Beauty Meets Function: Master Bathroom Remodel

In every project we complete, design, form, function and safety are all important aspects to a successful space plan. For the Koonz family, it was an absolute must.

The Koonz family had some unique needs that needed to be addressed. As physical abilities continued to change, the accessibility and safety in their master bathroom was a significant concern.

BEFORE BATHROOM REMODEL PHOTOS

From the photos above, the challenges the Koonz family faced was the ability to maneuver a wheelchair in and around their master bathroom, clearly access the vanity and safely use the shower and toilet. The current layout and fixtures didn’t allow for that easy access nor did it provide that extra sense of security that strategically placed grab bars can provide.

AFTER BATHROOM REMODEL PHOTOS

The layout of the bathroom was the first to change. We swapped places with the tub and vanity to give better access to both. A beautiful chrome grab bar was added along with matching towel bar and towel ring.

The vanity was changed out and now featured an angled cut-out for easy access for a wheelchair to pull completely up to the sink while protecting knees and legs from exposed plumbing and looking gorgeous doing it.

The toilet came out of the corner and we eliminated the privacy wall, giving it far easier access with a wheelchair. The original toilet was in great shape and we were able to reuse it. But now, it is equipped with much-needed chrome grab bars for added safety and convenience.

The shower was moved and reconstructed to allow for a larger walk-in tile shower with stylish chrome grab bars, an adjustable handheld showerhead and a comfortable fold-down shower bench – proving a bathroom can (and should) be functionally safe AND aesthetically beautiful at the same time.
