Designing a kid-friendly bathroom does not necessarily mean reducing the size of the toilet or tub. If you do, the space will not be as convenient for the adult members of the family to use. But there are things you can do to make the area more kid-friendly.
- A toilet of standard height: A standard-sized toilet with a seat of 15 inches is considered the ideal measurement for a child-friendly bathroom. A child-sized toilet might seem like a smart choice at the given moment, but it soon becomes impractical as children grow taller.
- A kid-proof countertop: For the countertop, you need to choose a material that cannot be stained or scratched. The last thing you want is splurging on a beautiful fixture, such as a granite countertop, only for your children to make a permanent unsightly mess. Many experts will recommend quartz countertops because they can resemble the look of luxurious granite while being resistant to scratches and stains.
- Storage: You need enough storage to store away toys and other personal items of your young one. Baskets and drawers that are accessible at a child’s height are customary solutions to incorporate into your bathroom remodeling plans. If more than one child uses the bathroom, give each one their own storage spot to avoid disorder.
- Temperature control: To keep active kids from burning themselves when they are washing their hands or bathing in the shower, consider adding anti-scald devices to faucets and showerheads. These devices regulate temperature by limiting the amount of hot water that can flow through.
