Top Ideas For Your Perfect Family Bathroom

Top Ideas For Your Perfect Family Bathroom

By Benjamin Clarke | Published on 5th November 2019

Creating a family bathroom can be quite a challenge as you usually need to fit in more than normal to cater for all the family’s requirements. Space, storage and a bath are all important aspects of a family bathroom but making it look stylish as well as being practical can be difficult. Here are some top tips for creating a family bathroom which works for everyone:

Include plenty of storage space

Classic Bathroom Storage The main priority in a family bathroom is plenty of storage space, which helps you to be more organised, and by ensuring that all your toiletries and spare towels etc. are neatly stored away will help to create a very sleek, modern look. Bathroom furniture is a great way for you to add colour and texture into your bathroom; a high gloss red vanity unit will certainly catch your eye as well making the bathroom more appealing to kids too. Bathroom storage comes in many designs and sizes ranging from wall-mounted vanity units, floor standing vanity units and fitted furniture. Wall-mounted vanity units are great for creating maximum floor space as well as looking very modern too, opt for one that doesn’t have handles, instead choose doors or drawers with a smooth push to open system for a neater look. Bathroom furniture combined with a stylish semi-recessed basin will help to draw the eye away from the actual storage itself so that the basin becomes the main focal point.

Choose a double-ended bath

A freestanding bath A bath is a definite must in your family bathroom as you need somewhere you can easily wash your kids as well as having a lovely, relaxing soak yourself. Double-ended baths are ideal for family bathrooms as they feature lots of bathing space as the bath taps are in the centre instead of at one end. Double-ended baths also provide a more contemporary look than a single ended bath. Some double-ended baths don’t have any pre-drilled tap holes, this allows you to install wall-mounted bath taps, which will provide your family bathroom with a high-end look and feel.

Achieve maximum space

Choosing a wall-hung toilet and wall-mounted basin will instantly create maximum floor space and helps to provide the illusion of a much bigger room. A wall-mounted toilet and basin also creates a very clean, modern look too. If possible install two basins, which won’t just look very stylish but are very practical if you have kids. Also, ensuring that your family bathroom has plenty of bright lights and a large mirror can make a big difference to the overall feel of the room.

Complete the look with a heated towel rail

Heated towel rails are available in a wide range of sizes and are ideal for keeping your towels warm and dry. A chrome heated towel rail will also look very sleek and modern and is a great alternative to a standard radiator.
