Design your family bathroom
A family bathroom needs to take the interests of each generation into consideration. You’ll also want your bathroom to look attractive. We have put together some ideas and tips to help you create a modern and cosy atmosphere for all the family in your bathroom.
First and foremost, a bathroom that is used by the whole family needs to be as practical as possible. Important features in a family-friendly bathroom include a large washbasin or a two washbasins in high-quality ceramic with a smooth sealed surface, a comfortable shower or bath and seats. Practical cabinets and shelves provide space for towels and bathroom accessories. Finally, high-quality, easy-care tiles will ensure that the bathroom is easy to clean.
Safety is a particularly important concern when designing a family bathroom. If children or older people use the bathroom too, various safety precautions are advisable.
Greater functionality for the family bathroom
The top priority in a family bathroom is functionality. A mirror cabinet can provide space to store styling products, cosmetics and toiletries. Stools and seats in the bathroom make daily grooming routines such as hand washing, moisturising or blow-drying more comfortable. A large washbasin can be used by several family members at the same time. You can find a selection of spacious washbasins for family bathrooms in our range.
If the room is large enough, a bath should be included as well as a shower. It’ll be useful not only for the family’s daily washing routine, but also a great place for children to have fun on a rainy day.
Creating space for children and young people in the bathroom
To ensure your children take pleasure in using the family bathroom too, it’s important to take their wishes and needs into account. For example, give each family member their own cabinet for their personal items and care products. This will help keep the bathroom tidy too. To avoid towel chaos, it’s a good idea to give each person a different colour of towel and their own hook or towel holder.
Young children love pretty decorations in the bathroom. These can be colourful pictures, bath ducks or even animal-shaped soap dispensers. These little touches will make the family bathroom a welcoming space for even the tiniest tots.
Space and order in a family bathroom
Sufficient storage space is very important in a family bathroom. Avoiding bathroom clutter is so much easier with furniture that provides clever organisation solutions and generous storage space in cupboards and drawers. A large washbasin is another valuable addition as it means several people can brush their teeth at the same time on busy mornings, putting an end to their grumbling!
Large washbasins and bathroom furniture
To avoid delays in the bathroom before work and school in the morning, a large washbasin is very useful. It will provide enough space for several people to get washed or brush their teeth. Special step stools or bath stools are another useful solution to help young children use the washbasin on their own. To prevent falls, make sure they are stable and non-slip. If you have enough space in your bathroom, children's washbasins with a lower height and toilets with child-friendly seats are an option too.
