When you are designing a home you need to think about all the members of
your family too. When you are putting all your thoughts in designing
the master bedrooms of yours or the kid’s bedroom, why would you ignore
the room for the elderly members of your family too?
If you are
thinking that there is no need to putting extra thought to the design of
the interior for the elderly members you are utterly wrong.The need of
some unique ideas is more when you need to think about the elderly
members.
Their movements are often restricted.That is why when you are hiring an interior design company for your home you also need to discuss a few ideas with them to make the design and decoration convenient for them.
Take a look of the ideas that you can follow.
Easy on Hands
Turning a door knob can be a quite easy task for you. However, it can be quite difficult for your elder beloveds not.When they are suffering from arthritis or gout it becomes for them to handle the tight door knob.
Replace the door knobs with the liver styled handles.In fact you also can replace the shower knob and faucets too with these simple handles.They are easy and convenient for them.
Friendly Floors
The most important thing that you will need to take care of is the floor.Most of the accidents happen in this age for slippery floor.Reduce this factor by adding nonskid mat under area rug.Reduce the heights of thresholds that will also decrease the chances of tripping.
Well Lighted Place
A dark room is always an open invitation to fall and bump.The more well-lighted places are there in your home the lesser will be the chances of falling down.
Use these ideas in the designing of your home and make your elderly family members feel that you care for them.
