Decorating a bathroom that is used by a child presents its own unique challenges. Because young children use the bathroom so often (many times accompanied by a parent), these bathrooms are often the most used rooms in a house. Unfortunately, most parents have no idea how to decorate kids’ bathrooms. Children can be vocal about things they dislike, so parents of young kids sometimes find that their design choices are less-than-welcome. This article offer some tips and ideas that parents can use to decorate a kid’s bathroom.
Boy or Girl? It Can Make a Difference When You Decorate
When decorating a child’s bathroom, start from the gender of the child and work from that starting point. A boy’s bathroom can be decorated with things more likely to appeal to them such as cars, dinosaurs or bugs, while a bathroom for a girl should feature things which a boy would be less interested in; perhaps princesses and dolls. If a bathroom will be used by children of both genders, then a neutral theme should be worked towards while providing for the interests of both children. No matter what your theme, there are plenty of accessories and decorations to choose from.
Accessories and Decorations to Use
There are dozens of accessories that you can use to decorate a kid’s bathroom. For example, if your child enjoys cars, you can buy a bathmat and curtain set that have cars on them. Similarly, if your child likes Disney cartoons, you can use a bathroom rug that has pictures of their favorite cartoon characters.
Even toothbrush tumblers are available in many different styles. How about a princess shaped one if your child is a girl, or a dinosaur shaped tumbler for a boy? Soap dispensers come in many styles too and can also be used to enliven children’s bathrooms with their favorite characters, animals and more.
Other things to consider that may liven up your kid’s bathroom include tissue dispensers, soap dishes, wastebaskets, or knobs. You can even decorate the drawer knobs in your kid’s bathroom if you so choose. You can choose from soccer balls, jungle animals, clown faces, or the like. It all depends on children’s preferences. Whatever a child’s interests, and decorations you use in the bathroom can accommodate them.
As Your Child Changes, so Does the Bathroom
As your children get older, the things that inspire or entertain them changes. Accessories and decorations can be easily replaced as your child’s passions change. Bathmats, shower curtains, tumblers, soap dispensers and knobs can be changed to reflect a child’s new interests.
Take care to avoid using decorations in your child’s bathroom that may be difficult to change. For example, wallpaper that has pictures of bugs on it may delight a boy when he is only a few years old. However, he will likely outgrow this passion, leaving wallpaper that needs to be replaced.
However you choose to decorate your kid’s bathroom is limited just by your imagination and your budget. There are many accessories available to decorate with so that you can change themes easily even on a budget, and are really only limited by your imagination. If you know your child and what he or she likes, you’ll be able to decorate the bathroom appropriately in the first place and then can change the theme as he or she gets older. With just a little planning and imagination, as well as a small budget, you can create and keep the perfect bathroom for your child.
