The toilet\u2019s centerline should be 18 inches (46 cm) from any side wall to allow space for a grab bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, leave about 40 inches (102 cm) to one side of the toilet to allow transfer space from the wheelchair to the toilet. In front of the transfer space, allow a 60-inch (152 cm) turning circle for rotating the wheelchair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also consider a \u201ccomfort height\u201d toilet, which is taller than the standard height. This is helpful for many users as it requires less strain on the back and knees as one sits and stands up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Toilet centerline: <strong>18 inches (46 cm) from the side wall<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Turning circle: <strong>60 inches (152 cm) in front<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transfer space: <strong>40 inches (102 cm) to one side<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Sink-Height-and-Clearance\">Sink Height and Clearance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/04133115\/wheelchair-space-under-sink.jpg\" alt=\"Modern bathroom sink mounted on a tiled wall with clear wheelchair space underneath, featuring a black faucet, soap dispensers on the right, and a towel hanging on the wall, with a mirror and shower visible in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-20832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/04133115\/wheelchair-space-under-sink.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/04133115\/wheelchair-space-under-sink-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/04133115\/wheelchair-space-under-sink-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/04133115\/wheelchair-space-under-sink-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>The sink and vanity counter height is an important consideration for mobility. When standing at the sink, you don\u2019t want to have to bend over too far. A vanity height of about 36 inches (91 cm) is comfortable for most people, since it helps prevent hunching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re <a href=\"\/blog\/make-your-home-wheelchair-accessible\/\">designing for a wheelchair user<\/a>, aim lower. A sink mounted around 34 inches (86 cm) is easier to reach when seated. To make it fully accessible, choose a pedestal sink or a vanity with open space underneath instead of drawers or cabinets. This way, a wheelchair can roll directly up to the sink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The recommended clearance underneath is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>28 inches (71 cm) high <\/strong>(floor to counter bottom)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>30\u201336 inches (91 cm) wide<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>11\u201325 inches (64 cm) deep<\/strong> (from the front of the counter)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These dimensions can be adjusted to suit the user.

Additionally, the shower space should be generously sized, as a caregiver or spouse may need to help with the bathing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommendation is generally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>36 inches (91 cm) wide<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>60 inches (152 cm) deep<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>36 inches (91 cm) wide entry<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The shower entry should ideally be flat (curbless) so that a wheelchair can roll directly in. If you add a bench to the shower, one good option is a fold-up bench that can be moved out of the way if needed. Or, add a simple shower chair or stool. Other universal design ideas include a handheld shower and several grab bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do want to include a bathtub, one option is a specialty walk-in tub that contains a small door. Another option is to install a grab bar near the tub entrance, plus install the tub into a surround with a wide ledge on which a person can sit and rotate their legs into the tub.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Accessible-Design-Standards\">Accessible Design Standards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ada.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)<\/a>\u00a0is a useful reference.
