Double Vanities

Any parent knows that when you have multiple kids sharing one bathroom, chaos ensues—especially when everyone is trying to get ready in the morning and you're already running late. With two separate vanity stations, this bathroom allows two kids to brush teeth at the same time, cutting down on time spent waiting and fighting during the morning routine.

Double Faucets

If you love the idea of two vanities but don't have the space in your bathroom, look for a larger sink—such as a trough sink—with multiple faucets. It's a great way to create at least two teeth-brushing stations without the extra cabinetry.

Multiple Hooks

If you have multiple kids sharing a bathroom, extra towel hooks are a must. This handy wall of hooks gives each kid a spot for their towel, so there's no excuse for leaving towels on the floor!

Step Stool

Low-standing sinks in public restrooms make it easy for little ones to wash their hands, but they're not really practical for a home bathroom. Instead, add a step stool to help your tots reach the sink. And it doesn't have to be a big, clunky plastic one. We love the sleek, wooden step stool in this contemporary bathroom.

Pull-Out Step

If you don't want a step stool getting in the way underfoot, you can create a secret pull-out step. The step in this bathroom slides out from the bottom drawer, and then a special lid goes on top and supports up to 90 pounds. When the child grows, the top can be removed and the drawer can be used again. Genius.

Open Shelving

Bathroom cabinets sometimes need to be locked to keep chemicals and cleaning supplies out of reach of small hands. If you need more space for your kids' bath items, look for a vanity with both open and closed storage. This bathroom has a low open shelf so little ones can easily reach for a fresh towel.

Storage Baskets

If you don't have an under-sink vanity or cabinets, invest in storage baskets. They're a godsend for picking up bath toys and keeping them out of sight when company comes over.

Extra Built-Ins

Most modern, tiled showers have a few built-ins for soap and shampoo, but they're normally designed to be eye-level for adults. We love that this bathroom features a low cubby just for kids' bath toys.

Recessed Lockers

In a bathroom that accommodates multiple kiddos, lockers can be a great solution for keeping their towels, toys and toiletries separate. In this space featured in HGTV Magazine, vintage lockers are recessed into the wall so they don't take up valuable floor space.

Handy Towel Rack

Pedestal or wall-mounted sinks are ideal for saving space in small bathrooms, but they don't offer as much storage as the typical vanity. This petite sink has a clever built-in towel bar that's the perfect height for a child.

Pivoting Mirror

A mirror that tilts is a helpful feature to have in a kid's bathroom; it can be adjusted as they grow to give them an optimal view for brushing teeth or combing hair. In this space featured in HGTV Magazine, a chrome pivot mirror is paired with a white subway tile backsplash and a sky-blue sconce for a light, airy look.

Fanciful Lighting

If your child's bathroom is also the hall or guest bathroom, you likely want it to look presentable for adults and not scream kid's bathroom when they walk in. Funky lighting is a great way to have fun without going overboard on the kid stuff. We love these hanging neon clouds; they're funky yet stylish for a hall bath but super fun and whimsical for kids.

Creative Wall Art

Think beyond store-bought wall art to give your kid's bathroom a one-of-a-kind look. A framed vintage lifeguard uniform is an unexpected touch in this beach-themed bath.

Pops of Color

You don't have to go overboard with a theme in a child's bathroom. Just a few splashes of color can be fun and playful, like the monochromatic green accents in this space.

Colorful Curtain

Hanging a fun shower curtain is a simple, inexpensive way to add color and pattern to a kid's bathroom. A rainbow-printed curtain livens up this all-white space and can easily be swapped out as the child's tastes change.

Revamped Vanity

Revive a tired old vanity in your kid's bathroom by painting it in their favorite color. In this space, a soft shade of pink pulled from the patterned wallpaper perks up the vanity.

Eye-Catching Countertop

If your kiddo wants lots of color but you don't want to paint the walls or the cabinets, consider a vibrant countertop. A hot pink quartz countertop makes a bold statement in this otherwise crisp, white bathroom.

Funky Pedestal Sink

A pedestal sink is also a great place to incorporate color in a kid's bathroom. They're pretty easy to install and one of our favorite DIYs for updating a bathroom.

Vibrant Fixtures

If you're renting and can't make permanent changes to your child's bathroom, swapping the fixtures is a temporary way to have fun with color. This bright orange faucet adds a touch of whimsy to an otherwise neutral space.

Fun Wallpaper

Let your kid or tween showcase their personality and express themselves with a bold wallpaper. If you're having flashbacks to a horrific experience removing wallpaper, don't worry—wallpaper has come a long way, and these days there are tons of removable options.

Painted Polka Dots

If you don't want to install wallpaper in your child's bathroom, consider getting creative with a paintbrush instead to add playful color and pattern. Recreate this look in your home by freehand painting polka dots on the walls—any imperfections just add to the charm. When your child outgrows the look, you can easily paint over them.

Ceiling Mural

A statement mural is another option for adding interest to the walls in your child's bathroom. We love the way this teen bathroom made use of the awkward, slanted ceiling with a painted diving sign that ties into the room's beach theme.

Whimsical Hooks

If you've got a kid and a teen sharing one bathroom, styles can clash, but you can add little details that appease both parties. This stylish bathroom smartly pairs a modern Scandinavian-inspired shower curtain with a bright lemon-colored wall and whimsical animal hooks.

Charming Hardware

If you want to add some kid-friendly color to your bathroom on a budget, try swapping out the hardware. Turquoise knobs liven up the classic white cabinets in this bathroom; a matching tray, window shade and towels complete the look.

Pattern on Pattern

Even if your decorating style is subdued overall, a kid's bathroom is the perfect spot to get a little daring with color and pattern. Vibrant floral wallpaper and window treatments make this space feel fun and fresh, yet not too juvenile—it'll easily serve its young occupants through their teen years.

Hip Theme

Themed kids' bathrooms don't have to be over the top. A robot-print wallpaper with just a few touches of color—plus coordinating framed prints—lend a playful yet understated motif to this bath.

Add a Pouf

Poufs are a great way to add vanity seating without spending big bucks on a chair. Plus, they add youthful color and style without a lot of effort. This basic white bathroom has a bohemian vibe all because of a painting and a pouf.

Neutral Canvas

If you want a space that will transition as a child grows, stick with a neutral canvas. This white, contemporary bathroom wouldn't read kid at all except for the colorful accessories and art, which can be easily switched out when the child gets older.

Shower Bench

A bench in the shower is a feature we typically associate with seniors when designing a bathroom, but it can make bathtime easier for kids, too. It can also serve as a bonus shelf for storing toys.

Stacked Towel Racks

This luxury marble bathroom looks 100% adult, but it actually has several design features that make it perfect for kids. The tub has built-in steps to make it easier for little ones to access, and the wall features stacked towel racks to keep towels easily within reach.
