Ideas for Decorating a Jack and Jill Bathroom

A Jack and Jill bathroom is a bathroom that is connected to two different bedrooms, with each having a door that leads directly into it. It is common for this type of bathroom to have a dual vanity. Decorating Jack and Jill bathrooms are a unique challenge as you will want to make it appealing to the people who directly share it.

• Pick a neutral theme if the two bedrooms have vastly different decorating styles. Paint the walls in a mild, neutral color and use neutral rugs and shower curtains.


• If the bedrooms are similar in style, color or theme, carry this over into the bathroom.


• If a brother and sister share the bathroom, paint and decorate it in bright, non-gender specific colors.


• Split the decorating style to suit each of the adjacent bedrooms. Bring in style elements from each of the rooms.


• Decorate the bathroom in a theme that reflects a common interest for both parties that are sharing the room. This could mean decorating it in a nautical theme or if it is a bathroom for small children, decorate it to reflect a favorite cartoon character.
