 
                    Grab rails, shower seats, and walk-in baths used to scream “hospital.” Not anymore. In 2025, manufacturers are focusing on both design and functionality. Think matte black finishes, brushed brass grab bars that double as towel rails, and sleek foldaway shower seats that match your overall style.
Our tip: Choose accessories in the same finish as your taps and hardware for a cohesive, high-end look.
Who says practicality can’t look stunning? Level-access and walk-in showers are essential for those with reduced mobility, but they’re also a standout design trend. Think spa-like luxury with large-format tiles, sleek wet-room glass, and minimalist drainage.
The best part? These stylish spaces aren’t just accessible — they’re easier to clean and elevate the look of any bathroom.
 
                     
                    Comfort-height toilets and basins are a discreet way to improve usability without sacrificing style. Paired with sensor taps or lever-operated mixers, these features make a big difference for people with arthritis, mobility issues, or limited grip strength.
Motion-activated lighting and LED strip lights under vanity units or around mirrors don’t just look great — they also help with night-time navigation and reduce trip hazards. Task lighting in the shower and around basins also supports those with visual impairments.
 
                     
                    Many 2025 designs are taking into account care-assisted routines. Larger turning circles, double-entry wet rooms, and thoughtfully placed storage make bathrooms safer and more convenient, whether you're using the space alone or with help.
Whether you’re renovating for a loved one with reduced mobility or planning for the future, accessible bathroom design should reflect your taste, not compromise it.
