If you’re planning to renovate your bathroom to better accommodate your growing family, you’ll have to consider adding features that meet their needs and specifications. To help you out, here are some tips to keep in mind:

Prioritize Safety in Your Layout

Your shower is one of the busiest areas of your home, so you need to consider adding more safety measures for your children and other family members. Make use of non-slip surfaces, such as porcelain or textured surfaces, to reduce the risk of falls. Also, consider large tiles for children’s bathrooms so that you won’t have to get tired easily when cleaning the grout lines.

You can also improve your bath and shower area experience by adding a graduated step down into the basin or even an extra hand-held shower at your kids’ height to make it easier for them to rinse the shampoo and soap when washing. This also makes cleaning the bath/shower area easier!

Make Your Vanity More Kid-Friendly

The vanity is one of the main focal points of any bathroom design. But if you want it to be easier to access for your children, then you consider lowering its height a little. If this isn’t possible, you can add a lift-out step in your bottom vanity drawer. Your children can easily pull it out like any other drawer when they want to use the vanity to keep them from standing on their toes!

Add More Lighting and Ventilation

Proper lighting is important if you want your new bathroom experience to be perfect. While natural lighting is the best solution, you can always consider adding more artificial lighting as well. You can even add features like dimmers and other specific lighting fixtures to your shower and vanity area. Don’t forget to check if the lighting you’re installing is moisture-proof to prevent accidents.

Ventilation is also needed to keep your bathroom from feeling stuffy. This also keeps it safe and hygienic to use so your children and the rest of your family can feel clean and comfortable whenever they use it. Adequate ventilation will also prevent mold and bacteria from building up, making it easier and less tiring to clean!
