5 Great Ideas To Create An Inviting Family Bathroom
When you’re sharing a bathroom with the whole family, it’s important to maximise the design so that it will work with adults and kids alike. Here are few nifty ideas to help you create a stylish and inviting family bathroom that everyone will love.
Storage is king
When you have a mix of people using one central bathroom, storage becomes vital to house everyone’s things – from toiletries and facial products to bath toys, towels and more. Keep things clean and uncluttered with ample storage. Be sure to use all those underutilized nooks to maximise the space. Add baskets and hooks for hanging things off the ground and be sure in maximise your bathroom vanity with added shelving for all the essentials your family needs.
Keep it simple
If you want a bathroom that works in favour of the entire family – keep it clean and crisp with a modern design. Add colour in loose furnishings such as towels and accessories which you can change and swop out according to your needs. This way, the base colour and materials of your bathroom remain neutral and won’t easily date.
Spice things up with a modern backsplash
A backsplash is not just a trendy item in the bathroom. Besides adding colour and texture to this space it is also functional – protecting your walls and surfaces from humidity and excess water that can cause damage.
Why not go for a modern look with hexagonal tiles or a splash of bright colours to bring some vibrancy to the family bathroom.
Durability is so important
If you want to get the most out of your bathroom, do not skimp on the finishes. Opt for durable and hard-wearing materials that will stand the test of time. Tiles are common in the bathroom – because they are easy to clean, low maintenance and super durable for all those family splashes!
Stone, concrete and ceramics are also great options for the bathroom. Chat with a bathroom designer about your options and choose the best quality materials you can afford for your bathroom.
Add your own personal style
Add some personal flair to your bathroom and personalise the space for your family. It need not be a sterile space. Add a stylish chandelier or some wall art and bring a retro or vintage style to this space. Choose a cooling colour for the walls and be sure to splash out on luxury finishes for a spa-like feel in your family bathroom.
