50 Clever Kid’s Bathroom Ideas To Organize The Chaos
Hi Everyone!
Today I wanted to take some time to talk about kid’s bathroom ideas to organize the chaos that we all experience as parents and caregivers at some point in time. Most of what you will see here at Keep Toddlers Busy is activities for toddlers, preschool and even beyond, but parenting involves so much more and I can’t help myself! So I love to talk about tips and home life (including storage and decor) as well.
I few months ago I published a post about adding kids playroom storage ideas into my home as well as a similar post on kids bedroom storage. A lot of people loved the posts so I decided to do a bathroom version as well!
I scoured the internet looking for some of the best tips and kids bathroom design inspiration, and I have finally put together my compilation.
Whatever the size of your child’s bathroom; today I’ve collected all kinds of awesome ideas for how to tackle the mess and get one of the most utilized but taken for granted spaces an overhaul of organization!
As I said earlier, I did a lot of research and Pinterest was also a great source. If you love it too and are looking for even more kid’s bathroom decor or ideas, then check out my Pinterest board on Bathrooms and follow my account on Pinterest for more ideas!

Tips On Keeping Your Kids Bathroom Clean with Their Help
Here are a few tips for keeping the kids bathroom organized! And if you are really serious about it, download the kid’s bathroom cleaning checklist printable from Early Bird Mom.
The bathroom is such a highly utilized but also easy to mess up, so I couldn’t just write a post on bathroom design and storage ideas for kids and not include cleaning tips. Also, if you want additional tips on getting the kids to help clean up, visit my post on the best preschool clean up song list as well. Enjoy!
- Take it step by step! Since my kids are young, I started with simple tasks first. Things like putting away their toothbrush and making sure they didn’t leave pee on the toilet was a good start lol.
- Don’t give the kids toxic and/or harmful cleaners. This is an important one. I probably don’t need to say that using toxic chemicals as a kid isn’t recommended. I use some vary effective non -toxic chemicals that I get sent to my home just so the kids can help me clean 🙂
- Give lot’s of praise. Praise goes a long way with kids in any situation. Feeling good about what they are doing always helps with willingness!
- Put bathroom cleaning on a schedule. How can they argue with you when it’s on the schedule? Okay they can but it won’t be as effective lol.
- Divide Responsibilities. If you have multiple children sharing a bathroom, dividing responsibilities can be a great day to lessen the load so the kids are done quicker, which is always a great thing.
- Clean Consistently. This one is obvious but I had to include it. A consistent schedule means less work during each cleaning. And hopefully less work means less resistance for you!

Hi. I like this post and all the ideas you present here to help us with our children. Yeah, keeping their bathroom organized is quite a challenge but a good idea is to include them in this task.
I liked the metal shelf racks. They’d be perfect for our children’s bathroom and they’ll help us to keep things tidy. Thank you!
Kayla
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the ideas

Hi Kayla,
These are beautiful ideas that I’ve not taken the time to do my search on until now. I guess the reasons are that I don’t have kids now and I’m male too. Hehe, but at least I could use some ideas to help the family. I’ve picked some ideas which I could personally implement myself to get used to like Door Racks and Containers and Dollar Store Toothbrush Storage.
As an adult, there are times I had to be searching for where I placed a rack and that’ very annoying. The lists is huge but I’ve managed to get something from it 🙂
Kayla
I’m glad you got something from my list!

Hi; the kids bathroom illustration with these fifty different settings is fantastic! These all show how to make space in a small room that much comfort can be realized. I did not think they were so many, so I had not mark the ones I admired most. Are all these designs available online?
DorcasW
Kayla
Hi! Yes most are available. I included links highlighted in blue when I was able to find it online 🙂
Anita Holland
