Family bathroom ideas
Family bathrooms can be tricky – because whilst on the face of it, you’re designing for practicality and functionality, in reality everyone has likes and dislikes when it comes to the style and look of the bathroom.

The Fairy Bathmother’s 15 Minute Fixes – Safety First
Shower mats are a fantastic way to ensure you don’t do the old ‘banana skin’ slip in the tub! They do definitely help you to retain some grip underfoot when in the bath or shower. Conditioners and hair removal products can be particularly slimy on the bottom of the tub and can make it like an ice rink. Whilst this may not be a cause for concern for figure skaters, us regular clumsy oafs can find it somewhat more problematic. Shower mats can blend in nicely when clear but you can get them in other colours too if you’d like a more bold option to match your accent colour. Make sure to run them through the washing machine regularly though as they can get surpisingly manky, which isn’t to the Fairy Bathmother’s tastes at all.

So let’s have a look at these choices first, and leave the design choice up to you.
