Adaptable living: the future of your bathroom begins today
Anyone looking to renovate their bathroom in Flanders today thinks of comfort, design, and luxury. But who is thinking about tomorrow? Adaptable living is becoming increasingly important. Not just for those getting older, but for everyone who wants to design their home with the future in mind. A bathroom should be beautiful today, but it must also remain safe, comfortable, and low-maintenance in 10, 15, or 20 years.
During my lecture at the Bouwbeurs Roeselare, one thing became clear: people want certainty. Not a standard clinical bathroom, but a stylish space that grows with their lives.

What is adaptable living?
Adaptable living means that your home, and especially your bathroom, is designed with changing needs in mind.
There are two main target groups:
- Forward-thinkers who want to renovate their bathroom to be future-proof now
- People with temporary or permanent care requirements
But essentially, it is about comfort, safety, and peace of mind. The bathroom is one of the most frequently used rooms in the house. Why not design it so that it always remains comfortable? Furthermore, a future-proof bathroom renovation increases the property value: a significant asset in Flanders.
Moving away from the classic clinical bathroom
An accessible bathroom does not have to look clinical or “hospital-like”.
You don’t recognise a well-designed accessible bathroom by visible aids, but by how logical and comfortable it feels. For us, every design starts with:
- Movement and circulation
- Logical pathways
- Sufficient turning space
- No thresholds or obstacles
And all of that without compromising on design. A Voegloze Badkamer offers enormous advantages here: tranquility, simplicity, and architectural freedom.
The level-access walk-in shower: safe & stylish
The shower is the most important element within adaptable living. We create:
- Completely threshold-free walk-in showers
- Certified anti-slip bathroom floors
- Preparation for grab rails or shower seats
- Sufficient space for assisted care if required
A good shower doesn’t give away that it is adaptable. It only proves it when necessary. Thanks to our jointless systems, the shower is:
- Inherently waterproof in construction
- Cement-free
- Resistant to intensive use
- Extremely low-maintenance
No joints, no mould growth, no complex cleaning.
Ergonomic customisation: furniture that thinks ahead
A future-proof bathroom requires thoughtful ergonomics:
- Correct working heights
- Clear space under furniture
- Everything within reach
- Invisible preparation for support
Good bathroom furniture doesn’t stand out because it is perfectly tailored to the user. We work entirely to measure. No standard modules, no compromises.
Toilet & brassware: comfort & hygiene at the heart
Independence starts with the right details:
- Correct seat height
- Sufficient surrounding space
- Preparation for grab handles or emergency buttons
- Intuitive brassware with safe temperature control
Hygiene and safety go hand in hand with design.
