Homeowners who want to add double vanities but are working with limited space may want to look for a more oversized sink with multiple faucets. For instance, a trough sink will be an excellent choice! (Related: Best Bathroom Sink Ideas for Every Kind of Home) It provides two toothbrush stations for your kids without adding extra cabinets.

If you want to keep chemicals and cleaning materials out of the reach of children, bathroom cupboards may need to be secured. Look for a vanity with open and closed storage if you need additional space for your kids' bath supplies. A low open shelf in this bathroom allows young children to grab a new towel quickly.
27. Storage Baskets

A tilting mirror is a valuable feature in a child's bathroom since it can be adjusted as they grow. This offers them the best view possible, whether brushing their teeth or combing their hair. A chrome pivot mirror is matched with a white subway tile backsplash and a sky-blue sconce for a light, airy effect. (Related: Stylish Bathroom Backsplash Ideas to Recreate)
