Totally Chic Kids Bathroom

Totally Chic Kids Bathroom

If themes aren't your preference, or your kiddo's commode also doubles as a guest bathroom, you can still make it kid-friendly by incorporating fun colors and patterns into the decor. Take a cue from this chic girl's bathroom, with an ornate mirror and towel rack painted in light blue and coral, both sophisticated touches. A personalized wastebasket and polka-dot curtains add a touch of bath-time fun!

Kid-Friendly Bathroom Upgrade

Kid-Friendly Bathroom Upgrade

Sometimes a few minor changes are all you need to make your second bathroom a kid-approved space. New cabinet knobs, a green Ikea Barnslig Mirror ($35), and green bath accessories won't cost mama much but will make a big impact in her kiddo's bathroom!

Mediterranean-Style Girls Bathroom

Mediterranean-Style Girls Bathroom

Design inspiration from across the globe! This Mediterranean-style girls bathroom, in a pink and blue color palette, is refreshing and elegant. The lotus flower shower curtain looks sophisticated against the blue walls and simple tile, while bright pink towels tie the room together perfectly. This is a bathroom that mom and daughter will both love!

Under the Sea Decals

Under the Sea Decals

Create an underwater scene on the bathroom walls with decals — like this Under the Sea Wall Decal Mural Set ($80), including dolphins, whales, octopuses, and turtles! Your tot will have lots of fun splish-splashing along with his favorite underwater creatures.

Bathroom Art For Kids

Bathroom Art For Kids

If mom and dad are also sharing a bathroom with the kids, perhaps a Dr. Seuss theme is not the way to go — but you can still have some fun with your bathroom decor. Make your shared space more kid-friendly by incorporating wall art that will appeal to your kids, like this Set of Four Underwater Creature Prints ($47).

Beachy Bathroom

Beachy Bathroom

Beach themes for bathrooms are always very popular with the kids — they're super-fun and easy to pull off. A few colorful bath accessories and a paint stencil lend a tropical feel in a tot's washroom.

A Shared Kids Bathroom

A Shared Kids Bathroom

When girls and boys share spaces, it's hard to make everyone happy, but this shared bathroom has some great ideas on how to create a gender-neutral space for all. A sage wall color and yellow accents — we spy a West Elm Stripe Shower Curtain ($31, originally $39) — keep things neutral and modern. Canvases done by the kids — in colors that mommy chose to match the color scheme — provide art for the bathroom, while numbered hooks make a fun place to hang towels.

Use a Peg Board For Bathroom Storage

Use a Peg Board For Bathroom Storage

Peg boards are common in classrooms, so why not use them at home? Martha Stewart suggests using them in the bathroom to keep toys and towels off the floor. Attach wire baskets, pegs, and hooks to the board to store bath toys (it will help them dry between baths too), hang towels, and even keep a toothbrush from falling in the sink.

Rubber duckies are fun in the tub, but on the tub wall?! Now that's a serious statement.
