Comfortable showers
Do you want a bath- room update that will be stylish and
functional for many years to come? More homeown- ers than ever are renovat- ing using universal design principles that allow these spaces to serve people of varying ages and abilities. This provides numerous im- portant benefits, including higher levels of safety and increased property value.
UNIVERSAL DESIGN BASICS
Universal design creates an environment that is ac- cessible to all people to the greatest extent possible. That means a bathroom will function as well for a child as it does for a senior.

Keep in mind, you don’t have to sacrifice aesthetics to achieve the functional goals of universal design. More op- tions than ever are available for enhancing the bathroom’s safety and functionality while adding luxurious upgrades that are as useful as they are eye-catching.
When function and fashion blend like this in home im- provements, it can add signifi- cant value to your property. Consider one of the year’s top bathroom design trends: curbless showers with linear
drains. This creates a barrier- free experience that is visually appealing, making it ideal for the universal design home.

such as a shower wheelchair. Curbless showers also pro- vide an open feel, which makes the space feel larger because visual lines are not disrupted.
