Many people assume that making your bathroom mobility-friendly will involve lots of cords, frames, and grab rails, which can clutter up the space and make the room unattractive.

This is, luckily, not the case; there are options to make your bathroom retain its aesthetics while also being accessible for older family members who may not have the dexterity that they once had.

So, what are the steps needed to create a mobility-friendly bathroom? Our team at Beautiful Bathroom walks you through our guide to doing just that here.

Higher Toilet Seats

A lot of people don’t realize how hard it can be to sit on a lower toilet seat when they have mobility issues, such as arthritis. Also, when it comes to accessible bathroom equipment, it can be hard to think of a way to make a toilet seat more accessible. 

Of course, our team has the solution; we can provide you with a higher toilet seat, so the motion between standing and sitting is not too extreme, helping you to stay comfortable and happy in your home.

Curbless Showers

If you or a loved one are in a wheelchair, then you will want a bathtub that doesn’t have curbs. Many people who have mobility issues find standing over a bath lip to take a shower difficult and, as such, would prefer a walk-in option.

Our team at Beautiful Bathroom can provide you with a curb or lipless shower in your home without the hassle of needing to redesign the entire space. This will help you to take showers as and when needed, without the assistance of someone else, thereby promoting independence.

Walk-In Baths



If you cannot afford to have a wet room fitted, the next best thing for many people with mobility issues is a walk-in bath. This will allow you to enjoy a relaxing bath without bending your legs or using your hips.

The walk-in baths that we offer at Beautiful Bathroom come in a range of sizes and can be made deeper to accommodate the use of a bath chair. We can guarantee that all of our baths are watertight, so there is no need to worry about spills or leaks. 

Of course, our team is also happy to install our walk-in baths in your home, so call us if this sounds like an upgrade you want!

Grab Rails

We know that many people with mobility issues may find it hard to bend over when using their bathroom appliances, like a toilet. So, it can be harder to stand up when you have finished. 

You can get grab rails online to place around your toilet, but our team at Beautiful Bathroom can offer more secure and easier-to-attach grab rails, which will help you or your loved one to stand and bend as needed. 

Non-Slip Mats

If you are someone who has issues with your mobility or you are older, there are statistically two places in the home where you are more likely to have a fall, with the bathroom being one of them. 

The floor can become slippery, and if you don’t have an extractor fan, humidity can cause water to pool on the floor, increasing the likelihood of an accident. So, we recommend getting hold of some non-slip mats. You can purchase these from our website at Beautiful Bathroom. While other providers may make these mats look a bit out of place, ours are designed to blend in with most bathroom décor.
