Superior home design isn\u2019t just about style\u2014it\u2019s also about comfort. Ultimately, every room in your home should be designed to work for your body, providing as <\/span>easeful and safe an experience<\/span><\/a> as possible. This may be most important in a bathroom, where height can play a significant role in your comfort. And as most bathrooms are designed for the <\/span>average height<\/span><\/a> (5\u20197\u201d for men, 5\u20193\u201d for women), your remodel may require some adjustments to better suit your stature. Follow our tips below to design the bathroom that fits your height!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n Your bathroom routine likely includes a good portion of time spent at your vanity. Whether brushing your teeth, applying makeup or perfecting a clean shave, interaction with your vanity generally involves bending over to open drawers or access the sink. If your vanity is not positioned or designed to fit your height, you may experience discomfort in your back, hips and shoulders after completing your routine. To prevent these issues with your remodel, you have some options:<\/span><\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve selected the vanity that best suits your height, you can better determine where to place any mirrors above it. Bending or stretching for reflective access will only make it difficult to get the most practical use out of your vanity space. We suggest placing the center of your mirror at eye level, but you may also want to test placement a few inches above your sink faucet\u2019s highest point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Note that you\u2019ll cover more space with larger mirrors. If family members of varying heights will use your bathroom, you may need a bigger mirror to ensure that most people can easily see themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n Height-suitable design may be most important in wet spaces. Showers and baths are often part of a relaxation routine, and truly unwinding can be difficult if you are required to crouch or strain for water access\u2014which could ultimately be dangerous on slippery surfaces!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Where you mount your showerhead can make all the difference, but placement may depend on available wall space. It\u2019s common to install the showerhead at 72-78 inches above the bathroom floor (actually below the recommended 80 inches), but this can vary widely. Try a curved or S-shaped showerhead for additional height that extends beyond the showerhead base placement. And for more flexibility that depends less on specific placement, explore adjustable height bars or even <\/span>handshowers<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n
