Children’s bathrooms need to be fun. Kids love splashing in the bath, playing with their toys and generally making a mess.

Their bathroom should reflect their sense of fun. While you may want it as a place to relax in and while the time away, this is exactly what most children loathe. So forget the neutral tones, soft lighting and complemented bathroom accessories and start thinking colour and themes.

A bold Caribbean blue is a perfect colour for a children’s bathroom. Forget the ‘blue is for boys’ nonsense, blue is an ideal colour for both gender, especially when accompanied by a glossy white painted skirting board.

Make it into a nautical theme, fit shower curtains with pictures of boats, maybe. Rubber bathmats in white would continue the theme. Striped towels of blue and white could complement the blue shelves on which wooden toy boats could sit after use.

Alternatively, a bright spring green would suggest a natural outdoor theme, with frogs and birds stencilled on the bathroom walls. Bathmats in bright yellow would enhance the look, with towels to match.

Another good combination is dark-orange on one wall and pillar-box red on the other. Charcoal-grey or deep azure-blue shelving would be the ideal complement.

Remember that a lot of splashing is involved; so laminated flooring is a must. Soft, warm and easy to clean, it is a far better and safer bet than bathroom tiles or stone.

Play around with colours. Even splash painting looks good in a child’s bathroom. Remember it is their bathroom, not yours.
