The bathroom is one of the most-used rooms in the house, but it isn’t always accessible for little ones. If you’re planning a bathroom renovation, here are a few ways to ensure the new restroom is comfortable for even the youngest family members.

What to Think About When Creating a Kid’s Bathroom

1. Safety Concerns

Safety is a significant concern in the bathroom as wet surfaces increase the risk of slips and falls. Minimize the likelihood of cuts and scrapes by smoothing the edges and corners of countertops, cabinets, and other fixtures. Consider a flooring material, like laminate, ceramic tile, or vinyl, that will withstand drips and puddles and is waterproof and easy to clean.

2. Height

If your little one is experiencing difficulty reaching the sink, include a lower countertop in your renovation project. If your child will hit their growth spurt soon, keep the sink height, and ask your contractor to incorporate a pull-out step beneath the sink storage or cabinet space.

3. Storage

From shampoo and conditioner bottles to hairbrushes and soaps, kids have many hygiene products. Keep the area organized by including extra storage space, like deep drawers and built-in custom cabinetry. You can also add built-in nooks for daily essentials, like toothpaste and -brushes as well as bathing toys.
