Putting Together a Child’s Bathroom

Bathroom Remodeling Jul 20

When you upgrade to a larger house, one of the most common reasons is a need for more space, whether it’s due to personal preference or, more likely, a growing family. Added space means more privacy and space for those to call their own. A bedroom is what comes to mind first, but a bathroom can do the same thing, especially for a child. Here are some things to consider when planning out remodeled bathrooms. Let’s talk decor first. Nothing makes a space your own quite like some clever decoration. Don’t feel that you need to go full-bore when it comes to this concept though. Some parents make the mistake of thinking that they need to choose a theme then cram everything they see that fits it. Excess decor never works. In some cases, you may want to consult with the experts you are working with on your remodel to decide what is a good match and what is too much. Let’s talk about themes themselves as well. There are a lot of different inspirations you can draw from when it comes to remodeling. Home magazines, websites, other homes, and most importantly, the professionals. Of course, your child will have their own suggestions, but you may want to run these through a bit of filter. Painting, the curtain rod, all of these different pieces can factor into a theme. Creating a room isn’t all aesthetics though; the organization is every bit as important. There are also practical concerns as well when it comes to giving your children their own bathroom. Let’s face it, they’re not going to be as organized when it comes to towels or hygiene essentials. This is why you want to think about organization when it comes to your planning. For a start, implement a tiered hanging basket. This helps a lot in smaller rooms or when multiple children share a room. Not only does it not take up a lot of space, but you can separate it so everyone knows where to put their things. Smaller kids will enjoy their tub toys as well, but you may want to make sure that you have a clear pace to put them so you avoid potential messes. Don’t forget safety when it comes to putting things together, either. Make sure that you invest in various safety items around the room, including:

Tub mats
Faucet covers
Drain covers
A cover clamp for the toilet

The age of your children will guide your hand a little bit when it comes to what you need to use, but it’s a combination of theming and practicality that makes the perfect room for your family.

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
