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?

A somewhat unusual approach to discipline – I wouldn’t powder my children’s bottom like that or prepare for every possible scenario. If you think that’s the right way, of course, that’s one approach… I just find it excessive.

Do it the American way: every child gets a small ensuite bathroom!

Then consistently provide both the homeowner and the homeowner’s partner with their own separate bathroom! (already seen!!)

Then there won’t be any arguments like “X always leaves hair in the sink,” or “X doesn’t clean up their toothpaste residue,” and so on.

I have to agree with Lexmaul.
If there are quarrels or arguments about the issues mentioned above, then so be it. If the kids are at an age where they can learn, they can teach each other to be tidy or tolerant and be grateful that mom or dad don’t have to get upset about their habits because they each have their own bathroom.

You are right, but I think it’s fair to consider these things.

Yesterday I was at the bathroom showroom and saw a great sink that was 1.20m wide (4 feet) with two faucets (that would fit). However, the planner suggested using a 90cm (35 inches) sink with a single faucet.

Are there any experiences with wall-mounted faucets? The planner said this would be cleaner and provide more space on the sink countertop.

For such a complex topic, I would prefer to hire an interior designer to be on the safe side...
