House Plans: Kid Bathroom Mood Board

When we first moved into our home, one of the few rooms that I actually didn’t mind from how the previous owners left it was the upstairs bathroom. It’s painted a basic grey and has a white bath-fitted insert over the shower-tub. It is by no means high-end, but the finishes are basic enough that they have never been high on the priority list to replace.

However, one aspect of the bathroom that I really didn’t care for were the sliding shower doors that stretch across the length of the tub. I’ve never liked these types of doors – they are so hard to clean and only ever allow you to access half of the tub opening, which isn’t exactly ideal for baby bath time. The tracks are simply screwed into the side of the shower though, so I decided it would be an easy fix to simply remove and replace them with a rod and shower curtain. 

Which leads me to the rabbit hole I am about to share.

It started with a simple search for a shower curtain and an inexpensive rod and it ended with me using Mabel’s entire nap time to create a comprehensive mood board for a whole new kid bathroom design plan.

Sources:

Walls, Cabinetry, and Fixtures: Benjamin Moore Silver Satin, Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray, gold drawer pulls, Jonas 3-Light Vanity Light, Adjustable Curved Shower Curtain Rod in brushed gold. // Linens:Leopard Shower Curtain, Jacquard-Weave Bath Sheet in dark yellow, Hand Towel with Crocheted-Trim, Textured-Weave Bath Mat in white. // Accessories: Glass Soap Dispenser in light brown, Line Drawing Leaves Art Print, Small Wooden Tray, Candle, Tea Light Holder in black, Large Storage Basket in Fawn/Seagrass.

I love this plan as a kid bathroom that can grow with Mabel as she gets older. The shower curtain adds a playful touch without being too childish and the other items and finishes are luxurious (without being over-the-top) for when I have the occasional bath in there too. The best part is that everything is fairly affordable and easy to do or install, meaning that we don’t have to do any major renovations to this room (because Lord knows we don’t have the budget for that). 

Would you use some of these items in a kid’s bath? I’d love to know what you would do to make a simple bathroom a little more kid-friendly while still fitting in with the rest of your home. Share your tips with me below!
