Kitchen & Bath Business - April 2020 - 37
pleasantly surprised that they came as part of the accessories suite and are
decorative as well as functional in polished chrome.
Although the vanity width remained about the same based on spatial
allowances in the bathroom, the new one is taller at 34 inches plus the countertop, which brings it up to 36 inches.This comfort height, which mimics a
kitchen counter, requires less bending.
Lighting can be a key factor in accessibility, so Mann made sure there
would be plenty of it. In addition to the vanity lighting, there is recessed
lighting in the shower and lighting in the cabinet above the toilet. Luckily,
the client already had an ADA-compliant toilet, so there was no need to
source a new one.
KEEPING THE DESIGN FRESH
The previous bathroom was builder grade with oak cabinets and a Hollywood-style lightbulb bar on the vanity mirror, so it needed an almost total
refresh. But one aspect that did not change is the color of the walls, which are
still green. Nevertheless, the same color in a new coat looks brighter thanks
to the lighter vanity, taller mirror and updated vanity lighting.
The homeowner favors crystal, which was worked into the design in the
decorative vanity light. Crystal knobs on the vanity and cabinet above the
toilet bring more glam to the bathroom, however, Mann understood that they
would not boost accessibility. In this case, the client was adamant about using
the same knobs she loved in her kitchen, and the aesthetic was most important. However, the faucet and door handles are levers to allow for easy use.
This homeowner was interested in accessible solutions from the outset
of the project, but that isn't always the case. When clients are more hesitant,
Mann begins by asking questions about how long they plan to stay in the
house and suggests simply planning for the future like blocking for grab bars
during a renovation even if they will not be installed at that time. Comfortheight vanities, additional lighting and zero-entry doorways and showers are
other ways to add accessibility without conceding on style.
"There are little things you can do that make a bit of impact but don't feel
like an 'aging-in-place' bathroom," she said. "It's function, but it's form, and
there is a beauty and aesthetic to it."
