Form or Function? This Universal Design Bath Proves You Can Have Both!
Accessible design can be functional for a family without sacrificing aesthetics. From uniquely designed hardware to non-slip walls and floors to additional lighting, this second-floor transitional bathroom remodeling project has a family friendly spa design that meets the needs of a parent who is legally blind.
This busy couple chose to reimagine their bathroom as they prepared to adopt a child and age in place. Redesigning the space was a family affair as they enlisted help from a soon to be grandparent, a kitchen and bathroom designer who recently retired from Plato Woodworking, to add storage options for the entire family. The height and rounded features of the fixtures were carefully selected with the use of a Houzz idea book to create a safe and welcoming space for ages and abilities.
The result: A room that feels more like a Spa than a bath. It combines form and function, creating an inviting and comfortable space while meeting the family’s unique style and accessibility needs.
