Is Your Bathroom Too Small for an Accessible Remodel? Let’s Find the Best Solution Together

At BFA, LLC, we understand that making your home more accessible is about more than just meeting guidelines—it’s about ensuring comfort, safety, and independence for you or your loved ones. One of the most common concerns we hear is, “Is my bathroom too small for an accessible remodel?”

If you have a compact bathroom, you might worry that there's not enough space to accommodate wheelchair accessibility or handicap accessible remodeling features. The good news? There are creative, effective solutions to make even small bathrooms more accessible, functional, and safe—without needing a major expansion.

Understanding Accessibility in Small Bathrooms

When remodeling for accessibility, we follow ADA guidelines whenever possible, but in residential settings, we can adapt the design to fit your space while improving mobility. Here are some key factors we consider:

• Doorway Access: A standard wheelchair requires a minimum 32-inch door width, but if your door is too narrow, we can install offset hinges or a pocket door to maximize entry space.

• Turning Space: Ideally, a wheelchair needs a 60-inch turning radius, but when that isn’t feasible, we can explore T-turn layouts or more compact solutions.

• Toilet Placement & Support: By using wall-mounted toilets or compact models, we can free up space while still ensuring proper support with grab bars and railings.

• Shower & Bath Accessibility: A roll-in shower or curbless shower can be a game-changer in small spaces. If a full roll-in design isn’t possible, we can install a walk-in tub or modify an existing tub with grab bars, seating, and handheld showerheads.

• Sink & Vanity Adjustments: A floating or wall-mounted sink creates more space underneath for wheelchair users while maintaining functionality.

Custom Solutions for Your Home

Every home is unique, and so are the people living in it. That’s why at BFA, LLC, we take a personalized approach to handicap accessible remodeling. Whether your space is tight or irregularly shaped, we focus on practical, thoughtful modifications that enhance safety and usability without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.

Some of the small-bathroom solutions we offer include:

✔ Door modifications (widening doorways, using pocket doors, or installing offset hinges)
✔ Rearranging fixtures for better maneuverability
✔ Installing compact, ADA-compliant fixtures
✔ Adding grab bars, non-slip flooring, and safety supports
✔ Smart storage solutions that keep essentials within reach while maximizing space
