Designing a Child-Friendly Family Bathroom
Everyone’s needs for a bathroom are different and for families that share a bathroom, designs that have something for everybody are always a winner. For example, bathtub replacement contractors often note that the reason most homeowners swap out their old-fashioned bathtubs is mainly because they pose a risk for small children and elderly loved ones.
There are no hard and fast rules that dictate what you can or cannot do to your bathroom, but there are a few tried and true ways that can make it a safe experience for anyone, no matter their age. Here are a few design ideas from our experts at Total Bath Systems on how to remodel a kid-safe and friendly bathroom.
Safety First!
The smooth surfaces of most bath and shower combos become even more slippery when wet. Contact your local KOHLER® LuxStone bathtub installation contractors to upgrade the floors with anti-slip materials to prevent any accidents. Low-entry thresholds from KOHLER® LuxStone showers also minimize the risk of tripping, a common danger for young children in bathroom settings.
User-Friendly Bathrooms
Designs should always follow functionality so before you finalize your bathroom remodeling, think about what it would be like to be a child who is using your bathroom. Is the sink accessible enough for brushing your teeth or washing your hands? Can you get in and out of your shower or bathtub quickly and safely? Don’t be afraid to consult with your designer and incorporate add-ons that can help improve your children’s bathroom usage.
Make Cleaning Fun
As your bath and showers make you clean, make sure your walk-in tub installation companies also make cleaning it fun and easy. Kids old enough to help with household chores might find cleaning the showers and bathroom challenging. By choosing materials that are easy to clean and putting cleaning implements within easy reach, you can help turn this chore into a fun activity they might even look forward to.
Our professionals at Total Bath Systems can help you design a bathroom that’s fit for all ages. Give us a call at (860) 410-6950 or fill out our contact form to schedule a consultation and request a free estimate today.

Customer Reviews
Chuck was a very good salesman explained everything clearly and very helpful.
Brandon was very knowledgeable, professional and made the process very easy to get our new bathroom installation setup. I highly recommend using him.
To be fair I did not have an installation done - strictly because I won’t decide under pressure - the option was to save almost 5k by committing immediately at the time of consultation (I still had 2 other vendors coming the same day to consult). But 5 stars for Brandon- he was on top of his game!
Brandon was great during our consultation- very clear and friendly, provided honest feedback, and he never pressured us into buying anything.
Walter was the most professional representative ever. His knowledge and presentation was exceptional. He was extremely courteous and responsive to all our questions. Highly recommended!
