A bathroom is actually a very important part of the home but despite this, it can become neglected and often not much is done with it for years.

If you or family members have any physical limitations then you may struggle to use a bathroom that has not been designed with this in mind. As you get older you may find that you struggle to get in and out of the bath or that the sink is too low down for you to use. All of these factors can make using the bathroom not only awkward but also possibly unsafe.

When designing an accessible bathroom, you need to carefully consider the space you have and how you are going to lay out all the facilities in the room to give enough room for them to be used by everyone. If you have two bathrooms you may decide to only have a bath in one of them and have a shower in the other. If no one in your household tends to like having baths then you may decide to invest in decent shower facilities instead.

A wet room is a great idea as you do not have to factor in the space for a bath or a shower cubical. The whole room can be tiled and drainage installed to allow a shower to be fitted to the room.
