ᐅ "Children's Bathroom" – Large Bathtub or Two Smaller Ones?

Hello everyone,

In the children's bathroom, we have space for a 1–1.20 m (3 ft 3 in–3 ft 11 in) washbasin. I have been thinking for days about what is better—a large basin with two taps or two smaller basins, but separate?

I actually like the idea of two basins, but I’m concerned that if they are too small, there might be regular overflows.

We have a daughter and a son. They probably won’t use the bathroom at the same time later on anyway, but on the other hand, there might be sleepover guests more often, and then the bathroom will be used simultaneously again.

Or maybe the bathroom will be converted into a men's bathroom, in which case it would also be nice if father and son had separate basins...

What experiences do you have? Oh, and at what age does a child usually shower all by themselves?

Very funny.

I am currently designing eight bathrooms, so I think it’s fair to give it some thought. And no, they are not all for our house.

Well, how shall I put it, your questions don’t really sound like you’re planning eight bathrooms... or at least I think I read that you have a planner?

Well, I would be more concerned about who is allowed to do the cleaning... I could never imagine my son having his own sink and actually cleaning it himself. He does help out around the house, but that... hmm...

@Cascada - I don’t understand.
I feel like I’m in kindergarten right now. You don’t have to scrutinize every word so closely.
No idea how bathrooms are usually set up or purchased, this is my first time. But I didn’t go to a hardware store; I went to a specialist retailer. There, you can’t just browse the showroom and buy things yourself. Instead, staff advise you, they receive the bathroom floor plans and create the "design" for the installer. That’s what I meant by planner.

Double washbasin with two faucets, wooden vanity and beige tiled wall in the bathroom


Hello,

In our new build, we also created a kids’ bathroom with a double washbasin for our two daughters.

More important to me than the cleaning aspect was ensuring a smooth morning routine when all four of us need to leave the house.

And from a certain age, I believe a bit of help with household chores is definitely reasonable to expect.
