20 Kids Bathroom Ideas for Boys and Girls

Paint the vanity in a dusty pink shade to play up the bathroom’s timeless elements, like gold hardware, mid-century sconces and and white subway tiles.

Embrace the monochrome look by pairing a black and marble vanity with floral wallpaper in the same color palette. Stick to neutral-colored decor or add in a bright color to freshen things up.

If you have room to spare, load up a rolling bar cart with anything (and everything) they might need: bath products, spare toilet paper, extra washcloths and more.

For consistency’s sake, cover all of the walls — in and out of the shower — with striped vinyl wallpaper. Follow the same approach with the floor by taking the diamond tile from the door all the way into the shower.

Brighten up a small bathroom with a dynamic duo, like cobalt blue and lemon yellow. Lean heavy on one color (blue, in this case) and use the other for subtle contrast.

Lobster wallpaper and rope mirrors turn a bathroom into a seaside escape. Since red walls can easily overwhelm a small space, try to keep the trim, molding and vanity as muted as possible.

Fill open shelves with cloth baskets and bins, so they can reach towels, toilet paper and other essentials with ease. Just be sure to keep cleaning products or any other potentially harmful items out of reach.

Nail the two-tone effect by installing diamond tiles on the bottom half of the walls. But don’t let the color stop there: Elevate the space with a patterned shower curtain, decorative plates and other vibrant additions.

If guests use your kid’s bathroom from time to time, go for a more subdued look with a mix of grays, whites and blacks. Let the striped shower curtain be the focal point — or do away with stripes altogether and pick a more whimsical pattern.

Instead of tiling the entire wall, cover the upper half with a colorful vinyl wallpaper that can withstand extreme moisture and heat.

Draw the eye up by covering the bathroom floor with blue-and-white geometric tile. To ensure a clean and crisp look, keep everything else light and bright — white walls and a farmhouse sink, for example.

The world is their oyster — and this clever design will show them exactly that. Wrap the walls in map-inspired wallpaper, so they can see all of the adventures ahead of them.

Give their bathroom an under-the-sea makeover á la The Little Mermaid. Bring the ocean-inspired blue walls to life with a submarine-style mirror and nautical wall art.

Trick the eye by layering patterns, colors and textures. Start with a larger medallion pattern on the floor, then cover the walls with ditsy florals and glossy subway tile.

Go full-on feminine by incorporating bright florals throughout the space, ranging from framed wall art to a scalloped bath mat. For a cohesive look, paint the underside of the clawfoot club in a complementary color.

Warm up an otherwise all-white bathroom by covering one wall in a deep green shade. Affix a retro-inspired map to the wall to tie the light and dark colors together.

Keep it neutral now — and you’ll thank us later. Bring some personality to the space with geometric wallpaper, silver sconces and statement mirrors.

Mix different finishes and textures — a brushed silver faucet, black metal light fixture and distressed wooden mirror — to give off a rustic vibe. Opt for light-colored walls, flooring and tiling, so the farmhouse accents can really pop.

Paint the walls in a bold hue, then keep everything else fairly neutral to create a cabin-like feel. Sprinkle in touches of the past, like a vintage washboard or photos from your summer camp days.

Out of sight, out of mind: Hang a striped skirt to hide the inevitable clutter that an open vanity brings. When you need to grab hold of cleaning supplies, toilet paper or other bathroom extras, simply peel it back to get what you need.
