Kids Bathroom Decorating: Bath Time is Fun Time 

 

 

 

There are many different bathroom decorating ideas for changing the look and style of any bathroom.   Kids bathroom decorating is especially enjoyable as there is normally a theme to the bathroom that makes it a fun and exciting place for the children to be in.   Depending on the age of the child, kids bathroom decorating ideas can range from action figures like Transformers to Sesame Street characters, favorite animals or favorite colors. 

 

Choices and Styles 

 

One of the first things to consider when looking at kids bathroom decorating is to take into account the size of the bathroom and the furniture and cabinetry that is currently in it.   This is always the starting place for any home decor project, to look at what a room has and then build on that.   The next thing is to balance how much the parent wants the bathroom to look like a child’s bathroom and to consider the child’s tastes. Often the child's bathroom doubles as the bathroom for guests and the parents may not want it to have ducks or tigers all over it.   In other cases, the bathroom may be tied to the child's room in which case the kids bathroom decorating decisions do not need to take company into account.  

 

If the bathroom is a smaller one, as is usually the case when dealing with kids bathroom decorating, colors that are light and not too bold should be used. This allows the bathroom space to feel bigger and also allows themed accents to be used without having much of an issue matching them to the color of the room. There are many varieties of wallpaper trims that have cute or funky designs on them that can add a fun touch to kids bathroom decorating. Take a look at  which has a great variety of mural and themed wallpapers. Stenciling is another great kids bathroom decorating idea that can be used on white cabinets or around the top of the wall to give a fun feel to kids wall decoration.  

 

 

 

Another easy option to add to a theme in kids bathroom decoration is to buy towels in the colors that the child likes and to find some that have pictures or other designs that fit the theme of the room and the child’s tastes.  In addition, there are many small things such as toothbrush holders, soap dishes, soap dispensers, and other counter items that can be bought with certain patterns or characters to fit the kids bathroom decorating theme.  Toilet covers and bath mats are other options to add small touches to the bathroom for a minimal cost.  If storage is an issue, corner shelving, over the toilet cabinets, and small floor cabinets are good ways to add storage to a small bathroom space and to create more options for the child.
