Kids grow up fast. Before you know it, the toddler who followed your every move will be a teen with their own unique style and newfound independence. But designing a bathroom to take your child from preschool to high school doesn’t have to be daunting. Here are our top kids’ bathroom ideas to get you inspired:
A bathroom has three main elements: a vanity, shower/tub, and toilet. The key to each is versatility and durability. Will it work for baby’s bath time? How about the morning routines of a high schooler? Choose excellent quality basics that will be along for every stage.
The right vanity can make or break a functional kids’ bathroom. For this frequently used fixture, focus on durability. Vanities constructed from hardwearing materials like teak or bamboo are ideal choices, as these naturally resist moisture—perfect for those inevitable spills and splashes.
Tip: A durable kids’ bathroom vanity isn’t complete without soft-closing hinges and slides. These built-in features prevent slamming, which not only eliminates noise but protects the vanity’s frame when used by small-yet-mighty door shutters.
The next key factor is storage. You’ll want plenty of hidden storage, striking the perfect balance between shared and individual space. This will be specific to your bathroom’s needs, dependent on the number of users and overlap of shared toiletries. Many storage-savvy vanities have these needs in mind, designed with an endless variety of combinations.
For a shared family bathroom or those used among multiple children, your best bet for functionality is a double sink vanity. These will, fingers crossed, prevent a line for the sink or mirror when multiple people are getting ready at once.
Lastly, consider your vanity’s height. If this bathroom is just for kids, consider installing a wall-mount or floating vanity. With the standard vanity sitting at 32" on the shorter end of the spectrum, your child may have trouble reaching the faucet comfortably. With a floating vanity, you can customize its height to the child, and even raise it when they get taller.
When designing the bath layout in a kids’ bathroom, you’ll want to consider bath time as well as showering when they get older. As opposed to a freestanding tub or walk-in shower, for longevity we recommend a tub-shower combo.
This setup accommodates baths and showers seamlessly, requiring an alcove tub that utilizes three walls and a shower system that includes a tub faucet. Alcove tubs are most widely available in acrylic, which is a lightweight, low maintenance, versatile, and affordable option compared to other tub materials.
To make washing up (not to mention cleaning up) a breeze, include a convenient handheld shower head, or hand shower, which features a long, flexible hose and a precise sprayer—no need to keep a giant cup nearby for rinsing. This addition will transition seamlessly into showers as your child gets older, too.
While it may seem like all toilets are created equal, hear us out. For kids’ bathrooms, we recommend the one-piece toilet, which features a tank and bowl as one solid piece. This modern design has fewer gaps and crevices for dust and debris (to put it lightly) to hide compared to the standard two-piece toilet, making cleaning much more straightforward.
Tip: When it comes to height, opt for a toilet with a 14" to 16" height. Anything taller may be a bit tricky, and potentially unsafe, for your young one to reach even with a step stool.
In addition to a one-piece option, you could opt for a wall-hung toilet as well. Like wall-mount vanities, these offer a floating silhouette, with about a 5" range for customizing its height. With space open below the toilet and the tank carrier concealed behind the wall, this may just be the easiest toilet to keep clean.
And though it may take a bit of practice for your child to get the hang of, consider a smart toilet, with benefits that are worth the learning curve. Especially accommodating in a kids’ bathroom, smart toilets feature automatic flushing, night lights, and bidet functionality that keeps things hygienic when wiping is not yet sufficient. Need we say more?
If a full-on smart toilet isn’t in the cards, you can easily attach a bidet seat onto your current toilet to add those convenient features.
If nothing else, don’t forget the slow-closing toilet seat to prevent slamming and potential damage to your toilet.
Tip: If your kiddo is at or approaching the potty-training phase, while they learn to use the bathroom independently, encourage them by making lights, towels, toilet paper, soap, and a step stool easily accessible.
Eye-catching accents add a pop of personality and are simple to update as your child’s needs and style preferences evolve. Here are a few ideas to try with your kids’ bathroom decor.
Get creative with your bathroom mirror. These present an opportunity to be playful with unique bathroom mirrors, so go for asymmetrical shapes or funky frames that your kid will love getting ready in front of. Try out creative placements, too, so they can easily see themselves if the mirror above the sink is too high.
For bonus functionality, consider lighted mirrors, which frame your mirror in a halo of light for optimal precision. If your child doesn’t require much precision in their routine yet, they might just love the touch-sensor controls.
Tip: If additional storage is desired, opt for a medicine cabinet for storing bandages and other childhood necessities that only grownups can reach.
Cabinet knobs and pulls lend a personal touch. With limitless options available, these little details go a long way in making any vanity feel like it's their style. For minimal maintenance, we love how finishes like matte black and brushed metals cleverly conceal fingerprints, smudges, and water spots.
When it comes to bath accessories like towel bars and hooks (along with larger fixtures) take advantage of bathroom collections, which offer seamless cohesion that’s already curated for you. Easy to raise as they age, growing taller than these fixtures is usually a good indication it's time for an adjustment.
What better way to put your child’s personality on display than with open shelving? Use bathroom shelves for their favorite toys when they’re younger, artwork when they’re a bit older, and everyday essentials when they reach their teen years.
Choosing the right tub-shower enclosure is essential for a functional kids’ bathroom. While glass doors look stunning at first, keeping them clean in a kids’ bathroom can be a pain. Plus, they can get in the way during bath time. Instead, go the shower curtain route.
Easy to slide out of the way and toss in the washer, shower curtains are offered in endless options and price points, making these easy to customize to the style of the bathroom and, eventually, swap out as that style matures.
