Kids Bathroom Ideas

Bathroom Ideas for Kids are fun and easy to do, and why do I think they are easy, well because they come from the kids themselves. Get yourself a pen and paper and sit down with your kids and ask them a few questions or maybe you already know the answers your self. First rule of thumb is NEVER ask the kids “Hey John and Mike we are going to decorate the bathroom what would you like to do?”  Why because they are children and you will get all sorts of colors and ideas that might be amazing, but then might also start a fight and confuse the heck out of you. So okay now I hear you asking what questions should I ask them? Well let me give you a list that will give you many kids bathroom ideas:

1. What are your favorite colors?
2. What are your favorite TV shows or movies?
3. What kind of things do you like to do?

Okay that is enough to get you up and going. Now take the ideas the kids gave you and put them together. First, what is your favorite color? If you have one child it is easier, of course if you have more then one things get a little more interesting. Let’s stick with John and Mike for our examples and say that john likes blue and Mike likes green. Great now you have the colors for the bathroom. Two colors can be fun. You can go one of two ways. Number one would be stripes, paint the whole room blue and then when dry, tape off sections for stripes and paint just those green. My suggestion would be that if you have a small bathroom then go with light colors. You can get some paint chips of different colors you like (after all it is still your house.) from the blue and green family and ask Mike to pick the green he likes and John to pick the blue.

The second way to go is to find a border you like and paint the top half of your wall green and the bottom half blue and when the paint is dry use the border like a chair rail to cover where the two colors meet. What borders do I pick?  Well that should go along with the theme and we will address that shortly.

Question number two was, what are your favorite TV shows or movies? Okay here depending on how old you kids are you may have to help a little. If they give you seven different shows and movies well you may have to narrow it down a little. Say the boys like the movie cars, well that is easy. You can get borders for the movie cars generally at Home Depot or most home improvement centers, or if you like you can order them on line. Shower curtains are fun and there are also many themed that you can choose from or if one does not fit what you want then pick one with fun colors that of course fit the colors you already chose as paint colors

The final question, what kind of things do you like to do? Go to the beach, play ball, walk the dog. What ever it is you pick a few and run with it. You can go to your local craft store and find soaps that you can make into shapes. Sponges that can me cut into shapes. Your toy store or dollar store will have blow up balls or fish, lots of different fun bath toys. For your sanity later on I would also purchase a tub or bucket of some sort to put all the toys in and always enforce the rule that all bath toys must be put away when bath time is done.

You can always do as much or as little as you want. There are bathroom rugs, curtains, bathtub stick-ons poster for the walls. There is a great on line store http://www.allposters.com they are not to expensive and have almost anything you can think of. The sky is the limit and your kids will think you are brilliant.
