How to Create a Family-Friendly Bathroom

Your bathroom space is actually one of the most dangerous spots in your home since it’s the most common location for slips, falls and other accidents. This is why it’s important to ensure that your bathroom is safe for you and the rest of your family. In this post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Ogden, a top bathroom remodel company, shares the things you need to know to create a family-friendly bathroom.

Safety Is the Top Priority

Keep in mind that your bathroom sees a lot of foot traffic and the floor can become slippery and wet throughout the day. You can add an extra layer of safety in your bathroom by installing an accessible shower. Another option is to use a walk-in tub or low-entry shower unit to replace your bathtub and stop water from leaking onto the floor. Other viable solutions include installing a shower bar or a moveable seat to increase safety while you’re showering. Lastly, you can’t go wrong by adding a slip-resistant bath mat.

Personalize the Experience

Your bathroom remodeling contractors will encourage you to install hardware that all family members can use. For example, you can choose showerheads that are versatile, such as those with adjustable and multifunctional features. It’s also a great idea to add a shower column since it adds a lot of flexibility because the showerhead can be adjusted to the user’s comfort.

Opt for Low-Maintenance Options

Despite its small space, a bathroom requires a lot of upkeep. This is why it’s in your best interest to choose durable and low-maintenance surfaces to ensure that it’s easy to keep clean. One of the best options that you can pick are nonporous bathroom tiles so that you don’t need to worry about cleaning grout often. This is better than other common finishes like acrylic and fiberglass.
