While modifications are required to make a bathroom compliant with accessibility standards, it can still remain modern and stylish while maintaining functionality. Here are a few ways to enhance the look of your bathroom while ensuring that everyone can use the space safely and comfortably.
Use Floating and Wall-Hung Sinks
Bathroom sink fixtures that mount to the wall are great options for anyone to use, especially those requiring wheelchair access. They are also a sleek choice for those who want to achieve a minimalist look that is practical and refined. When you choose a floating sink, you can fix it to any height that suits your needs. To help you narrow down your selections, you can browse through a variety of wall-hung sink designs at your local plumbing supply store and find your perfect fit.
Consider Adding Modern Finishes to Hardware and Faucets
While finishes, like stainless steel for grab bars are a staple choice, you can also opt for matte, brushed and satin finishes to elevate the look and feel of your bathroom. If you’re heading to Vancouver for plumbing supplies and are unsure which finishes may suit your bathroom project, stop by Noble BC. Their team can help you select the best option for your budget and your style.
Opt for a Curbless Shower
One of the main features of any bathroom is the shower or tub. A curbless shower is the perfect option for those with mobility challenges. It can minimize trip hazards and is easy to clean. When designed properly, a curbless shower will feature a slight floor slope that prevents excess water from spilling throughout the bathroom. Best of all, it offers a contemporary look that can create the illusion of space in a smaller area.
