Children’s Bathroom Decorating Ideas, to design a safety, brightly painted bathroom with funny and unique accessories.
Decorating children’s bathroom needs more consideration, but It is definitely not as difficult as some lead you to believe. If you’re designing a bath for use just by kids, you may want to keep costly installed materials fairly neutral, but you can go wild with everything else. Brightly painted walls make a huge impact, and, even better.
The best idea is to create a neutral base for your decorating plans. Pick a standard, white bathroom suite – nothing too old-fashioned and traditional, but equally, nothing that stands out as too modern. Also pick white, or neutral, tiles. Your kids will grow up quicker than you think. A decorating scheme that is perfect for tiny tots, will soon appear childish as they grow a little older. With a neutral bathroom structure, you can easily and cheaply get a whole new look, whenever you want.
Children's Bathroom Decorating Ideas
Since most bathroom spaces are small, save the murals for the children’ bedrooms. A lively shade is all that’s needed to bring bathroom walls to life. Naturally, if you’re going with a theme, it will dictate the color you choose. For example, turquoise is a perfect fit for an underwater scheme, a sky fantasy bathroom might have walls painted robin’s egg blue, and a soft green makes the perfect backdrop for a jungle-themed bathroom. Stencils and vinyl decals let you add character to the walls, while a peppy-printed shower curtain pulls the whole look together.
For toddlers and small children, try to make it simple for them to learn how to use a bathroom. Get a small step for the toilet and basin, so tiny tots can reach easily – they will soon be learning how to do it on their own.
Make sure taps can be turned on and off easily, so they are user friendly for your kids. Also consider installing a push-button flush toilet. Can’t you remember being a kid yourself — and trying to get the hang of that tricky flush-handle?
Don’t forget to add safety to your design list. Whether you choose a rubber bath mat or non-slip adhesive decals, make sure the bottom of the tub or shower your child will use has a bottom covering that provides traction. Make those decals or bath mats a bright color, and you’ll draw your child’s attention as he steps in, subtly developing a safety habit of looking where you step.
A first consideration is what materials will be used in your child's room. At first it may be ‘cute’ to create a room that will be a totally dedicated nursery for the new baby. This room will usually consist of pale pastel colors and delicate lacey fabrics. But what happens as the baby grows older, and becomes a toddler? Suddenly those pastel colors of pink, blue, yellow and green and delicate fabrics of silky cottons may no longer be practical to the one who must take care of the room.
So instead, when designing a room for that little one, a certain amount of “thinking and planning ahead” is required. Part of this “planning ahead’ means whatever you bring into the room that it be easy to care for, i.e. washable and durable, and can be easily changed as the child grows older and his/her tastes changes. Some teenagers will in all probability not want the frilly curtains, or a pastel bedspread.
Storage is another factor to be considered. Babies grow out of his/her clothes, they also accumulate these clothes plus other items, such as shoes, and accessories, so that storing these items can over time present an ever growing problem. How much closet space is available in the room? How much closet space is going to be required? Is the room big enough to house a child’s toy box. Will the room easily be able to incorporate built in’s , and if so, where will these go in the room? Department stores and home supply stores devote entire sections to the subject of room storage. Here modular units and cubicles can be found that provide an endless arrangement of ideas. Racks and shelving for closets also offer endless possibilities. And this is why a preliminary “planned” layout of the room is essential before installing any storage saving devices.
Wall shelving that can be adjusted in height offers great flexibility in terms of storage. Here again, space is easily provided for items that will range from large children books, stuffed toys, and then later on for school books, and those ubiquitous CD’s, stereo equipment, computer paraphernalia, collectibles, or whatever hobby the child or teenager may be involved in at the time.
Hardwood or even vinyl floors are best as far as keeping a child’s room neat and clean. Also the use of non-skid rugs that can be easily washed in the washing machine. This is preferred to having an entire room carpeted. Because once a carpet becomes stained, it will be difficult to keep it looking nice. And the various cleaning agents that are used to clean these carpets may actually prove harmful to a child, especially a child with a serious allergy problem. Carpets hold on to dust mites which again can aggravate or even trigger an allergic reaction in a child.
Regarding window treatments, curtains, ones easy to clean should be another consideration. Shade as opposed to venetian blinds may be a preference as they are easier to keep clean. Plus these don't provide the danger of dangling cords, even though safety devices are available for these cords, some are difficult to use. These cords may present a health hazard to a small child and even a small animal. A stencil or two can really spiff up a windowshade, and again are easy to change as the child gets older.
