Yvette of @making_magnolia_home transformed not 1, but 2 bathrooms in her family bungalow. Although the previous bathrooms were up to a good standard, devastatingly Yvette's husband had a serious car crash which left him with life changing injuries and the need for a much more accessible home. Read on to hear how Yvette created a beautiful, accessible family home.
"The primary goal of redesigning both the main bathroom and the little loo was to create fully accessible spaces for my husband, James, while maintaining a luxurious and cohesive aesthetic that complements the rest of our home. I designed both bathrooms to ensure they not only addressed the accessibility challenges identified in occupational health reports but also reflected our style and vision for a high-end, functional home."
"The original layout of the main bathroom presented numerous barriers to accessibility. The shower was unsafe due to a step, a slippery tray, and a door that awkwardly opened onto the toilet. Additionally, the proximity of the cabinetry made it difficult for James to maneuver safely."
"The redesign resolved all these issues by creating a more open and accessible layout, incorporating subtle but effective accessibility features that blend seamlessly into the design. The result is a spacious, luxurious bathroom with stunning cabinetry that combines elegance and practicality."

"The little loo also required significant changes to ensure safety and functionality. Previously, it couldn’t accommodate a frame if needed, and the wall-hung vanity had become unstable, posing a risk as James relied on it for support."
"The design for this space introduced discreet accessibility features within a layout that prioritises usability and style. The updated space retains a sophisticated, high-end feel, ensuring safety without sacrificing elegance."
