IKEA Unveils A Sleek New Collection To Make Your Bathroom More Accessible

There are things we know are going to be hard in life; taxes, rush hour traffic, and property maintenance are just scratching the surface of the hurdles involved with adulting. If you have mobility issues that make daily activities more challenging, you should have products around you that keep this extra hurdle from occupying a lot more energy than needed for the everyday parts of being human. Grab onto any ways to make your home more accessible without renovating. IKEA's new BÄSINGEN series is stepping forward to help you do this on a budget and without sacrificing style.

Its sleek collection of bathroom accessories is inclusive on many levels. Plus, you can stretch some of these products' uses beyond the bathroom. Rounded corners and thick grips make these varied racks and stools easy to use, the charcoal gray color is easy to see, and IKEA's low prices make them easy to purchase. You can snag the entire line for just under $150.

The six pieces in the IKEA BÄSINGEN series are meant for every human to use with ease and could be part of a priceless bathroom design. The collection consists of a shower shelf, a shower stool, a toilet paper holder, and a towel rack. Also included is a one-step stepstool as well as a two-step model, both sporting tall handrails that you can install on either side of the stool. These six items are crafted with smooth tubular metal with graspable girth. While IKEA chose the color anthracite for trouble-free visibility, each piece is minimal enough not to divert attention from your decor.

Wâtte Zijlstra, IKEA's Product Design Developer, shared that in creating this line, the company's hope was to meet the needs of all people at all stages of their lives. The modern visual appeal of BÄSINGEN is meant to look great without being a flashing red light that it's meant to improve accessibility. IKEA's senior designer, Sarah Fager, stated in an IKEA newsroom press release, "BÄSINGEN should blend in regardless of your style and shouldn't be something you need to put away or hide."

BÄSINGEN pieces make it simple to increase the accessibility of your home. In considering every inch of these products, the visionaries at IKEA assembled pieces that will make users feel more secure. All of the items are made of powder-coated stainless steel that's durable in wet environments. Pieces that will come into contact with water are equipped with drainage holes, and IKEA designed all of the rails and shelves to not only hold their intended items but to double as support bars or handles.

It's not hard to imagine the step stools in space beyond the bathroom. The legs on the BÄSINGEN Shower chair and both stools are capped with non-slip feet, and the step stools' standing surfaces are enhanced with a non-slip texture. The handle that provides an additional towel rack can also help you with occasional balance control as you move around a room. Whether you need support for ongoing mobility issues, you're waiting for a bone to heal, or you have no difficulty at all, BÄSINGEN products are meant to fit with your space and changing needs.
