Bathroom Decorating Ideas and Tips for Kids

Expert AuthorYour kids’ bathroom needs help. Trends have changed, but that bathroom decor is still the same as it was when the kids were small. Rubber duckies still adorn the shower curtain, and the small mirror above the vanity is surrounded with more duckies. There are even two framed pictures of rubber duckies on the walls. That was fine when the kids were 3-year olds, but now they are entering preteen years.

Kids’ bathroom decorating ideas and tips will sometimes help you choose two or three themes to get you started on bathroom decorating. Here are a few examples.

Kids’ Bathroom Decorating Idea #1

Turn your bathroom into a spa retreat. Use bamboo for waste baskets and baskets for loofas, sponges, etc. Paint the walls in a soothing tan or sage green. If you are renting and must live with white walls, hang large photos or pictures of bamboo forests. Hang green, trailing plants. If the bathroom has no sunlight, bathroom decorating should incorporate quality silk plants that will withstand moisture. Choose towel sets in restful green and tan shades.

Kids’ Bathroom Decorating Idea #2

For girls, think lights, chic colors, and shiny mirrors. Bathroom decorating for girls should create a place they will enjoy sharing with friends who visit. Start with a modern rosy-tan pastel sink on long, sleek legs. Paint all walls except the sink wall the same rosy-tan shade. Paint the sink wall a rich, rosy pink to highlight the sink. Use lime green floor tiles, a mixture of lime green and pink tiles on the shower. Place an unframed, shiny round mirror above the sink. Flank it with wall lights. Accent with hot pink and red accessories.

Kids’ Bathroom Decorating Idea #3

For boys, use a retro modern bathroom decorating style with bold colors. White fixtures and walls highlight bold blues for a clean, fresh look. Greens, yellows, and reds accent the main blue and white theme. Hang an orange, green, and yellow “Meta Plasma” medicine cabinet cube above the sink. Flank it with mirrors framed in bright blue. Use the same blue for shower curtain, towels, and bath mat. Accent with toothbrush holder, soap dish, waste basket and other accessories in re, green, and yellow. Hang a bold, multi-color ball clock so the kids will always be ready on time.
