Increase Bath Accessibility with Inexpensive Remodeling Tips

Increase the accessibility of your bathroom to improve safety and usability for those with limited mobility with these inexpensive bathroom remodeling tips.

Consider a recessed vanity for your bathroom sink to make it easier to access from a wheelchair or walker. Install a wall mount sink for even better clearance. Watch the video about how to install a wall mount sink at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYY5ZDq_hCA

A lever style faucet is easier to grip than traditional faucets. Also consider a pivotal mirror for people of different heights. Don't forget storage. Also consider a window with a crank handle in your bathroom.

A zero clearance threshold shower helps prevent tripping. Also install grab bars in your shower. For installation instructions for a grab bar, watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYt4UigHv0w

Shower seats can make showering more comfortable. Consider replacing the shower head with a handheld shower head. Use liquid soap instead of bar soap, and add traction strips to the bottom of the tub. Install toilets with chair height seating.

Motion sensor light switches mean you're never entering a dark room. Contrasting colors help mark handles and space transitions. Remove rugs and replace the door threshold with a low profile threshold.
