We are used to sharing the bathroom with the little ones in the house. However, their needs are different from ours and they need a place that adapts to their needs in which they can learn hygiene and grooming habits in a totally comfortable and safe way.
As children grow, they gain autonomy and independence when it comes to going to the bathroom. As Laura Pérez, product manager for bathroom accessories and accessories at Leroy Merlín points out , it is important to adapt the furniture to its size and ensure that they have the necessary elements to carry out routines easily and guaranteeing their safety.
A non-slip step that helps them reach the sink or toilet faucet, a reducing lid for the toilet or a handle for the bathtub are some of the elements that will facilitate their day to day in the bathroom. But the atmosphere must also be pleasant and welcoming for them, which is achieved by betting on fun, cheerful and brightly colored pieces.
Here are ten ideas to turn the bathroom into 'child's play'.
Creating well-differentiated areas is key if several siblings will use the bathroom at the same time, in the same way that it is important that the chosen equipment adapts perfectly to the different stages of growth of the little ones. Villeroy & Boch knows this well and that is why the O. Novo kids series easily meets all these premises.
Both functional steps and a simple stool will allow the smallest of the house to access the bathtub or the courtesy area without problem, which will help them gain confidence in themselves. These models are from Leroy Merlin .
A good way for children to learn to go to the bathroom on their own is to opt for small children's toilets. This is the case of Baby, from Roca , which, with a height of 35 cm, will provide them with a more comfortable and safe use, thus increasing their personal autonomy.
Color is essential in children's bathrooms. It can be found in the textile elements, in the accessories, on the countertops or on the top and seat of the Baby WC toilets, by Gala . Pastel pink, sky blue, yellow and white are the different options.
The partitionable door screens are very useful in homes with children, as they can be opened completely or in parts, which allows them to help them in the daily shower without ending up soaked. Therefore it is very practical model Duscho Family II, Duscholux .
Equipped with two types of jet, the Grohe Rainshower Icon model also has Grohe EcoJoy technology, which translates into significant water savings with maximum well-being. But the best thing is that it is available in varied and cheerful colors, so the little ones can choose their favorite.
Getting the little ones to go to the bathroom alone will be very easy if they are cheerful and proportionate to their size. That is why at Unisan they design underbasins with drawers in blue and yellow -with matching soap dish, coasters and mirror-, sinks measuring only 43 x 38 cm, toilets with colored seats and lids, and fun toilet paper holders in the shapes of kite.
Cozy, imaginative and fun. This is how children's bathrooms should be, which will make the daily routines of the little ones more comfortable and pleasant. In line with this, Laufen has designed the Florakids series, with small toilets, sinks that lack corners, mirrors in the shape of a flower or a caterpillar, taps with colored handles - red or green - and perfect shelves to place all the hygiene products.
Thermostatic taps are very suitable in children's bathrooms. Why? Because they always remain cool to the touch and because they keep the water temperature constant. That model is included in Grohe's Grohtherm 1000 Performance series.
Installing the toilet at the height of children is decisive for them to gain safety and be autonomous. And if, in addition, you choose a model with a cover and a handle with a fun design and bright colors, success is more than assured. A good example of this is the Contour 21 toilet, from Ideal Standard , which has them in red, yellow and blue.
