Family bathrooms are busy places, where people come and go throughout the day – fighting over shower time in the morning and wrestling over teeth brushing before bed. If you are looking to upgrade your family bathroom, we, at Designs for Life, have some handy tips for busy West Lancashire families.
Make dedicated spaces
Organisation is key and making sure everything has its own dedicated space can also make the cleaning so much easier.Your starting point when redesigning your bathroom should be to list everything it needs to contain, from the bathtub to your hand soap, and to make sure that every item has a home.
Ensure it’s easy to clean
Cleaning the bathroom is never a favourite task, but it can be made significantly easier with thoughtful design. Hidden away nooks and crannies that gather dust are no-no’s. Use materials that are easy to wipe down and won’t be badly affected by the high humidity, and trying to keep surfaces clear, can make a big difference too.
Make it bright and fun
It is important for those with young children, that the bathroom is a fun and inviting space. By introducing pops of colour and fun design elements, you can make it a space that’s easier to spend a long time in, rather than a room purely built for function.
Ensure it’s functional
It doesn’t matter how elegant your space is, if it doesn’t function well for your family’s needs, then it won’t work long-term. Consider where you can store important things out of a child’s
reach or whether someone in your family needs the bathroom to be more accessible. Taking every person’s needs into account and how best to meet them, means it’ll be a room that truly works
for your family.
