Tucked in the hills of West Salem, this primary bathroom remodel was driven by both an immediate need and a long-term vision. After recovering from a fall, the homeowner needed a space that could safely support daily routines while adapting to future mobility needs—without sacrificing comfort or beauty.

The previous layout presented several challenges. A large jetted tub took up valuable space, while a small fiberglass shower and enclosed toilet room made the bathroom difficult to navigate. The overall footprint felt tight, inefficient, and limiting for both independent use and assisted care.

We fully reimagined the layout to prioritize openness, accessibility, and peace of mind. A zero-threshold, roll-in tile shower with integrated grab bars and a built-in bench creates a safe yet elevated bathing experience. A custom vanity includes roll-under access at one sink, paired with a standalone storage cabinet and refined finishes that bring balance to the space. Removing the enclosed toilet room improved flow and allows for greater flexibility when assistance is needed.

Widened doorways, a new pocket door, improved lighting, and continuous flooring into the bedroom follow universal design principles for long-term usability.

The result is a bathroom that feels open, calm, and beautifully considered—proving that accessibility and thoughtful design can come together to create a space that supports daily life while still feeling like a place you enjoy being in.
