For adults, the world can be dealt with all its intricate and complicate designs. But for kids, simplicity is the best thing that should be offered. Anything that pertains to the growing child should be simple, yet innocently beautiful. That is what attracts the attention of a child and makes them more comfortable with their surroundings. For example, designing a kid’s room would put the designer in a fix unless the designer gets a little glimpse of the kind of personality that the kid has. The same rule applies to choosing bathroom vanity for a kid’s room. Your primary objective should be to make the space synchronous with the kid’s own self so that s/he doesn’t feel alienated.
Designing a Kid’s Bathroom
At first, you need to focus on the style and theme, if any, that you have in mind for the bathroom, and then mould the key areas, as mentioned below, accordingly;
- Bathroom vanity
- Bathroom sink units
- Faucets
- Flooring
- Wall Color
- Mirrors
- Cabinets
- Fixtures
- Toiletries
- Lighting
Keeping in mind that you are designing a kid’s bathroom vanity , the prime objective should be to make it a bright and colorful place. Also, the bathroom should stock things of daily use at reachable heights and distances, which the kid can easily use and put back. Another important thing is to ensure that materials used are not prone to breaking and causing harm to the kids. After you have made this checklist, you may proceed to choose the kind of sink units that you want for your kid’s bathroom.
Making Choices: Sink units
Sink units for the children’s bathroom should be fixed at a proper height so that they can reach it without any hassle and use it. Therefore, mirrors should be fixed accordingly. As the child is growing and you do not want to splurge on your bathroom over and over again, you may provide a standing stool in there so that the kid can stand and use the sink. Make sure that such stands are fixed and do not slip causing your child to get hurt in the process. It is better to use bathroom sink cabinets below the sink as that would make it ‘reachable’ all the time. You can make separate partitions inside, so that kids can store their toiletries and things like towels and toilet papers inside them. Make your kid feel self-sufficient and design your bathroom in such a way that they can handle all their needs by themselves, requiring little or no help from you or other adults at home.
From Sinks to Walls: Making it colorful
Adults often forget that they are designing a kid’s bathroom, and end up making it a bland classy bathroom that kids can’t identify with. Kids always like colorful things, which is what a kid’s bathroom should have. So, adding color and fun elements to the bathroom would make it a better place. Color it with bright pastels and use the same colors while choosing the kid’s bathing robes and towels too. The shower curtain may be customized with their favorite cartoon character’s prints. Similarly, the sink may not have to be always white! Use colors and add a different zing to the place. For sure, your kids would like it with glee!
Use sinks units that are durable. Children are prone to breaking things and thus, it is important for you to ensure the safety of your kids as well as the things you have purchased to adorn the bathroom.
So, search for bathroom sink units, bathroom vanity, and other accessories to glam it up so that your kid would enjoy using the bathroom.
