Hucclecote, Gloucester
When stairs became difficult, the owners of this 1960s chalet bungalow needed a shower room on the ground floor. The old box room by the front door turned out to be the perfect spot.
A level access shower tray with a low glass screen makes stepping in easy, with a fold down seat and white grab rails that look smart rather than clinical. A comfort height toilet and a basin with storage underneath complete the room.
Non slip floor tiles and bright lighting make it safe and practical without feeling like a hospital.
