In our homes, we look for comfort, style, and most importantly, safety. With a growing awareness around creating spaces that cater to our well-being and prevent accidents, “Safety Through Design” has become a paramount principle in home remodeling. Let’s explore what “Safety Through Design” truly means for your living spaces.
Incorporating Performance and Safety in Kitchen Remodels
The heart of the home, the kitchen, is where functionality and safety must coexist harmoniously. By focusing on accessible remodeling, we ensure that kitchens are not only splendid but safe. This includes installing counters at accessible heights, ensuring appliances are within easy reach, and choosing non-slip flooring. Enhancing visibility with the right lighting and installing fixtures that are easy to operate can significantly minimize kitchen-related accidents.
Bathroom Safety Enhancements
Bathrooms can present numerous hazards, but with thoughtful design, these risks can be substantially reduced. Considerations such as slip-resistant flooring, adequately placed grab bars, walk-in showers without thresholds, and elevated toilet seats make bathrooms safer and more convenient, particularly for seniors or those with mobility issues.
General Living Space Optimizations
Living areas should be a haven of comfort and safety. This involves selecting furniture with rounded edges, ensuring ample space for mobility aids, and installing sufficient lighting to prevent accidents caused by poor visibility.
Eliminating Hazards Through Intelligent Design
A safe home is a clutter-free home. For a successful home remodel, aim to reduce common household hazards by promoting organized spaces, minimizing tripping risks with proper cord management, and ensuring that every element of your home caters to a safe living experience.
Bedroom and Closet Adjustments
Your bedroom should be the epitome of comfort and safety. Design choices like adjustable beds, accessible lighting controls, and organized closet systems can significantly increase the safety and usability of your private sanctuary.
