Family goals

Here are six tips for designing a bathroom the whole family will enjoy.

Start with accessibility

“A bathroom that is designed for the family starts at accessibility. This means having vanities, bathtubs, basins, and shelves that are of comfortable heights for adults, children and elders. DADOquartz accommodates this need by providing bathtubs with low-rim technology, making it easy to climb in and out of the bathtub safely, without the compromise of comfort or luxury.” – Elizma Nass, director of global business development and special projects at Destinkt.

It’s about quality

“Timeless fixtures serve as the heart of the bathroom. BAGNODESIGN offers a full bathroom solution of products that are future-proof in design and quality. Over-bath showers are perfect for family bathrooms as they accommodate everyone [no matter what age]. BAGNODESIGN’s M-Line Diffusion shower column paired with the DADOquartz Gabriella bathtub perfectly showcases a feasible tub-shower combination that is fitting for all ages and flattering for the modern bathroom interior.” – Elizma Nass, director of global business development and special projects at Destinkt.

Storage space is key

“With D-Neo, Bertrand Lejoly has created a bathroom range tailored to every lifestyle that caters for all facets of family life. A miracle of space, the wall-mounted vanity unit provides practical storage space with two drawers, a matching divider, and two open racks – perfect for the family bathroom.” – Karen Robyn, general manager at Duravit

Double-duty

“In the family bathroom, you are rarely alone – simplify the morning routine with a double washing area. D-Neo creates a contemporary feel-good atmosphere within a vibrant home. For harmonious co-existence in the bathroom, the round above-counter wash bowls (diameter of 400mm) can be positioned side by side or solo.” – Karen Robyn, general manager at Duravit

Undermount basins

“Undermount basins are also a great space saver, providing more counter space for everyone. The undermount basins from Victoria + Albert Baths provide a modern and stylish look to any bathroom, with an easy installation and a clean finish that will last for years to come.” – Ciska Naudé, marketing and sales assistant at Victoria + Albert Baths

Consider an adjustable shower column

“Consider a shower head that is fitted onto an adjustable shower column, so this can be adjusted to suit any family member’s height. Bella Bathrooms & Tiles is a preferred supplier of HansGrohe bathroom fittings, which include the CoolContact thermostatic mixer which protects the curious hands of mini explorers. This safety technology routes the cold water that flows through the thermostatic mixer directly to the surface, so the housing is always comfortably cool to the touch and every family member can move freely in the shower or bath tub.” – Cayley-Jade Smith, design consultant at Bella Bathrooms & Tiles
