Bear in mind that kids are playful and are prone to slipping and bumping into things even if they are in the bathroom. Place safety products in the bathroom like anti-slipping mats and adhesive pads that stick to the bottom of the tub. Also place drain and faucet covers, you can choose covers that are also decorative. Have a cover clamp for your toilet. Just use plain white so that kids will not be curious in peeping into it and be put to danger.
2. Have a budget.

Before you start buying some decor, choose a concept or a color theme for the bathroom. If the bathroom is connected to your kid’s bedroom, you can have the same concept. Of course, you have to ask your kid what he or she wants for the bathroom so that you will not just be wasting money.

It doesn’t mean that just because you have a theme that you will really fill the bathroom with items that jive to the theme. Use it subtly so that the bathroom will not look too busy and crowded. If you already have lots of accessories and items in that particular theme, you can just paint the walls with a solid color that still matches the theme.
5. Be sure it is well lighted.

Most bathrooms for kids use murals for their walls. You can do that in order to create a good atmosphere. But this is only advisable if your bathroom is huge. Although, you can still use murals but just a little of it in a small bathroom. You may also paint the bathroom with multi-stripes if you want to or a plain color will already do the job.
9. Use two shower curtains.

This will greatly add appeal to the area and will even make it look more playful for them. They will surely be encouraged to take a bath.
