If you have a disability or you are struggle with mobility, having a walk in shower in your bathroom is a practical solution that will allow you to wash safely and independently. If you’re looking for inspiration, whether due to mobility needs or simply to modernise your existing accessible bathroom, there are plenty of ways to create a space that suits your requirements. In our latest blog, we’ll cover some walk-in shower ideas to help you design a space that’s functional, safe, and stylish.
Why a Walk-In Shower?
The main question is, why choose a walk in shower? Walk in showers are an ideal solution for people with limited mobility who want to avoid the struggle of trying to step into a high bath edge. These showers are designed for ease of access, making them perfect for people who want more independence in their daily routines. They’re also incredibly versatile, fitting into both small and large bathrooms.
At Bathroom Mobility Manchester, we specialise in creating walk in showers that are accessible without sacrificing on style.
Minimalistic Designs for Simplicity
If you prefer clean lines and simplicity, a minimalist walk in shower can be a great option. This design often features a frameless glass screen and a sleek shower tray, creating a seamless look. The focus is on functionality without clutter, which also makes it easy to maintain. We can install all the necessary accessories to make it fully accessible and functional, giving you peace of mind while you shower
Minimalist designs aren’t just about aesthetics—they’re practical too. Fewer barriers and smooth surfaces make them accessible, safe, and easy to use. If this sounds great, why not check out our Horizon model for a simple yet effective solution.
Safety Features That Don’t Sacrifice Style
Safety is key for many people considering a walk in shower, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. Modern walk in showers can include safety features such as grab rails, anti-slip flooring, and shower seats, all while looking sleek and elegant.
The good news is, these features can be incorporated in a way that’s barely noticeable but incredibly effective. You could choose stylish chrome grab bars or seat designs that blend with your bathroom’s aesthetic. Our Kinemagic Serenity Plus is a great example of a model that balances safety with aesthetics.
Why Not Customise Your Shower for Full Accessibility
One of the key benefits of a walk in shower is that it can be fully customised to suit your specific needs. If you use a wheelchair or other mobility aids, you’ll want a completely level entry, wide opening, and enough room to move around freely, You can even consider adding a foldable shower seat for comfort and ease.
Make The Most of Your Space with a Corner Walk In Shower
If your bathroom is on the smaller side, a corner walk in shower could be the perfect space-saving solution. By positioning the shower in the corner, you make the most of the available room while still enjoying the benefits of a walk in design.
This layout works especially well when paired with clear glass screens, which give the illusion of a larger, more open space. Not only is it practical, but it also helps create a clean, contemporary look. If you have a bathroom that is on the small side, why not check out our blog “Best Baths for Small Bathrooms” where we give our expert advice and tips on how you can get the most out of the space.
Use Great Quality Bathroom Furniture & Accessories
While practicality is important, there’s no reason why your walk in shower can’t also offer a touch of luxury. Why not add features such as a rainfall showerhead, body jets, or underfloor heating to make your shower and bathroom more enjoyable and comfortable. Plus, these added comforts are suitable for anyone, regardless of mobility, making your bathroom both functional and in keeping with your styling.
Wet Rooms for Maximum Accessibility
A wet room is another option for those looking for maximum accessibility. Wet rooms are fully waterproofed spaces where the shower is completely level with the floor, making them ideal for wheelchair users or those who need extra room to manoeuvre. At Bathroom Mobility Manchester, our team has transformed countless bathrooms across the North West into amazing wet rooms. And because they’re easy to clean, as there are no screens or trays to worry about, they offer a sleek, modern finish.
