How to design a designer “bathroom for the disabled”

When setting up a bathroom for non-autonomous persons in the home, specific requirements and sufficient manoeuvring space must be taken into account. Functionality and accessibility take precedence over any other considerations, but aesthetics need not be sacrificed.

A safe and functional and yet beautiful bathroom

Bathroom fixtures and washbasins for people with disabilities or mobility problems are almost always designed by prioritising the technical aspects that facilitate their use by those affected and their caregivers. However, if you don't want to give upmodern bathroom design, it is not easy to find on the market products that aim for a compromise between aesthetics and functionality.
