Multigenerational bathrooms: Why the industry needs to cater for all
With an ageing population and an increasing number of adult children returning to their parental homes after moving out, multigenerational living in the UK is on the rise. Research by insurance company Aviva* shows that multi-family households in the UK grew by 50% between 2005 and 2015. Assuming the same rate of growth in the next 10 years, there will be almost half a million multi-family households by 2025.
Having two - or even three - generations living under one roof means families are required to adapt their home to meet everyone’s needs and one room where this can prove difficult, is the bathroom.
