritize durable and easy-to-clean material such as porcelain tiles, [vinyl flooring](https://www.blockrenovation.com/guides/vinyl-flooring-in-bathrooms-pros-and-cons?hsLang=en), and quartz countertops. These materials are resistant to moisture and stains, making them ideal for heavy use and easy maintenance. Additionally, consider using semi-gloss or satin paint on the walls, as these finishes are more washable and can withstand frequent cleaning. Additionally, opt for rounded edges on countertops and fixtures to help prevent bumps and injuries during play.

### Common bathroom materials to avoid for kids

Avoid using natural stone surfaces like marble or travertine, as they can be porous, stain easily, and require regular sealing and maintenance. Steer clear of high-gloss tiles, which can become slippery when wet and pose a safety risk. Glass countertops and shelving, while stylish, are prone to breakage and can be hazardous for active children. 

[![PlanBetaBanner-3](https://www.blockrenovation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PlanBetaBanner-3.png?width=1912&height=918&name=PlanBetaBanner-3.png)](https://www.blockrenovation.com/plan/signup/beta?hsLang=en)

## Essential features to include in a child's bathroom

### Designing for kid bathroom safety

When designing a bathroom for children, safety should be a top priority. Opt for non-slip flooring and install grab bars near the tub, shower, and toilet for added stability. Choose rounded edges on countertops and fixtures to avoid injuries from sharp corners. Lastly, make sure that all electrical outlets are equipped with childproof covers to prevent accidental shocks.

### Functional features for a child-friendly bathroom

- **Handheld showerhead:** Makes rinsing easier and more enjoyable for children, and simplifies cleaning the tub or shower area.
- **Step stool:** Provides a sturdy boost so kids can comfortably reach the sink, countertop, and mirror, encouraging independence.
- **Low-level towel hooks:** Mount towel hooks or bars at a child-friendly height for easy access to towels.
- **Accessible storage:** Incorporate open shelves, baskets, or drawers within easy reach so children can access toiletries, bath toys, and other essentials without assistance.
- **Soft-close toilet seat:** Prevents pinched fingers and reduces noise.
- **Easy-to-use faucets:** Opt for single-lever or touchless faucets that are simple for small hands to operate.
- **Non-slip bath mat:** Place a non-slip mat inside and outside the tub or shower to help prevent slips and falls.
- **Temperature-regulating faucets:** Install anti-scald devices or thermostatic mixing valves to prevent accidental burns from hot water.
- **Night lights:** Add motion-activated or plug-in night lights to help children navigate the bathroom safely at night.

Children’s bath time often comes with an array of accessories, from toys to bath products, that can quickly clutter the space. This 60-square-foot [Brooklyn bathroom](https://www.blockrenovation.com/customer-gallery/brooklyn-bathroom-18260?hsLang=en) features convenient tiled shelves for easy storage of these items, as well as a spot where parents can comfortably sit during bath time, keeping everything organized and within reach.

### Child-proofing your bathroom

Child-proofing your bathroom is essential to ensure your child's safety. Install safety locks on cabinets and drawers to keep hazardous items out of reach. Use faucet covers and anti-scald devices to prevent burns.

Opt for shatterproof mirrors and avoid sharp edges on furniture and fixtures. Keep electrical appliances, such as hairdryers and razors, stored safely away from water sources.

A large storage vanity with childproof locks, like the one in this 60-square-foot [Los Angeles bathroom](https://www.blockrenovation.com/customer-gallery/arcadia-bathroom-34524?hsLang=en), provides a safe space to store hazardous items out of children's reach.

## Creative storage solutions for children’s bathrooms

Effective storage solutions are crucial in a child's bathroom to keep it organized and clutter-free. Use baskets, bins, and shelves to store toys, toiletries, and towels. Label each container to make it easy for your child to find and put away their items.

Consider adding hooks at a lower height for towels and robes that your child can access easily. [Floating shelves](https://www.blockrenovation.com/guides/design/open-shelving-bathroom-ideas-refresh?hsLang=en) and over-the-door organizers can maximize space and keep the bathroom tidy.

This 60-square-foot [New York bathroom](https://www.blockrenovation.com/customer-gallery/new-york-bathroom-27691?hsLang=en) includes a conveniently placed hamper for easy access to clean towels, along with open wall shelving that keeps products within reach for adults but safely out of the reach of little hands or climbing toddlers.

While bathtubs are often considered the more kid-friendly choice—perfect for splashing, playtime, and easy bathing of younger children—showers can also meet the needs of families and offer added benefits such as saving space, promoting independence, and simplifying cleaning. 

To make showers more accommodating for kids, consider installing a handheld showerhead at a lower height, which allows children to rinse off easily and gives parents more control during bath time. Incorporate built-in benches or ledges for sitting and storage, and use non-slip tiles on the shower floor to prevent slips and falls. Frameless glass doors or low-threshold entries can make access easier for little ones, while adjustable showerheads and temperature controls help ensure safety and comfort as your child grows. With thoughtful design, a shower can be just as practical and enjoyable for kids as a traditional tub.

## How to choose the right design theme for your child’s bathroom

Choosing the right theme for your child’s bathroom is a fun and exciting process. Consider your child’s interests and preferences when selecting a theme. Popular choices include underwater adventures, jungle safari, space exploration, or even their favorite cartoon characters.

Remember to mix and match colors, patterns, and accessories that align with the chosen theme. This will create a cohesive look that your child will love. Involve your child in the decision-making process to make them feel a part of the remodel.

Be sure to consider your child’s growth and create a design that’s adaptable, so it stays appealing as they get older.

## Frequently asked questions about designing a children's bathroom remodel

How can I ensure my child’s bathroom is safe?

 Safety is crucial in a child’s bathroom. Consider installing non-slip flooring, adding grab bars near the tub or shower, and opting for rounded edges on counters and fixtures. Anti-scald devices and faucet covers can help prevent burns, while childproof locks on cabinets keep harmful items out of reach.

What are some practical storage solutions for a kids' bathroom?

 Effective storage is key in a child’s bathroom. Consider low-level shelving, hooks, and baskets that your child can easily access. Floating shelves, over-the-door organizers, and labeled bins or baskets can help keep the bathroom tidy and organized while maximizing space.

How can I make the bathroom remodel enjoyable for my child?

 Get your child involved in the design process by allowing them to pick out colors, accessories, and small decor items. This can make them feel excited about the remodel and more connected to the space. Incorporating fun elements like colorful wall decals or playful lighting can also help make the bathroom feel special and unique to them.

How can I design a bathroom that will grow with my children?

 To create a bathroom that grows with your children, choose timeless fixtures and neutral colors for the larger elements like flooring, tiles, and vanity. Add personality with removable decor, such as wall decals, colorful towels, and themed accessories, which can be easily updated as your children’s tastes evolve.

How can I make bath time more enjoyable in a remodeled bathroom?

 Incorporate playful and engaging elements, such as bright colors, themed shower curtains, or fun bath toys. A handheld showerhead can make bath time more interactive, and a built-in shelf or nook for storing toys and bath essentials can keep everything organized and within reach.

What’s the best lighting for a kids' bathroom?

 Good lighting is essential for both safety and functionality in a child’s bathroom. Consider using soft, warm lighting that isn’t too harsh on young eyes. Task lighting around the vanity helps with daily grooming, while fun and playful fixtures, such as colorful night lights or decorative overhead lighting, can add character to the space.
