Black And White Kids' Bathroom Ideas

White walls also serve as a clean canvas for any future bathroom makeovers and works with almost any style.


Black and white kids' bathrooms incorporate classic colors with patterns, prints and materials that work well for children. Paint the wall white as a clean, fresh canvas for the rest of the room that is primarily black and white. Avoid using black paint on walls. The black is weaved in from accessories and other parts of the house.


Decor


Add black and white framed photographs to the walls. Pictures of family vacations, holidays and school pictures, as well as candid shots of each kid individually, make ideal and easy-to-source art work. Another art idea is adding old black and white pictures from the front of popular children's magazines for a retro look. Classic images of children's favorites such as Mickey Mouse make ideal art work.


Textiles








A shower curtain, a rug and towels are necessary textiles for a child's bathroom. Kids tend to be messy bathers, so ensure the shower curtain protects your floor and that the rug also does its part in keeping kids safe from a slipping accident while also protecting your floor. A black and white zebra print mat is a playful addition to the design aspect of the space, while a white shower curtain with playful phrases works well too. Look for kid-focused shower curtains with phrases like, "Scrub in the Tub!"


Accesories


Accessorize your kids bathroom with black and white plastic polka dot toothbrush holders, soap dishes and towel racks. Plastic is an easy-to-clean material, making it kid-friendly. Brighten up the entirely black and white space with a bright yellow family of rubber ducks. The single pop of color will add an additional playful sense to the room.


Storage








Add a white wooden cabinet to the bathroom as a way of storing towels, toiletries and other items. This wooden cabinet will hide any messes while also serving as an item that can be reused in another space in the house when a child's styles change. Add black plastic knobs to the cabinet for a funky, kid-friendly look. For an added touch, consider adding polka dot decals or another black design to the cabinet. Use stick-on, higher end decals if you're considering reusing the cabinet in a few years; this will prevent a repainting DIY project.
