1980's Bathroom to Elegant Accessible Spa Bathroom
Our out-dated bathroom was unsuitable for a disabled family
member: the bath was too narrow and too high, and the shower area too small to
accommodate a stool for sitting. Inspired
by hundreds of Houzz pics, we wanted a beautiful bathroom that was also multi-functional and easily accessible. bathing
space we needed. The disability
specialists we approached could only think of the clinical hospital-style bathrooms
they were used to. Thankfully local building services company Colcro Ltd came to our rescue.They installed our extra wide and deep Japanese bath was installed on a new sunken floor, height adjusted for our family member. A wet floor space next to the bath has an overhead rainforest shower providing ample room for a seat whilst showering. Beyond the room wide glass shower doors a stylish wash room contains a wall hung toilet, countertop basin and wall-mounted taps. To enhance the feeling of space the bathroom door matched the washroom walls. Hydrotherapy jets, air jets, and chromatherapy lights in the bath, were combined with chromatherapy downlights in the ceiling for their health boosting properties. Finishing touches in the walnut floating shelves and high-quality Thibault wallpaper, raise the overall look and feel of the new bathroom to that of an elegant spa. Thank you Colcro

Comments (17)Hi Stefka, The bathroom is coming along nicely. Is the bath panel a match to the sink base? What material is the floor, vinyl or wood? If it's wood and you're not happy with the colour, have you considered either bleaching it, then colour washing it to a similar colour to the tiles around the bath or staining it darker? (Going darker will make the bathroom seem smaller.) To keep the textures and colours as simple as possible, paint the plaster walls a colour that is 2-3 shades lighter than the square wall tiles. A different colour will chop the room up more. A big mirror over the sink ledge, wall to wall, will make a huge difference to the feel of the room. It will reflect light all around and visually double the space. Colour can be added through towels and accessories like special bottles for oils and lotions. Your tiles look to be a pinky beige so look at neutrals or pale turquoise.

They will give you light if you angle the louvres and total privacy at night. http://www.purelyshutters.co.uk/window-shutters/plantation-shutters/waterproof Because your window is in the shower area, fabric will rot and mildew very easily. Plastic shutters can be wiped down with ammonia and water in the course of cleaning the bathroom and allow access to the window for cleaning and ventilation....See MoreWhich bathroom layout to go with ??
Comments (5)Option 1 or 4. Option 1 - would depend on which way you access your cupboard and how desperate you are for the storage it provides. Option 4 - I would flip the door to open the other direction and consider changing the radiator to a towel radiator. This option will give the more spacious feel at the sacrifice of the cupboard. There are ways to incorporate additional storage, such as making a full cabinet under the sink....See MoreIdeas needed for this bathroom
