Things to Consider When Planning a Kid-Friendly Bathroom

A family bathroom is a multi-purpose space that must include durable fixtures, easy-care surfaces and accommodations for little kids. When planning your child-friendly bathroom remodel, it is important to take the following features into account to make day-to-day living more convenient for everyone.

A work surface with the proper height. Consider lowering the height of the vanity countertop so children can reach for the faucet without having to stand on their tippy-toes. If you are looking for a long-term solution, you can maintain the standard countertop height and simply incorporate a lift-out step into the bottom drawer.
A toilet that transitions. Purchase a toilet with a seat that accommodates both adults and children without requiring separate seats. Also, a quiet-close toilet seat creates little to no noise, which is not only helpful for kids who have trouble closing seats without losing their grip but also ensures privacy in the bathroom.
Plenty of storage. When you have kids, creating plenty of stow-away space is essential in a bath renovation. Go for oversized, deep shower niches where soaps, shampoos bottles, and even toys can be stored orderly. Rather than open-shelf storage, choose built-in cabinets to conceal clutter around the space.
Non-slip floors. Easy-clean, non-slip surfaces are particularly beneficial for children and the elderly. Porcelain is a popular choice, thanks to its durability and beauty. Textured surfaces are great for avoiding slip-and-fall accidents. Experts also recommend large tiles for children’s bathrooms because it means fewer grout lines to polish.
