Universal Design; how it’s shaping our Kitchen & Bath Designing as we move forward.

In a recent discussion in the NKBA Kitchen & Bath Pro Hub, members explored how universal design is evolving in kitchen and bath spaces.

The conversation is shifting from compliance to design.

Accessibility features are being integrated into thoughtful, elevated design—from curbless showers and seamless tile to grab bars and other elements that prioritize both beauty and usability.

Where do you think universal design is headed next?
