In a home with children, special attention should be paid to creating rooms that are safe and comfortable, where kids can feel free to play and learn to carry out even the simplest actions in perfect independence.

Here are some tips on how to create a child-friendly bathroom without having to do without designer furnishings. Convenience and safety are the watchwords, and one of the first things to consider, if a child is very young, is whether you need to fit a changing table in the bathroom. In this case, it is necessary to check the overall dimensions from the very start.

An iron rule, if we may say so, is to opt for sanitary ware with rounded shapes, so as to ensure that kids will not get hurt near the edges. 

To this end, the App and Bonola collections, with their smooth, rounded profiles are perfect for both the WC and the bidet, as well as for the washbasin. With their organic shapes that seem to have been polished by water, Fluo line sanitary wares also work well for furnishing a bathroom that is also used by children.

When choosing products, some precautions should be considered:

• Choose washbasins equipped with an overflow, or make up for its absence with a drain having a built- in overflow function. This solution ensures that the bathroom will not be flooded if the child leaves the basin tap open; the same applies to the bathtub and the bidet;
• Select a soft-closing toilet seat. Children do not usually accompany the toilet seat, which slams shut: a soft-closing mechanism ensures that this does not happen and the seat comes down slowly;
• Position the power outlets high enough and equip them with child-proof covers;
• Place detergents and cleaners high up to avoid possible accidents:
• If you decide to fit a shower tray, make sure it has a non-slip surface, and the shower box, if made of glass, uses tempered glass, or glass treated in such a way that, should it break, it would safeguard the physical safety of persons nearby.

Finally, to make a bathroom child-friendly and safe, it is advisable to provide stools, risers and reducers to make it easier for kids to use it, especially the little ones.
