Ways to Make Your Home Stylish and Accessible

Blend Functionality With Elegance in Your Kitchen

Consider the integration of multi-level countertops. These will not only make the space functional for wheelchair users but also add an element of visual interest and versatility for culinary tasks. Integrating accessible design features like touch-control microwaves at reachable heights and islands with overhangs for seating shows how accessibility can blend with modern kitchen design trends.

Innovate Your Bathroom Design

Features such as walk-in showers with low or no thresholds are practical and can be designed as luxurious, spa-like spaces. Slip-resistant flooring and stylish grab bars doubling as towel racks and wall-mounted sinks contribute to a bathroom’s overall aesthetic while ensuring it remains accessible and safe for all users. Consult a bathroom remodeler near me to determine the best ways to incorporate accessibility features.

Enhance Overall Home Accessibility

Design strategies, like zero-threshold entries and wide doorways, can help you easily meet your accessibility needs while complementing your home’s design. Handrails that blend seamlessly with the overall aesthetic can also enhance the accessibility of your space without sacrificing style.
