Ideas for Independent Living The thoughtful design of this bathroom showcases traditional beauty while integrating features that ensure ease of use and mobility. Beyond the detailed wainscoting and soft, neutral color palette, this bathroom offers a number of design elements that increase accessibility and comfort. Color contrast between the floor and walls and fixtures helps with depth perception. Slightly rounded countertop eliminates sharp edges. Honed stone floors offer a more secure footing than polished stone or tile. Simple wooden reinforcement behind the walls allows grab bars to be anchored securely. Low-threshold bath eases entry and exit. Five-foot radius between lavatory, toilet and bath is large enough for wheelchair access. Task lighting on either side of the mirror helps with visibility as well as lighting within the shower.
