If you want more room around the bed, a roughly 11 x 10-foot area gets you 36 inches around the bed. A room that is about 10 x a little over 9 feet, would provide a minimum clearance of 30 inches. But these two adjoining spaces also required a spacious walkway that would make it easy to move between them. If you decide you can handle a queen bed in your master bedroom, you need at least 92 sqft.

Clear floor spaces at fixtures and entry routes are allowed to overlap with the wheelchair turning space. The Layout: 'In this bedroom, we had a good size layout to work with, and a very open flow between the balcony and primary bathroom spaces,' recalls Morford. The Layout: A long, horizontal layout with the shower and the bathtub on opposite ends of the room. Doors should have a minimum width of 32” (81.3 cm) and cannot swing into the required clear space of the accessible bathroom. This design from Mindy Gayer is perfect for a long, narrow bathroom space. Requiring enough internal clear floor space for a wheelchair to make a 180° turn, accessible bathrooms must have either a 60” (152.5 cm) diameter turning circle or a T-shaped turning space located within a 60” (152.5 cm) square with a minimum of 36” (91.4 cm) wide arms. Overall bathroom sizes will vary based on the actual dimensions of bathroom fixtures. The walk-in shower is half hidden at the rear corner. The difference is only 16 inches, but the effect is to create a cosy, secluded space. Here, two steps take you down from the main floor to the bathroom. Consult local building codes for accessibility requirements. Another way to add interest to your home is to play with different levels. Accessible residential bathrooms are bathrooms designed for wheelchair users in residential zones that provide enough clear floor space for a wheelchair to turn. Framed artwork on the walls, a vintage-style runner, and a sculptural stool are some of the decorative touches that make this primary bathroom from the team at interior design firm Leclair Decor feel polished, comfortable, and as stylized as any other room in the house.
