As we age, maintaining our independence becomes more important than ever. However, living in a home that resembles a “nursing home” might not be what you had in mind for your golden years. Read on to learn how accessible remodeling can be tailored to your preferences, ensuring your home promotes independence without sacrificing the look and atmosphere you love.
Remodeling Your Home With Accessibility in Mind
Modifying your home to accommodate your lifestyle through all seasons of your life doesn’t have to mean a sterile, medical-looking home. Accessible remodeling focuses on adapting your living spaces to meet your unique needs while maintaining a beautiful and comfortable environment. By making a few strategic changes, you can create a home that allows you to age gracefully and independently. This is where DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Rhode Island comes in, with a team of experts dedicated to designing and remodeling homes with accessibility and style in mind.
Customizing Your Space
Your home should reflect your personality and taste. With accessible remodeling, you can choose color schemes, fixtures, finishes, and décor that suit your preferences while incorporating universal design principles. These principles ensure an accessible space for people of all ages and abilities. Collaborating with the best local contractor guarantees a tailored remodeling experience that brings your vision to life.
The Kitchen: A Hub for Independence
The kitchen is a central space in any home, and seniors need a functional and accessible cooking area. You can create a kitchen that promotes independence and safety with a few modifications.
Adjustable countertops with varying heights accommodate different tasks and mobility levels, while roll-under sinks make it easy to maintain cleanliness. Plus, easy-to-reach storage solutions ensure convenience without sacrificing aesthetics. To determine the best options for your needs, consider requesting a kitchen quote from an expert contractor.
The Bathroom: Safety and Style Combined
Meanwhile, several design options can help make any bathroom space functional and stylish while still promoting safety and independence:
- Walk-in tubs or showers with built-in seating provide a safe and comfortable bathing experience and can come in various configurations.
- Installing grab bars strategically can help prevent slips and falls.
- Non-slip flooring offers underfoot traction for ease of navigation, and are available in many different colors, textures and profiles to match the aesthetics of your bathroom.
Working closely with a design expert allows you to create a bathroom that balances accessibility with your style.
