A statement bath is one of the best luxury bathroom ideas, but filling it with water that is too hot can lead to trouble. According to the Child Accident Prevention Trust, a baby’s skin is 15 times thinner than an adult’s, so hot water can pose a real danger.

To make sure bath water is a suitable temperature for children's delicate skin, Babycentre advises always starting with cold water, adding hot water and swishing it around while filling the bath to disperse heat. You can use a thermometer to ensure the water is not more than 38°C (100°F) or test it with your elbow rather than your hand, as the skin on your elbow has more heat receptors.
