Here's the follow up video with loads of tips for a Universal Designed Bathroom! Enjoy! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5hmpLt2zNiqcWw.html

I watched umpteenth bathroom interior design videos. Yours is the only one that offers actually useful, pragmatic advice - keep it up!

You were born to teach! Your voice, facial hands, and body gestures are engaging and effective. Thank you very very much.

I would love a universal design video for bathrooms! We will be renovating a very small bathroom in our circa 1925 condo for retirement. Want to replace the tub with a curb less shower.

Yes please to Universal Design! Thank you for another great video

This is why I like to listen to multiple designers because you always get one nugget that the others left out. Great information! Subscribed!

I'm really glad you have made a point about the toilet. I have recently looked at some designs of some modern houses and I really don't like where they have put the bathroom. These houses are expensive and I don't like how the bathroom opens near the kitchen.

I had to keep pausing this video to take notes! It's so nice to have a designer giving truly helpful tips rather than just talk about trends. A bathroom is a work space. This video was so helpful for designing a truly safe and functional space.

Thank you for clarifying the benefits of Universal Design for everybody. Hopefully, these will become standard in the future. For now, (sigh) my bubble-gum pink 1960s bathroom will just have to do. Thanks for another great video. When watching your videos, I always learn something new, or start thinking in another direction.

Yes on universal design features!

So great to see your suggestions and layouts. Ive just renovated my bathroom. Its very very small, so it was difficult to have many designs or choices. Your ideas are very valuable and exciting. I had to keep my storage minimal. My scales and rubbish bin were important as was my toilet paper bin. But im happy with my small space. I just wanted a simple and easy bathroom at minimal cost. I demolished my bathroom myself renovated it too with herringbone sheet tiles and small hexagon ceramic tiles which was hard but I did it. I couldn't move much around but i went with a shower after taking out the 1960s bath tub and horrible popped vanity and flooring. I live by myself and very pleased with my work. Your ideas were very helpful. Thank you for such a wealth of expertise. Anne NZ

Yes

YES PLEASE Universal Design 👏🏽👏🏽

YES! I would love a Universal Design video! You always have such great ideas!!

Yes for a universal design video. We will be renovating our 1930s home and want to age in place. Thanks!

Yes please. I am interested especially for elderly, wheelchair access.

Just watched this again, and her recommendations are excellent, especially about storage.

Yes to universal design. Sensible info. Thanks 🙏

Yes!! So knowledgeable! I’m a student of interior design and I learn so much from your videos! Thank you so much.

YES

Another great video! Thank you for sharing and teaching us the how and the why of home design! Yes, please share universal design.

I too would love to see a universal design video.

Great video - points were clearly understood. I'm normally the type of person who has to speed up and skip through a video but with your delivery I find myself staying for the whole video. What is your opinion on curbless showers but the floor of the shower is lower than the surrounding space?

It's amazing how virtually every bathroom remodel I see on H&G have no medicine cabinet and stingy storage. Amazing.

Yes! Universal design, please.

Unfortunately, commercial homebuilders don't always follow these commonsense rules. I'm talking about windowless bathrooms and powder rooms in the entire house. There's no way around them, esp. for that windowless powder room with an outward opening door that's just inside the front entry door and right across from the kitchen. Although the powder room has no sightlines of the toilet and sink from the kitchen, the location itself is problematic -- too close to the front door and too close to the kitchen that is partially open by a pony wall that borders the 12-ft entry hall. That builder went out of business two decades if you're wondering....

Yes please

YES! that would be a great video.

Yes please make a universal design video. I am getting ready to renovate my bathroom.

YES Please

Yes please - I am about to build and bathrooms are so important.

Great job.

Yes, the more info you can share, the better

Love your video, great tips. In general, the comfort high toilets confuse me slightly. For us shorties, they are definitely not comfortable. But I would think that the shorter toilets would overall be better for all people relieving themselves (thinking about the squatty potty). Is the comfort height more beneficial for standing back up after being seated?

PLEASE!!!! Just. Say. NOOOO!!!! to a "water closet" unless it is a "walk in closet" size:. They are hard to clean especially behind the toilet. Even harder to maneuver in if you have plumbing issues or mobility issues that are permanent or temporary. And, if you ever want or need to paint.... it is gruelling. It is also a claustrophobic experience for some people,. AND, if you insist on going down this road anyway, make sure you figure out where you are going to keep the extra toilet paper and... a plunger, and perhaps your toilet bowl cleaner. You will need these things.. Nothing worse than realizing you are out of toilet paper and need to leave "the closet" to get some more. A plunger. There is something we all use but no one ever thinks about "where am I going to store this fugly thing?" Yep.... we have a three sided "water closet: and I hate it. For every single reason I have just said. I am not that tall, 5:3 and I hate my knees banging into the side walls. We will be renovating soon and this wall is getting cut down to about 12" or so, enough to make an enclave above the toilet where some floating shelves can go. Much nicer, much more practical. Far easier to keep clean behind the toilet. Please do not listen to idiot designers (which Designer Chick is not) and home builders or renovators who want to give you things that look good, but do NOT function well. It should always be make it work well, function well, practical... then make it pretty.

yes on the universal video!!

Thanks for a great video!

yes

I can’t do any of the designs listed. I live in a ranch 60s duplex. The bthrm was converted to a bath and a half. My remodel/carpenter is my brother and he isn’t about to spend countless hrs on my home.

Yes to universal design!

YES to a Universal design video. Thanks!

Thank you very much for all the details Universal Design! Love it!🤩

Universal Design is a huge benefit for all people. IMO it is equivalent to putting insurance into yourself. If one is to become disabled from injury, disease, ext. -having a home to live in and ready to go while working on therapy would save a lot of stress. Plus our health care system is all about home health. Email me for info related to home health nurses assessment of home safety. I am so excited to learn more!

YES!

Yes!! Get to work!! I’m excited to learn all about it!!

My new bathroom installed in 2004 has a bathtub sunken 18 inches below the floor level. I was a Senior when advised to do this. Can you imagine any advice to be worse? At 78 years of age I now have the nightmare of removing the bath and converting into a shower. Regards and thank you from Sydney, Australia.

Yes please! We’re renovating our ensuite in early spring for aging in place so this would be very timely. I’m confused about where and how high to place necessary elements. What needs to be considered to accommodate a walker, should that ever become necessary? Love your videos!

YES! Universal design is so important.

thanks for sharing and presenting in such a usable way

I think this needed more time. Most bathrooms feel so restricted. Especially the location of the toilet which is usually too close to the shower

Great Big Yes for universal design. Many thanks madam

I'd be interested to know how one would tackle bathroom placement in an old house that has no hallways, just connected rooms. Currently, one has to walk through one of two bedrooms to get to the only bathroom in the house. We're currently looking at turning a room is classified as a bedroom into a second bathroom, because it's the only place we could i stall a bathroom without access. The thing is, this room located right off of the dining room.

Thank you so much for your excellent video. I learned a lot and would love to see a whole video on universal design.

Haha, Nick Lewis said recently that you can hide it, but everyone knows you have a toilet in there.

I have to disagree with 'curbless' shower floors. I have an elderly mum & she has a walker. We are taking out her bath & making the space into a walk in shower... but keeping a very low rounded curb. The reason: to contain the water. In the many curbless walk in showers I've seen - water always flows out of the shower area, even when angles slope to the drainage hole. It is also dangerous when an elderly person steps out of the shower area on to wet floor. Curbless showers ALWAYS need mopping of the bathroom floors after, & many elderly start getting too cold if they don't get dressed quickly. Also their clothes can get wet from the wet floors if they like to dress in the bathroom.

Love your videos, educational and inspirational.

Both of my bathrooms touch exterior walls but for some reason neither have a window. 🤯 And to top it off the master bathroom toilet sits center to BOTH doorways so unless I’m willing to have the toilet relocated then I can’t remove the extra door that separates the toilet and shower from the vanity and closet. Wish the builder had watched your video!!!

Great tips! I'd love to see a video about Universal Design.

Thank you for great video!

Yes! Thanks!

“There’s nothing worse than feeling like your beautiful freestanding bathtub has been shoehorned into your small bathroom.” I beg to differ. Being my height and having to use a 5’ bathtub is worse. 😂

Thank you for this ⭐️

Great advice

If you're sectioning off a WC area for the toilet, how wide does this space need to be?

Thank you 👏👏always giving great advice

No free-standing tub for me. That means there would need to be a shower, which needs the glass cleaned after every use. I've designed a bathroom with separate vanities, two toilets, and a shower that needs no glass or shower curtain. I'm past retirement age and my knees won't allow for getting in or out of a tub. I know-- resale value... I don't decorate for the next owners. I make it like I need it to be. Next one can do the same.

Yes thank love ❤️

Hi great video! can you use curbless shower on a second floor bathroom?

I have yet to find a "convenient" height toilet with a 20" high seat. Will you please advise where I can get one? We're pretty tall in my family, this would very much be appreciated.

yes please UD

yes, universal

Yes to universal

Check your local codes. Our codes don’t allow for chandeliers above the bath tub. They also require ventilation. If you don’t meet codes you may have to fix it before selling your house.

So, what, if anything can we do with a renovation by a previous owner that placed the toilet at the far end of the central hallway facing directly at the front door. Help!

I’d love a bathroom video for elderly
