Bathrooms designed for people with limited mobility don’t need to be sterile and boring. No matter who uses this space, adding modern fixtures can provide accessibility and safety without sacrificing sophistication. Get inspired by these bathroom remodeling ideas that prove function and style aren’t mutually exclusive.

How to Design an Accessible Bathroom

1. Floating Sink

Floating sinks and vanities have become a bathroom remodeling trend because of their clean and contemporary aesthetic. However, this style also makes the sink accessible to people in wheelchairs because the space below allows them to get near the basin. Though it’s not required for residential bathrooms, following the sink design standards prescribed by the Americans with Disabilities Act is ideal.

2. Sleek Grab Bars

There are many sleek styles available that'll make it easier to move around the bathroom while also complementing the room’s overall aesthetic. For instance, bronze grab bars can add a rustic, warm look to a bathroom with a traditional style, while gleaming stainless steel grab bars will complement more modern spaces.  

3. Curbless Shower

Stepping over tub walls and shower curbs can be challenging for people with limited mobility. A curbless shower doesn’t have a barrier, making it easier for anyone to get in and out without much effort. Additionally, the lack of obstruction gives the bathroom a touch of minimalist elegance.
