It’s a wonder how, despite all their differences, kids all over the world have one thing in common: their profound hatred of all things that have to do with the bathroom. Thus bath-time tantrums are a staple feature in every household that has a child. Kids small bathroom decorating is an art to package the bathroom such that the child doesn’t dread it.
Most often kids’ bathrooms are small, carved out of the existing floor space. So the primary goal when you are going in for kids small bathroom decorating is to ensure that in your efforts to make it interesting, the room doesn’t end up looking like a junkyard. There are also the safety and tidiness factors to take care off. After all, children are prone to run amok whilst inside the bathroom.
While you let yourself go in your kids small bathroom decorating venture, remember to incorporate such designs and fixtures that are easy to pull down or alter. A motif may look alluring to your child now but it is quite likely that a few years down the line, he/she will outgrow it. Or it may be that you are selling your house and your lovingly constructed Red Indian themed bathroom may well turn out to be the Achilles Heel of the house.

A child’s bathroom needs to be bright and cheerful and the best way to achieve this is with vibrantly painted walls. If it’s a girl’s bathroom then you can’t go wrong with shades of pink, while blue is the color of choice for boys. If you possess a penchant for themed bathrooms then the colors of the walls will reflect the theme, that is to say, turquoise for an underwater theme and deep green for a jungle theme.
Wall decors are another fantastic way to do up the walls perkily. They can be brightly painted toothbrush sets or cute little posters with interesting writings on them.
While you are going about the kid’s small bathroom decorating business, have the shower curtain or the shower enclosure glass panel done up in accordance with the bathroom theme. Thus a floral printed shower curtain can be an ideal inclusion to your pretty princess’s bathroom while vinyl window decals in snazzy themes will perk up the glass panel.
Give your child’s imagination a free rein by letting him/her decorate the glass shower with window “stickies”.
Toilet lid toppers are a great way to jazz up your kid’s bathroom. Machine washable and easily dismantled, these toilet covers come in a range of adorable TV characters like Blues Clues, Dora and SpongeBob to liven up the space.
Look beyond the obvious for design ideas while you are indulging in the kid’s small bathroom decorating business. Have the window curtain shade embellished with a ruffle, tassel edging, pompoms or a wide rick-rack to give the bathroom a cozy look.
Colorful mats, towels personalized with alphabet appliqués and brightly painted knobs in interesting shapes make for some grand kids small bathroom decorating ideas.
Kids small bathroom decorating can be fun. It just requires you to step into your child’s shoes.
