When people think about an accessible bathroom, they often picture something practical but clinical, with basic fittings, obvious grab rails and very little attention given to design.

Thankfully, that no longer has to be the case.

Modern disabled bathroom designs can combine accessibility, safety and ease of use with the same stylish finishes you’d expect from any contemporary bathroom.

Start With a Modern Walk-In Shower

For anyone with reduced mobility, replacing a traditional bath with a low-level or walk-in shower can make the bathroom considerably easier to use.

But practical doesn’t have to mean basic. Large shower areas, contemporary glass screens and attractive wall panels can create a modern look while providing easier access.

Choose Stylish Wall Panels

Wall panels are an excellent option for accessible bathrooms. As well as being waterproof and easy to maintain, they’re available in a huge choice of designs.

Stone, marble, tile and contemporary finishes can all be used to create a high-quality appearance without compromising on practicality.

Grab Rails Can Be Discreet

Grab rails are important for many accessible bathrooms, but they don’t have to look institutional.

Modern grab rails are available in different styles and finishes and can be positioned carefully to complement other bathroom fittings.

Planning their location properly means they provide support exactly where it’s needed while becoming part of the overall bathroom design.

Modern Shower Seating

A shower seat can provide additional comfort and independence for anyone who finds standing difficult.

Today’s options include neat fold-down seats that can be tucked away when they’re not required, helping maintain a spacious and uncluttered shower area.

Combine this with an adjustable handheld shower and easy-to-use controls to create a shower that’s both comfortable and practical.

Don’t Forget Flooring and Lighting

Good accessible bathroom design considers the whole room.

Anti-slip flooring can reduce the risk of falls, while good lighting makes it easier to move around safely. Removing unnecessary steps and obstacles can also create a more open and spacious bathroom.

These practical considerations can all be incorporated without compromising the overall appearance.

Accessible Bathrooms Can Still Feel Luxurious

An accessible bathroom can be just as stylish as any other bathroom.

Quality taps, contemporary showers, attractive furniture, modern screens and carefully selected finishes can create a premium space while accessibility features are incorporated discreetly into the design.
