If you have ever lived by yourself, you will know how amazing it is to have your own bathroom. However, once you get married and have some kids, the bathroom is no longer the palace where you can go to relax. If you have a few kids, you might want to consider how to create your own bathroom space and have some quiet time.
It will be cleaner
Now, we are not saying that our children are dirty but if there are a few of them that go through the show every day, then the bathroom can get a bit grubby. If you have plastic shower panels fitted, it can make the cleaning process a lot easier. However, if you have your own bathroom, you can shower in the knowledge that you are standing in a clean shower and that your feet will be clean when you get out. If you have your own space, it will be yourself and your other half using it. Keeping the kids out and stopping them from conducting science experiments in the sink will ensure that you have an adult space that is free from mud.
Your own stuff
We have all been there. The wonderful beauty items that we have collected over Christmas and birthdays, expensive items that are also too expensive to use. And your three year old decided that the red lipstick that cost a small fortune is the colour that he needs to draw in. If you have your own bathroom, your kids have no excuse to go in there and start playing with your makeup and expensive items. Or course, you could not buy these things in the first place but where is the fun in that? Keep your stuff safe from little fingers and keep your beauty products in some storage in your own bathroom. Having it to hand might make you want to use it a lot more often too.
Extra toilet
If you have one toilet and multiple bums, it can be tough to get any time to pee in peace. There are times when you get into the shower and your kids suddenly need to pee. If you have your own bathroom, you have the option of showering and not having a group of children marching in for the world's smallest pees. It is also handy if you and the husband have had a grownup meal that doesn’t agree with your stomachs. There is nothing worse than upset tummies and one toilet, just take our word on that one. If there are a lot of people in your home, it helps to have a lot of toilets so that nobody is left short. It is also great from potty training if there is a downstairs toilet option as you will find it easier to get them into the nearest toilet when they need to pee-pee.
Adds value
If there is a grownup reason to add a bathroom, it is this one. Adding an extra bathroom, even if it is a toilet and shower that has been added to a small cupboard space, can have a massive financial impact on your house when you come to resell it. You might not be thinking about selling up right now but it is nice to know that it will be worth it if you do decide to sell in the future. In fact, the more working toilets in your home, the better for the value. If you have any doubts about adding value, speak to your local estate agents and they can advise you about adding bathrooms that can add more value to your home and what has been selling with them.
Great for guests
If you have a lot of people that come around, they are having a look through your bathroom and judging you on what is in there. Having your own bathroom means that you can hide all of those creams and ointments that you would rather that people didn’t see in your own bathroom. The main family bathroom can be used by guests and it can be filled with the kid’s stuff. Don’t let guests get the better of your bathroom. However, if you can add a small downstairs toilet, that will stop people from roaming over your house and having a look through your personal stuff.
As you can see, there are plenty of benefits to having an extra bathroom in your home that will benefit you, your family, and anyone who comes to visit your home.
