Willow springs
We transformed this compact bathroom into a safe, comfortable, and beautiful ease-of-access space tailored for an elderly family member. By focusing on smart, universal design principles, we eliminated high-risk obstacles to ensure peace of mind without sacrificing modern style.
Key Accessibility Upgrades:
Improved Mobility: Widened the doorway to comfortably accommodate wheelchair or walker clearance.
Low-Step Showering: Swapped a traditional tub for a low-profile, 1" threshold shower pan paired with a convenient, fold-down bench.
Ergonomic Controls: Placed the shower valve and handheld wand within effortless reach while seated.
Strategic Safety: Mounted heavy-duty grab bars throughout the shower and paired the comfort-height toilet with a flip-up supporting safety rail.
Smart Vertical Storage: Replaced a cluttered over-the-toilet rack with a sleek vanity and a custom floor-to-ceiling linen cabinet to keep everyday essentials within easy arm's reach.
