Creating a family bathroom that works well is a challenge and has to meet everyone’s needs. It is a good idea to measure the space accurately and try to gain a bit of extra space if possible, you could consider gaining extra space from the landing or from another room directly next to the bathroom.

In a family with children it is important to have a bathroom with a bath, the lack of a bath can put off potential buyers if you are looking to sell your house, it is much easier to install a shower than it is to put in a bath. If you have a separate shower enclosure and bath, your bathroom will look more finished, rather than having a shower over the bath. A large double-ended bath will enable children to enjoy bath-time fun and having a bath shower mixer tap will make washing hair much easier. A walk-in shower enclosure is a good idea, they are quick and safe to use for children, choose the biggest one you can for the space you have.
The bigger the basin you can fit in, the better for a family bathroom. It is a good idea to look for basins with a large bowl and a flat surround surface so there is plenty of room to put toothbrushes and other toiletries. Another good option if you have the space is to install double basins, these come in handy when everyone is rushing around in the morning.
Storage is an important factor to think about, a bathroom used by a family can become cluttered with toiletries, so making use of bathroom furniture with plenty of storage is an ideal option, whether it is a separate storage unit or a large basin with an integrated cabinet underneath, you will find that it will come in very handy, shelving is also another good option to consider. Think about using built in bathroom furniture, this will give an organised and neat look and will hide any unsightly pipework and you gain extra surfaces for toiletries.
Think about lighting as well, having a big mirror with a light is a good idea. Using softer lighting is ideal for if you want to relax in the bath, you could install a dimmer control to set the lighting to your preference.
Making use of a large heated towel rail is ideal, your towels will be kept warm and off the floor to create a tidy look.
