Accessible and functionally adapted restrooms are essential for wheelchair users. When designing and implementing such facilities, it is crucial to consider spatial requirements, appropriate equipment, and clear signage to ensure easy navigation.

• The restroom must be spacious enough to allow unobstructed wheelchair maneuvering. A clear maneuvering space of at least 150 × 150 cm must be provided in front of the toilet and sink, with at least 90 cm available for lateral access to the toilet.
• The toilet must be equipped with grab bars on both sides, installed at a height of 70–83 cm and spaced 60–70 cm apart.
• The sink must be mounted at a height of 75–85 cm, with sufficient knee clearance for frontal access.
• The restroom must also include an emergency assistance alarm.

When adapting restrooms for people with disabilities, it is often overlooked that all elements of the space must be genuinely accessible to wheelchair users. Features such as light switches, hooks, soap dispensers, and waste bins should be installed at a height of 80–110 cm to ensure ease of use. A common mistake is placing hooks at standard heights that are out of reach or using foot-operated waste bins, which are impractical for wheelchair users.

Accessible restrooms are not just a legal requirement; they ensure equal access for everyone, promoting independence, safety, and dignity for people with disabilities.
