Changing Areas for Various Users
Changing areas should provide privacy and accessibility for individuals who need extra space or assistance while managing personal hygiene. Parents and caregivers should have secure surfaces for diapering and dressing children. Individuals with disabilities or mobility challenges should have access to ergonomic benches and grab bars for support. Private enclosed spaces should be available for those who require additional comfort while changing. A combination of soft lighting and well-placed mirrors further enhances user experience.

- Adequate space (minimum 1.5 m²) for caregivers and users with mobility challenges.
- Secure and comfortable surfaces for changing clothes or personal care.
- Soft lighting and privacy features such as partitions or enclosed cabins.
