Children love water and bath times are amongst their favourite activities. Parents also love bathing their children because it allows them to bond with their children a lot more. The only problem some parents face is getting the child into the bath in the first place. Once the child is in they start having fun and they never want to come out but initially parents have to jump through hoops to convince their young ones to take a bath.
You can make this process a lot easier on yourself by decorating the kids bathroom in such a way that it becomes their favourite room in the house. As well as the decor of the bathroom, toys and bath accessories will make bathing your child so much easier and fun.
The most important thing in a child’s bathroom is the colour. Bright colours always fascinate children and by painting your walls in such colours you are well on your way to creating a space that your children will love. Reds, oranges, purples, blues and greens are all excellent choices. This is opposed to the neutral colours you would normally choose for the bathrooms intended for adults.
After you’ve chosen your preferred colours, you need to start thinking about the rest of the decor. This is where you get to have fun and let your creative juices flow. There are many bathroom accessories that will make your job easier. You can even go for a themed bathroom where you do everything in the child’s favourite cartoon character or children’s show. All the essentials should be there such as cabinets so that you can store everything. In fact, a kids bathroom is in need of more cabinets and storage space than a normal bathroom because you need a place to put the many bath toys and accessories when they are not being used.
Lighting can play an important role in whatever look you are going for. You can get some wonderful bulbs that produce different colours so your children will be amazed when they come on. The market is full of lighting intended for children’s bathrooms.
The bathroom is a dangerous place, no matter whether it is one created especially for children or an adult bathroom. You need to stay extra vigilant whenever a child is having a bath and never leave them unattended. If someone is knocking at the door or a phone rings, it is so easy to attend to it and leave the child on their own, but you should never do this. The person at the door will come back another time and the person on the phone will ring back.
As well as being alert and vigilant in the bathroom, there are things you can do to the bathroom to make it safer, such as getting a non-slip bath mat, as the bath is very slippery.
