Designing a Shower for Accessibility: Tips & Ideas for a Safe & Stylish Space
If you’re in the process of planning for a shower remodel at your home, ask yourself: What’s your biggest priority for the project? If the answer is convenience, there are plenty of ways you can achieve your goals. Whether you or a loved one has mobility limitations and you need to make entering and exiting your shower easier, you want to reduce the risk of slips and falls, or you just want to make your daily routine easier, you have options. So, how can you design your shower for accessibility? Here are some tips and ideas to consider as you create a safe and stylish space you can enjoy for a long time to come:
Choosing the Right Shower Style is the Best Place to Start
When it comes time for a new shower at your home and you’re prioritizing accessibility, there’s no better choice than a walk-in shower. The walk-in design is meant to create convenience, as it eliminates the high barrier that makes the standard shower/bathtub combination unrealistic for some homeowners. With one of these showers, you don’t have to worry about the risk of slips and falls that comes with having to step over a high entry threshold. Instead, you can step right into the shower.
Consider the Material of Your Shower
Beyond its style, your new shower’s accessibility can also depend on the material it’s made from. Shower bases made from certain materials can be more slippery and lead to more safety risks, while others are designed to be better geared toward accessibility. For example, an acrylic shower is more anti-slip than showers made from tile would be. Not to mention, some showers are designed with non-slip flooring.
Think About the Accessories That Will Enhance the Safety of Your Shower
Accessorizing your shower doesn’t have to only be about creating an aesthetic you like. You can also enhance your new bathing fixture’s functionality by choosing the right features. When it comes to making the space a safer one, you can opt to include grab bars and shower seating. That way, you’re set up to enjoy your beautiful new shower without having to worry about any bathroom mishaps.
