Decorating Kids’ Bathrooms

If there’s a kid (or kid at heart!) in your house who has his or her own bathroom, consider yourself lucky – decorating a kid-friendly bathroom can be loads of fun for you and the young user alike. Kids’ bathrooms serve as a great place to go all-out with colorful, cute, and/or wacky fixtures.

If you’re willing to go all-out kiddy, go for a fun vanity.

Sonia’s Lesson 1 collection is designed to make bathrooms fun for all ages!

Kids can actually draw on the wall-hung, dry-erase, magnetic vanity! The collection includes matching tumblers, towel rods, combination step stool/storage chest, trays, and a shatter-resistant safe glass mirror.

If I was redesigning my kids’ bathroom now, you bet I’d pick this. So much fun.

Now, if you have a houseful of girly-girls (or just one with her own bathroom), give your princess(es) a truly fairy-tale bathroom.

It even has little fairies on it!

Not exactly my speed, but I know plenty of little girls who would desperately want one.

Once the little girl matures, she may want something more “sophisticated” – so go for a crisp butterfly print on a modern vanity for a bathroom that works from little girl to “grown-up” teen.

You can go wild with tile in fun colors for a gender-neutral kids’ bath:

 

I love the bright green door.

If you don’t have the space, time, budget, or desire for a designated kiddie bathroom, have fun with temporary furnishings: shower curtains, mirrors, rugs, towels, accessories… the possibilities are practically endless, and easy to change as the kids (and their tastes!) grow.

With the handy-dandy built-in timer, they’ll actually want to brush their teeth. (Well, maybe.)

This mirror adds a splash (pun fully intended) of color to a neutral bathroom. Case in point:

I think bright green may be a contender for my new favorite color!
I love how this blah bathroom was rescued by simple accessorizing. Who wouldn’t smile in that room?
