A bathroom is a room that is rarely empty: after all, here begins and ends the day of each of us. Therefore, it is important to create conditions in it that are comfortable for all family members, from the youngest to the oldest. We tell you how to make a bathroom as adapted as possible to the needs of all the inhabitants of the house.
1. Bright curtain against gray everyday life
Sometimes getting a child to go to the bathroom is not an easy task. Have you ever wondered that one of the possible reasons for resistance is that the baby is bored in this room? Solid walls, lack of decor … You can easily revive the interior with a bright curtain. Give your child a choice in the store. Perhaps the kid will like a curtain with his favorite cartoon characters or a colorful landscape. After that, his attitude to water procedures will definitely change for the better..
2. Children’s toys turn into … decor
Taking a bath with your favorite toys is a pleasure for a child. But regularly bringing baby’s little things to the bathroom and then collecting is an activity that does not give parents pleasure. The situation is complicated by the fact that, in the opinion of adults, children’s toys often violate the harmony of the bathroom interior. Therefore, it is worth spending a little more time choosing toys and focusing on those that can decorate the interior. Another option is to purchase a drawstring pouch made of waterproof material for snoring toys. It can be suspended from a crane.
3. Hooks attached at different heights
Wet towels and bathrobes lying on the bathroom floor do not add to the neat atmosphere. To avoid chaos, attach wall hooks at different heights so that children can easily reach the lower ones. This will teach kids to order in the bathroom, and will relieve adults from the petty but annoying worry about hanging children’s things..
4. Colored identification marks
The confusion with towels in the bathroom is annoying – you definitely have to think about which one to take, especially when several people use the room. There is an easy way to make a difference. Have each family member choose a specific color of the towel that only he or she will use. You can also attach one specific hook for each inhabitant of the house.
5. Safe taps
Traditional taps with two separate valves for hot and cold water are a common but not entirely safe option. Using single-lever taps allows hot and cold water to be mixed faster, minimizing the risk of burns. In addition, it is much easier for a child to raise and lower the lever than to turn the valves with wet hands. Modern models of single-lever taps are equipped with thermostats that allow you to maintain the water temperature at a given level. Having adjusted the temperature once, you don’t have to worry about it changing suddenly.
6. Liquid instead of solid
Washing your baby’s hands with a slippery bar of soap can be a real challenge. There is an alternative – this is liquid soap. It will be much more convenient for a child to press the dispenser once and receive a portion of the washing liquid than to wash their hands while being careful not to drop the soap. In addition, bacteria build up on solid soaps..
7. Items of secondary importance – by boxes
The bathroom is a real magnet for bubbles, bottles and bottles, not to mention towels and bathrobes. Finding a certain thing becomes a difficult and time-consuming task. Therefore, if the interior of the bathroom implies the presence of a shelf, chest of drawers or shelving, try placing several boxes there. Stick each label with an explanation of its contents: «creams», «towels» etc. Now the problem of storing things you need in the bathroom, but not used often, has been solved.
8. Necessary – in sight
Closed lockers are required. But the interior of the bathroom will only benefit if you add several open storage systems to it, for example, laconic shelves. Here you can not only store things that are used most often, but also place beautiful decor – candles, shells … Open shelves will save time searching for what you need: it is much easier to take a thing from a prominent place than to look for it in the secluded corners of the bathroom.
9. Step up for the little ones
The smallest family members may need help getting to the sink. But what should a child do if there are no adults nearby, and it is necessary to wash their hands? Especially for such cases, parents should take care of the presence of an object that the baby can climb on to get closer to the sink. Regular stools can be dangerous, so we recommend that you pay attention to more stable counterparts. Special coasters can be found in children’s stores. Some even come with a small storage box for toys..
10. Cute rug for complete safety
Puddles on the bathroom floor are common. Place a rug on the floor to keep your baby safe from falling. The larger its size, the better. In addition, the bright rug will brighten the bathroom interior..
