A good idea is to make the bathroom the same design as the baby's room.

Children are always attracted to bright colors, so when decorating a bathroom, you don’t have to stop at just a few shades. You can make the interior in different colors, but it is important that they match each other.

To further interest your child, play with his hobbies. For example, if he loves a cartoon, put stickers with his favorite characters on the walls.

Safety
It is very important to organize safe conditions in the apartment where the child lives. This applies not only to his room, but also to the bathroom, which the baby can often enter without adults. Therefore, try to think through all the details when decorating this room. Remove all electrical appliances, sharp objects, and chemical cleaning products from your child's bathroom. It is better to put children's hygiene items in a closet or on a shelf where the child cannot get to without your help.

Place lamps and switches so that a child cannot reach them. You can install special lamps that react to movement - then you won’t need a switch at all, and you will have peace of mind for your baby.

Cover sharp and protruding corners with soft pads. For the door, buy a special foam stopper that will prevent your child from closing the door and accidentally pinching his fingers. If the door has a lock, make sure it can be opened from the outside.

Preference for calm colors
To make a small children's room both spacious and cozy, give preference to light colors. This does not mean that the room needs to be completely immersed in a snow-white palette - this will make it cold and uncomfortable. Shades can be selected according to the gender and age of the child. For a boy's "den" you can choose a light blue background, and for a gentle girl's mansion - a pink one.
There are a number of shades that look great in both cases, for example – light tones of green, beige, gray, orange. Each of them is able to make the environment comfortable and spacious.
It is known that young preschool children love bright colors - let them be present in accents. Use vinyl stickers or photo wallpapers, which can be replaced with neutral images as they age.
Children's bathroom floor
The bathroom floor is often slippery from water that has fallen on it. Even adults can slip and get injured when standing on tiles with wet feet. And for ever-mobile kids, a slippery floor is even more dangerous. Therefore, if you have the opportunity, make the floor from non-slip materials. If this is not possible, lay rugs on the tiles and even in the bathtub.

Installation height of plumbing fixtures: SNiP requirements
Repair Author Optimist Reading time 7 min Published 03/22/2011
Installation of sanitary ceramic products should be carried out in accordance with the requirements of SNiP 2.04.01-85, technical conditions and instructions of equipment manufacturers. The height at which sanitary fixtures are installed should be taken in accordance with SNiP 3.05.01-85*.
Rules for installing plumbing
Installation of internal sanitary systems should be carried out in accordance with the requirements of SNiP 3.05.01-85, SN 478-80, as well as SNiP 3.01.01-85, SNiP III-4-80 and SNiP III-3-81.
Before installation of internal sanitary fixtures begins, the following work must be completed:
- laying pipelines and air ducts
- installation in accordance with the working documentation of embedded parts in building structures for fastening equipment
- ensuring the possibility of turning on power tools, as well as electric welding machines, at a distance of no more than 50 m from one another
- glazing of window openings in external fences, insulation of entrances and openings
General construction, sanitary and other special work in sanitary facilities should be carried out in the following order:
- Preparation for floors.
- Plastering walls.
- Arrangement of beacons for installation of ladders.
- Installation of fastening means for pipelines.
- Laying of pipelines.
- Carrying out their hydrostatic and manometric tests.
- Waterproofing of ceilings (floors).
- Wall priming.
- Installation of clean floors.
- Bathtub installation.
- Installation of brackets for washbasins.
- Installation of mounting parts for flush cisterns.
- First painting of walls and ceilings.
- Wall tiling.
- Installation of washbasins.
- Installation of flush cisterns.
- Second painting of walls and ceilings.
- Installation of water fittings.
When installing sanitary systems and carrying out related civil works, there should be no damage to previously completed work. Earthenware fixtures are installed after the installation of pipelines before the final painting of the premises.
When installing sinks and sinks, inspection siphons should be used; when installing washbasins and bathtubs, bottle and floor siphons should be used, respectively. Devices are placed horizontally or plumb. To equalize electrical potentials, the bathtub body and steel water pipes must be connected with a special metal conductor.
Valve-type shut-off valves must be installed in water supply systems. Valves and check valves must be placed in such a way that water or steam flows under the valves.
Check valves on hot water supply (heating) pipes are placed strictly horizontally or strictly vertically, depending on their design. Water meters are placed at a height of 300 to 1000 mm from the finished floor level. The axis of the water meter unit must be in a horizontal position.
Water taps and mixers are installed above the sides of sinks by 250 mm, sinks and washbasins by 200 mm, counting from the sides to the horizontal axes of the taps or mixers. Mixers common to bathtubs and washbasins should be installed at a height of 1100 mm, mixers for shower trays - 800 mm from the floor level to the horizontal axis of the mixer.
In accordance with the recommendations of SNiP 3.05.01 clause 3.11 and clause 3.15, sanitary fixtures are installed at a height according to table No. 1.
Ceiling and walls
Children's games in the bath often involve a lot of splashes, so it is better to choose waterproof materials for the ceiling and walls. The ceiling can be made of plastic lining - a budget waterproof material. The advantage of lining is not only in price, but also in the variety of colors. This is a great option for a bright children's bathroom.
The walls can be tiled with ceramic tiles with an anti-slip coating - a common material for the bathroom.

Design for the little ones
Children love variety. They always want something “new”. But this is certainly not a reason to do repairs once a month. To please your baby, you can change the design of the bathroom with the help of accessories. You won’t need any special expenses there either - just rehang the curtain for the shower or bath, change the cups for toothbrushes, and plastic laundry baskets. And it’s worth changing the rugs from time to time, if only for reasons of hygiene. A good idea is an applique on a mirror or ceramic tile, either from scrap materials (multi-colored film, self-adhesive paper) or from ready-made kits. They include figures made of plastic latex, which are easily glued to a smooth surface and just as easily removed.

Bathroom "to grow"
Make sure that your baby can reach the objects he needs. For example, place a special non-slip stool so that he can reach the sink. Hang towels on hooks with suction cups at the child’s eye level - this will make it easier for him to dry his hands. The advantage of such hooks is that they can be hung higher over time.
Plumbing for children
Children's plumbing differs from models for adults. It is smaller in size, more colorful in color, but most importantly, it should be comfortable and safe to use for kids. The range of leading European manufacturers of bathroom fixtures includes series specially designed for children. These are toilets with seat covers equipped with a microlift, sinks, washbasins, furniture, accessories, as well as faucets and shower systems. For example, a thermostatic shower with innovative technology to protect children from burns from hot water. Faucets with touch controls, which are simpler and more convenient to use than models with valves. By installing children's sanitary ware made in Europe in a bathroom, toilet, kindergarten or medical facility, you can be absolutely sure of its hygiene, environmental friendliness and full compliance with international quality standards.
Laufen. FLORAKIDS collection
The colorful and friendly Florakids series from Laufen is designed for use in private interiors and for children's institutions. The centerpiece of the collection is a washbasin with a striking flower-shaped basin in white, red and green. If necessary, several sinks can be placed in a row, providing space for storing bath accessories. The sinks can be complemented with ceramic shelves in the shape of clouds, white, red and green. www.laufen.ru

This design significantly increases the safety of the child, eliminating the impact on a sharp protrusion. The seats are made in a form convenient for children - with a small back and a small diameter. The sides on the right and left of the seat allow the child to feel secure and potty trained kids can hold on to them. www.laufen.ru
For the Florakids series, a single-lever mixer with a red and green handle has been developed. The special powder coating makes it safe and easy for children's hands to use. The innovative Ecototal cartridge reduces the risk of burns and ensures efficient water consumption. www.laufen.ru
The collection also includes mirrors in the shape of a red flower or a long green caterpillar (in the latter case, the elements can be arranged in a row to form a caterpillar body of any length). www.laufen.ru

Trends for 2022
Among the fashion trends for decorating girls' rooms, designers note floral design. The following solutions are popular:
accent wall with images of large flowers
art painting
drawings and posters with beautiful plants
neat floral print on furniture
For such an interior, delicate pastel shades with a couple of bright accents are suitable.
Another option for daughters is wallpaper with polka dots or with clear geometric shapes. Pastel colors of walls with geometry with a golden or silver sheen look modern.
Design in the shabby-chic style is relevant for 2022, suggesting elegant furniture, a delicate palette, and beautiful decor. Beds with a carved headboard and canopy, soft ottomans, and fluffy carpets are typical.
For boys, designers highlight several types of interior that are trending in 2022:
Cosmic with blue wall decoration, stars on the ceiling, lamps in the shape of celestial bodies, galaxy models, telescopes.
African with a comfortable tent, animals and jungle on the walls.
Superhero with images of your favorite characters and even entire scenes from films or cartoons on the walls.
Decorative elements
You can decorate the bathroom together with your child, turning this process into a fun game. For example, buy special bathroom stickers and stick them on ceramic bathroom surfaces and tiles.

Vinyl stickers are available for purchase. They are inexpensive and easily fit into the bathroom design. In addition, they can be re-glued several times.

Furniture
Another important element is the table (or desk). A good idea for a preschooler is to organize a position in which he can comfortably draw, assemble puzzles and cubes, or sculpt from plasticine.
From the moment your child starts school, the room should have a sturdy tabletop and chair to help maintain proper posture while studying and doing homework. Shelves for books and school supplies should be located within easy reach.
In addition to general lighting, the room should also have a lamp to illuminate the work area and a bedside lamp that the child can turn on and off without leaving the bed.
