Having kids is one of the greatest joys in life. However, there’s no denying they have a lot of things. And it can soon feel like they’re taking over the house. You go to have a nice relaxing bath but instead, find your sanctuary taken over by brightly colored toys. Slipping on a toy octopus, watering cans, and spinning toys just ruin any chance you had of an hour or so of uninterrupted bliss. Luckily, all is not lost. In this article, we’ve put together some top tips on how you can create a family-friendly bathroom that still feels relaxing but is practical also. From water-resistant flooring options, to the accessories you choose, there’s plenty to get you inspired. Keep on reading to find out more.
Be Smart With Your Storage
The first thing you need to focus on when creating a multi-faceted functional space is your storage. You don’t want to be lying back in a cloud of lavender-scented bubbles with the views of Baby Shark toys cluttering up your space and mind. Instead, get some stylish storage shelves where you can shut the items away when they’re not in use by the kids but also easily access them when bath time comes around. You could get the kids their own box or fit it in with the shelves you have.
Put Toys on a Rotation
Toys can take up a lot of space, so instead of trying to fit them all in your bathroom, particularly if you have a small bathroom, why not put your toys on rotation? This way, you can store some of the toys they have away in another room, reducing clutter, and then swap them around every other week. Not only does it keep the room less full of toys, but also will make bathtime more fun as they won’t have to continually play with the same toys all of the time. It’s a win-win for all of you!
Focus on Accessories
Just because you have children doesn’t mean you have to give up on having nice embellishments in your bathroom. You can add opulent touches with things such as fluffy towels, candles, and reed diffusers. If you have really little ones, make sure these are kept out of reach so they don’t end up hurting themselves. You should also invest in nice smelling bubble baths, salts, and other accessories that just make it a relaxing haven where you can’t wait to spend time.
These are just a few things you can implement that can help create a family-friendly bathroom that still feels relaxing. When you’re looking to make the ideal compromise between what’s best for your family and a place where you can break away to relax, this should help merge those two functions within a single space a little bit more easily.
