If you lack ideas and don’t know where to focus the decoration, it’s time to assess some resources that help you to add a theme to a child’s bathroom:

  1. A key concept that you can use is wall stickers. You can use them to represent an animal. In addition to decorating the walls, these images teach children about different species, such as whales, fish, and seahorses.
  2. Shower curtains are also another important resource, especially because they take up a large space. They don’t need to contain an animal theme. However, we recommend not opting for bold colors.
  3. To make teeth brushing a fun activity for your children, you can choose exciting toothbrush holders. For example, in the shape of a frog or another animal.
  4. Towels are items children personally identify with. In the same way that parents have towels in their favorite colors, children like to have the same, even with animal prints.
  5. As for the furniture, you can decorate it with different tones to make the bathroom an interesting place. Also, you can complete the decoration with animal stickers.

On the other hand, you can consider a neutral theme, with recognizable features. Some of the most popular are dinosaur stickers and vinyls or, an animal-shaped mirror or clouds painted on the wall.

If you don’t want to have any particular theme, you can simply use colors. For this, you can use vivid colors that activate emotions and that are different from those you use to decorate your home.

Children tend to love pastel tones. However, if you want to create a more peaceful environment, sky blue and white are good options. And don’t forget that bright colors create a sense of energy.
