subject: Tailoring Your Bathroom To Suit Your Family's Needs [print this page] Families can often suffer from an insufficient bathroom to suit the each member's needs. In order to keep the family home running smoothly, you need to ensure you have a functional bathroom which caters for each family members' requirements.
Family Members with Limited Mobility
If you have a family member with limited mobility living in your household it's important that the bathroom doesn't pose any risk of danger to their health. There are many ways in which you can improve your bathroom to ensure they're comfortable with using it.
Walk-in baths are incredibly popular for people who find it difficult to climb over the side of the bath in order to get in it. Walk-in baths provide an easy solution which can reduce the amount of accidents from slips which occur when attempting to climb in the bath.
Grab bars and handrails can also help all family members, especially those with restricted mobility to use the bathroom safely. They act as a steadying tool, which can be held on to when showering or climbing in the bath so they're less likely to have an accident. Bath tubs can be incredibly slippery in any household, so even if all your family are mobile it's a wise idea to have a grab bar, as injuries sustained from slipping in the bathroom are incredibly common and can be rather painful!
If you have a family member who is a wheel chair user residing in your home, using the bathroom can be an incredibly difficult task for them, particularly in small bathrooms. Wetrooms are the perfect solution to improve their bathroom functionality regardless of size, as no climbing into the bath or standing in the shower is required and the flooring is generally a special non-slip surface which reduces the risk of falls when the flooring is wet.
Large Families with Children
If you have children in your household you'll know what an experience bath-time can be! Many parents decide to bathe two children at once to save time, water and energy. Double ended baths are a convenient bathing option for multiple family members as both children, (and adults!) can bathe at each end of the bath without the discomfort of a tap digging into them.
If you have a large family it's likely that your bathroom will be filled with different family members' personal hygiene products and cosmetics. This can severely clutter your bathroom, leaving you no space to display any accessories. Vanity units or furniture runs are the perfect solution for bathroom clutter. They are extremely modern and well sought after within the luxury bathroom, due to their striking appearance and excellent storage facilities. You can place all your cosmetics, personal hygiene products and cleaning chemicals away in separate cabinets within the furniture run so they're out of sight.
Bathrooms are an essential room of the house and must be tailored to the family's needs to ensure optimum functionality. Simple changes to the bathroom can help to improve the way in which your family use the bathroom for their everyday personal hygiene routines.
