Decorating and Accessorizing a Bathroom For Kids
When decorating a kids bathroom considering what the child’s enjoyments are and how you can best fit bathroom accessories and other bath décor items into the theme. If your child is into cars, animals, sports, flowers or anything else first look at the bathroom you will be decorating and see what it can hold. Look for bath accessories that have the same theme such as a matching lotion pump, soap dish, bathtub soap dispenser, wastebasket, tissue box cover and toothbrush holders.
Wallpaper borders can really bring the theme together whether it is placed on one wall or entirely around the room where the wall meets the ceiling. Decorative bath towels pull double duty in that the towels can be used as a decorative wall accessory yet are functional. If your budget does not allow for all of the bathroom accessories to be purchased consider where you need or really want the same themed items in the bathroom. For instance; if you have a themed shower curtain consider a few counter top accessory pieces for your child. Simply placing a toothbrush holder and a soap dish or lotion pump dispenser on the counter will carry the selected theme to the sink cabinet space. To stay within budget even more consider a bath tumbler that can be used for both a water glass and a toothbrush holder.
Adding a wallpaper border and a matching bath rug will pull the eye from ceiling to floor creating a well put together bath. Using a decorative hand towel with the same theme and possibly a bath towel to hang on a towel bar mounted on the wall will also allow you the freedom to bring in solid colored towels that match the design of the decorative towels. Shower Curtains can double as a window treatment with little effort by simply trimming and hemming the curtain to the proper length and finishing the look with shower curtain hooks. If space in the room allows consider a basket in the corner for storing extra towels or toys. You can also bring in a few of your child’s cherished collectibles or personal accessories but be careful where the items are placed as airborne moisture could possibly damage the items. Just remember the bathroom, especially a kid’s bathroom, needs to withstand the heavy dowsing from sinks, bathtubs and showers not to mention the unknown dirt children will introduce to the room.
Remember to use sound judgment when decorating a bathroom for a child; use bath accessories appropriate for the age of the child. Many of the accessory bath pieces are made of resin or plastic – a smart choice for younger children. The most important element in decorating a bathroom for use by a kid is to have fun and use your imagination as well as your child’s.
