Your environment will affect how you feel. It can also affect howsafe you are. It is not just about making your home beautiful. Itis also about safety. A professional designer is trained to help

you with the safety of your home.

FLOORSAFETY

In the bathroom there are many

safety decisions to consider. For

example, did you know that smaller

floor tiles give you better traction on

slippery floors? If you use better

sealers as a coating on your natural

stone tiles, it will help with future

cleaning.

Air quality is very important and

everything you put in your home can

affect the air that you breathe. A

designer can steer you towards

better manufactures who care about

your environment. This will help you

have healthy finishes and materials

in your home.

AIR QUALITYArrangement of furniture is also

important.

1. Do not put furniture in upper

hallways

2. Do not use sharp corners at a

height

3. Do not choose ergonomically

incorrect selections

SPACEPLANNING

There are certain selections that you

will make in furniture and in

hardware that will help support the

natural alignment of your joints and

posture. When you sit at your desk

it is especially important to sit in a

way that is most efficient and

comfortable.

ERGONOMICALLY CORRECT

SELECTIONS

Make sure all hallways and doors

are wide enough for a wheel chair.

Think about access to the house and

what changes could be made in the

future.

Install grab bars in the shower or at

least install blocking behind the

drywall and tile so you can install

them at a later date.

ELDERLY /DISABLED

LIGHTINGYour designer can also help you with

a good lighting plan with well

balanced light throughout the home.

It is especially important to use path

lighting in dark hallways that lead to

bathrooms.
