Safety features such as non-slip mats are essential.
Washbasin units provide space to store important items and a stool helps to bring everything within easy reach.
The toilet can be installed at a standard height but should be fitted with a soft-closing system to protect children's hands.

From what stage is it useful to have a bathroom for children?
A children’s bathroom is useful from around primary school age. Children below this age are not yet able to wash themselves or brush their teeth on their own so it is usually easier if you spend time in the bathroom with them. A children's bathroom helps kids take care of their morning and evening routines independently so is a great idea.
Safety tips for a children's bathroom
There should be no electrical appliances, such as a hairdryer or curling tongs, and no chemical cleaning products in a children's bathroom.
Use child safety devices to secure any plug sockets in the bathroom.
An anti-slip finish in the shower will reduce the risk of accidents.
Avoid sharp edges in a children's bathroom to prevent injuries.
Stylish and functional design for children's bathrooms
To help your children use the bathroom on their own, it’s good to take a few precautions. The room should be functional, with a washbasin and toilet that can be easily reached and operated by small hands. A specially designed Montessori bathroom encourages independence and makes learning fun for children.
Choosing the right colour for your new children's bathroom
Children's bathrooms should be bright and welcoming. To make sure your children will keep using the bathroom even as they grow up, we recommend a neutral base colour for tiles and sanitary fittings. You can liven these up with a pop of bright colour to create a cheerful bathroom atmosphere.
