The “in” thing in bathroom design especially for kids is all about super bright and happy colors, fun but functional bathroom fixtures, and most of all, safety for your precious little ones.

Picking a Theme.

A theme is inclusive of the entire bathroom design from the color scheme to the accessories. If you have a theme, then you can focus on a central design and filter any of your design decisions and purchases based on the theme.

There are so many themes for a kids bathroom that you can easily become overwhelmed.

When thinking of a cool creative theme for your child’s bathroom, you can check out interior decorating sites (like this one) or you can also check out interior decorating magazines and books.

Your theme should carry through from shower curtains, wall art, rugs and mats, towels, rags, and toys. You can color coordinate or have a central theme like nature theme, jungle theme, musical theme, flower garden theme and so on.

When you’re turning an old bathroom into a bathroom for your kids, here are some theme tips to use to on your adventure.

1. Choose a Theme Based on Your Child’s Interests

Your theme could depend on your child’s tastes, after all this is their bathroom. It could be something that your child wants, likes, or watches on TV .

Unless your child is too young to decide on their own, you can take your child to a big-box home store or to a department store to get some supplies. Of course, be there to guide your child in their choices.

2. Brainstorming Your Theme

Aside from consulting an interior decorator for your new theme design, you could also create your own.

Simply take a piece of paper, write down what comes into mind or you can draw some pictures. Sit and brainstorm with your child.

You will find that this is a fun and creative activity to do.

3. Think small and accessible!

When coming up with a creative concept for your kids bathroom, you will find that most bath and toilet elements are there but should be specially constructed for your child’s ease of use. For instance, the toilet seats should be smaller. The sinks should be shorter and shallower or you’ll want to have a step stool to reach the sink.

Mirrors should be easily accessible and storage elements should be accessible even for users with little hands.

4. Watch Saturday Morning Cartoons

You can find great ideas for bathroom themes by watching your child’s favorite shows. You can also check out what your child’s favorite storybook characters are.

You will find that there are numerous ideas for bathroom themes when you search from books, movies, television shows, and cartoon shows.

You can base your kids bathroom theme on characters or places in the story or plot.

Buy a Kid’s Bathroom Set.

What the heck is a kids bathroom set anyway? A bathroom set is a collection of bathroom items that are made to match. A bathroom set is usually composed of items such as a toilet seat, a sink, a small vanity, shower curtain, and other bathroom accessories for a themed bathroom.

Buying a bathroom set makes it easier on yourself, so you don’t have to hunt around for matching items. All of the items in your set will match for a kid friendly bathroom design.

There are also kid’s bathroom sets that include just the accessories rather than furniture. Here are some of the latest ideas that you can find for bathroom sets:

Rug Sets

Bathroom sets may be composed of all sorts of rugs. Bathrooms that are specially meant for kids should be adequately accessorized with different kinds of rugs: area rugs, rugs around the toilet, rugs near the shower area, and rugs placed around the sink or vanity area.

The latest designs include large animal prints, under the sea motifs, flower garden designs and many more.

Accessory Sets

Bathroom sets that include toothbrush holders, soap dishes, soap and shampoo dispensers, lotion holders, and caddies look great in your kids bathroom.

You can choose sets according to your child’s favorite color, favorite cartoon character, favorite motif, or design.

The latest designs include cute animals, bright colors, creative designs, and fun motifs.

Vanity Sets

Kids usually need to have their own bathroom accessories. You can find bathroom sets that have matching color, design, prints, and characters.

No matter what your child loves, what color they like, or cartoon characters they love, you will absolutely find bathroom sets for them. It does not matter how old or how young your child is, there is a bathroom set that will surely match their style.

Ask your child to show you what they want or what they would like for their kids bathroom decor. You will find that your little one may have more clever and creative bathroom designs than you could ever think of!

Bathroom Tile Ideas for a Kids Bathroom

Tiles with colorful designs, fun under the sea characters, and lively patterns are perfect for children’s bathrooms.

Bright and colorful tiles make the bathroom more fun and very accommodating especially for little kids.

Small children that are just learning to use the bathroom for the first time will feel less anxious when they see cute, colorful, and bright tiles as opposed to cold and unappealing white ceramic tiles. Don’t forget to add an equally colorful shower curtain.

And what’s even better? Tiles that won’t easily chip or crack, which is an option safe for little kids.

Bathroom Storage Ideas for Kid’s Stuff

It’s natural for kids to be messy at times with clothes and towels left behind as they use the bathroom. But you can make this better by making things easier for their little hands.

There are great storage ideas like cute but functional clothes hampers, bathroom drawers, and cabinets with colorful and functional handles, large towel racks, and many more.

You can reinvent your old bathroom storage elements to make them child-friendly and colorful.

Paint your old, adult looking vanities, drawers, and cabinets with new, colorful paint, bright wall colors, cute and colorful drawer knobs, and fun wall decor.

You don’t have to spend too much on all these renovations, yes you can be a cheapskate, just pay for the paint, a few cabinet knobs and you got a new bathroom fit for your little one! And I guarantee your little one is going to destroy your new bathroom anyway, so going cheap is the way to go.

Bathroom Accessories for Kids

A kid’s bathroom will never be a kid’s bathroom without the cute and adorable accessories specially made for little hands.

Everything should be colorful, bright and if you can find decor that matches your child’s personality then this would be great! What is truly attractive in a kid’s bathroom are specially-themed towels and robes that match the bathroom decor. Go and get some bright colored bathroom towels, robes and carpets!

Kids bathroom accessories usually include toothbrush holders, fun and crazy mirrors, colorful shower curtains, bright and colorful mats, and carpets, towel holders, wall decor, and hooks with cartoon characters.

Something risky you can try is to let your kids decide what they like best.  You will be surprised as to how many ideas they will be able to come up with!

Take note of the following important accessories that your child may need:

For a little girl

Does your daughter love under the sea adventures, sea creatures, manatees, and whales? If they do then she will adore towels, robes, and even cozy bathroom slippers with a special under the sea theme.

For a little boy

Does your son like football? You can get a football-themed bathrobe and towel that looks just like a football playing field!

Don’t forget to match your bathroom decor, carpets, curtains, wall color, and storage elements with the same football theme! Again, you do not have to spend so much on these simple decorations at all.

Bath mats and rugs

Mats and rugs are very important kid’s bathroom accessories. They are needed to protect your child from slipping and falling over wet floors.

No matter what kind of bathroom tile flooring you have, rugs and mats will provide safety and security for your child. You can find mats and rugs in all different colors, sizes, and shapes.

Vanity accessories

A kid’s bathroom needs a vanity/cabinet with a sink where your child can wash their face and hands, brush teeth, and get dressed. The vanity will usually hold bathroom accessories like toothbrush holders, cups, soap dishes, soap dispensers, lotion, and shampoo dispensers.

Your kids will also love to have small dishes where they can put the junk… I mean valuables from their pockets.

And of course, vanities will never be vanities without a mirror. There are so many kinds of mirrors fit for a child’s vanity. Large, colorful, and creative mirrors or small to medium-sized mirrors in different colors, designs, and prints.

Wall and window accessories

Bathroom decor sets like wall and window accessories make great additions to a child’s bathroom. Wall and window accessories include colorful window mosaics, colorful cathedral window-like designs for glass windows and so many more.

No matter what your child’s favorite color or character is, you can find wall and window accessories to match what they like. There are Spiderman, Ninja Turtle, and Hello Kitty window/wall decals to name a few.

Buy some fun bath toys

Kids love to play in the bathroom, but bath time is never a fun time without bath toys. Parents be aware: it is not your place to decide what bath toys would be perfect for your child. Take your child shopping for bath toys that will suit their taste.

There are a lot of toys to choose from actually… as opposed to the two bath toys that were available when I was a kid :). Your child’s imagination in collaboration with your extremely wise guidance are the keys to looking for the best bath toys. When it comes to toys, let them choose whatever they want – sell your car if you have to, to make them happy and love you forever!

Keep your kid’s bathroom safe!

Parents should never overlook safety in any bathroom design. Try some non-slip mats near shower areas or small step stools to help kids reach the vanity mirror.

These ideas will not just make your kids’ bathroom more functional and fun, but safe as well.
