(What is Universal Design for Bathrooms?)

A universal design bathroom refers to a bathroom design that can be used by a variety of people and their needs. Universal design is the ultimate blend of aesthetic and function for those without or with special needs. In universal design, it’s important that a special needs function does not make the space unusable or uncomfortable for one without the need. This is in contrast to an ADA space that would please special needs above the lack of that need. The special functionality of a universal design can be as simple as building in certain function and ease of use for those who live with physical disabilities or limitations. A universally designed bathroom may contain some or all of the following functions including: roll in or curbless showers, special access bathtubs, easy-access shower seats, grab bars, accessible countertops, high-rise toilets, as well as the everyday accessories that we use such as cabinetry, counter tops, mirrors and storage. Universal design bathrooms do not have to be cold and institutional; they can be custom designed with warm and comfortable amenities, with style and luxury.
