How to Create a Classic, Kid-Friendly Bathroom

It’s not always easy for you and your children to agree on everything. However, when it comes to decorating your home, there are a few ways you and your kids can compromise. Below are a four tips to help you create a classic, yet kid-friendly bathroom that everyone will love:

Go with a neutral color palette. Steer clear of patterned wallpaper or vibrant hues. Instead, keep the wall color neutral with a calming shade of green or beige. That way, you can have fun decorating the rest of the room while avoiding a color or pattern clash! Check out Benjamin Moore to see some of the best selling neutrals on the market!

Make a splash. Of color, we mean! From towel racks to mirror frames, give your kids a few options. Then, let them pick out a few of their favorites. Giving them choices, but letting them decide is a great way to make sure everyone in your home will love your new bathroom updates!

Go to the beach. If you and your family are beach-goers, why not make a few memories that you can take home with you? For example, snap a photograph of your children building a sandcastle or fill an empty glass jar with seashells or sand - a fun activity that you can do together. Take these treasures back home and assemble them in your new bath - a chic, yet kid-friendly way to decorate!

Get personalized. Another way you can create a classic, kid-friendly bathroom is by personalizing your towels or waste bin. Whether you choose a monogrammed accessory based on your family’s last name or your children’s first names, you can be sure that both you and your kids will love it!

Summer Updates for Your Bathroom on a Budget

Summer is the perfect time to freshen up your bathroom! All it takes are a few decorative updates to transform it for the season, but don’t let a large price tag get in your way. A beautiful bathroom doesn’t always require a ton of money. As a matter of fact, many of the best rooms are built on creativity! Here are 3 easy ways you can brighten up your bathroom on a budget:

Coastal accents. Bring the scent of ocean breeze and the glow of warm sand into your bathroom with a few coastal-inspired decor items! Placing candles in glass holders filled with sand is a great, inexpensive way to achieve this look. Also, adding coastal bath towels and beachy wall art can tie the whole room together.

Geometric shapes. Implementing geometric patterns is a popular way to spruce up your bathroom this season. Budget-friendly decorations like towels, pictures, and rugs can make your living space look more festive from floor to ceiling. Not sure where to start? Look for circles, stripes, and other funky patterns!

Sunny shades. Another way to upgrade your bathroom on a budget is to look for anything yellow, orange, or white. These three colors can completely transform your bathroom by brightening it up! You don’t have to go overboard with the idea - a yellow and white hand towel or a vase filled with orange flowers are sure to make a big difference.

Find the Perfect Bathroom Sink

Looking for the perfect bathroom sink? From size to personal style, there are many factors to think about before buying one. No sink is alike, which makes the decision all the more difficult, but don’t worry! In an attempt to help, we’ve compiled a list of different bathroom sinks you should consider:

Wall mounted sinks. Is your bathroom on the small side? A wall mounted sink may be the ideal solution. It allows for more space even if yours is very limited. Some feature decorative covers that are installed over your plumbing and drain pipe to suit your interior style!

Pedestal sinks. Similar to the wall mounted sink, these sinks are attached to the wall but rests on top of a pedestal, which is mounted to the ground. These are also a great option for small baths as there is no need for a bulky vanity.

Vessel sinks. For unlimited design options, choose a vessel sink. These sinks are simply free-standing bowls that rest on your vanity (though partially mounted). The steepness of these bowls also make it less likely for you to splash all over your countertops when washing up.

Self-rimming square sinks. These square sinks are cut out and placed perfectly in your vanity top, secured by the unique design of its rim. Self-rimming sinks feature molding around the edges for a more traditional appearance.

Once you’ve settled on the perfect sink for your bathroom, make sure your plumbing is properly installed. Nassau County Plumbing and Sewer Rooter offers all of the plumbing, sewer and drain services you need to keep your bathroom sink running as perfect as it looks!

Contemporary Bathroom Design Tips

As you might have already known, contemporary and/or modern bathrooms are currently in-style. As the latest trend in bathroom design, we want to give you an outline on what makes a contemporary bathroom contemporary. This way, you can go right ahead designing the stylish and efficient bathroom you've been hoping for. First and foremost:

Simplicity

• Contemporary bathrooms contain clean lines and geometric shapes entirely. Therefore, when shopping for bathroom accessories, keep this in mind. For example, purchase a rectangular or square lamp shade. 
• Colors in a contemporary bathroom are no different. Keep it simple with neutral colors (black, grey, tan, white, etc.) 

Contemporary design is all about a pleasing design that perfectly combines form and function. Therefore pick materials that are:

Sleek and High Quality

• Stainless steal has a sharp, appealing look. It is also easy to clean and maintain. Wood, glass and ceramic are other great materials to consider.

A contemporary bathroom design is particularly useful for homeowners who only have a small space to work with. Here's why:

No Clutter
Contemporary design requires a practical use of space. Everything should have an exact place and be neatly stored away. According to HGTV.com, "One element of modern bathroom design that can be a great complement to a small space is a raised or pedestal sink, often in angular, rounded or gently curving stainless steel or porcelain. This efficient fixture choice can make a style statement while doing double-duty as a space saver, as it doesn't require the sink to be set in a larger cabinet, allowing for an elegant and airy effect."
