In the continuing effort to make the world more accessible for everyone, interior design has become a focus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dysfunctional business practices and outdated design techniques mean that many disabled people are unable to access items in public buildings, and domestic spaces are often littered with unattractive features to make them accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, this is changing with an emphasis on making public spaces easier for elderly and disabled individuals to reach, understand, and enjoy. These tips will help make your home more accessible as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Improve Your Design’s Impact on the Disabled Community<\/b><\/h2>\n

Design shouldn’t just be limited to able-bodied communities, and disabled communities should be able to have a place to live that makes them feel good, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few ways to improve disabled access.<\/span><\/p>\n

Decide on Your Design Style<\/b><\/h3>\n

You may want to think about the overall look of your house, but if you’re planning on making your home more accessible, you will have to consider how many different settings and spaces you have to work with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Designing an area that has adequate disabled access in the home that looks good as well as being functional is a great place to start.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using The Right Furniture<\/b><\/h3>\n

Using furniture that is at a set height for easy wheelchair access and incorporating features on bathroom vanities to make them work for people in wheelchairs are two ways to ensure that the disabled community can use your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, using <\/span>disabled bathroom equipment<\/span><\/a> like raised sinks with lower countertops and putting in a roll-under sink makes it easier for individuals in wheelchairs to bathe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think About The Flow Of The House<\/b><\/h3>\n

Doorways should be wide enough so that a wheelchair or walker can pass through. When designing bath spaces, be sure you give thought to the toilet location, shower fixtures, and grab bars.<\/span><\/p>
