Creating an accessible home that seamlessly marries functionality with aesthetics is a science and an art. No longer are accessibility features confined to clinical or stark spaces; today, they can be integral to stylish, vibrant homes. At DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of St. Louis Park, we transform homes into accessible and beautiful spaces through Independence by Design™, our signature approach to accessible remodeling that caters to the practical needs and aesthetic preferences of every individual.
In this post, we share some of the strategies we use to design stylish spaces that accommodate people of all abilities.
Balancing Function and Form
The evolution of accessible design has shown us that practicality and style are not mutually exclusive. Interior elements, once deemed purely functional and sterile, have been reimagined into stylish features that enhance a home’s aesthetic appeal. From spacious, curbless walk-in showers boasting glamorous tile work to elegant, strategically placed grab bars that double as chic accessories, these accessible features now contribute to the overall beauty of a space.
Enhancing Kitchens and Bathrooms
Kitchens and bathrooms are often the spaces prioritized during an accessible remodeling project. In the kitchen, modifications such as variable-height countertops and touch-control appliances are integrated seamlessly into custom cabinetry. In the bathroom, walk-in showers are equipped with low-thresholds, non-slip tiles, and stylish and functional grab bars. Carefully discuss the features you need with a kitchen and bathroom remodeler near me so they can include these in their quote.
Enhancing Exterior Accessibility
When remodeling your home, pay attention to your outdoor areas too. Accessibility enhancements like ramps and no-step entries will make your home more accessible. These can also be designed to complement your home’s architectural style or overall design. Moreover, your landscaping, doorways, and outdoor living spaces should promote a seamless transition from outdoors to indoors.
