Take time choosing your bath
"Check the shape of the current base of the bath, because they all differ," advises Katie. "Try to maximize the living space for many organizations and reduce slippage potential by searching for baths with straight edges, not the slope.
'Choose a bathroom with a non-slip base, because it eliminates the need for a carpet that could get moldy and make more of a chore cleaning bath, "Lee says Bert Thornley & May, which recently launched an interior design arm.
Look for other security options, too. "A bath with handles means that children can easily get out because they have something solid to hold," advises Lee.

If there is space, a bathroom with a rim will also give you a place to sit while you supervise young children in the water.

... or customize your bath shower
If you do not have space for a separate shower and bath, a shower in the bathroom is a good compromise, especially when creating a bathroom that will grow with your child, or who works for adults and children

squeeze in storage
When planning a layout bathroom from scratch, you can build in memory from the start.
'If you have odd spaces to fill near doors or under windowsills, measure for shelves that can accommodate storage boxes - or colorful plastic bins or more natural baskets woven wicker, "says Katie.
'Isolate bath toys, swimming gear bottles, shampoo and soap into different boxes. Squeeze toys after each bathtime, and look out for mold inside, as this can be unhealthy for young lungs, "she adds.

Reduce security risks
Many of us store cleaning products, medicines and other potentially dangerous items in the bathroom. Make sure you build in the proper storage in order to keep them out of reach or locked up or, if these are not options, store them in another room altogether.
The bathrooms contain other risks, too. "Towel can be hot! If you have them, make sure they are placed out of reach of your child until they are old enough to understand not to touch "advises Diana . "Be aware of the type of lock on the door of the bathroom, too. Use something up or that can be unlocked from the outside, so that young children can not be locked.
