Kitchen Designs For All Ages

While many news sources are centered on design trends, it is equally important to make sure your choices will stand the test of time—especially if you plan to age in place. Before considering a remodel for the home you intend on spending the rest of your life in, we encourage you to consider these tips.

1. Install pull-out drawers for storage.

2. Keep the sink and stove near each other.

3. Don’t splurge with an extra deep sink.

4. Put the microwave at or below the counter height (not above!).

5. Choose a standard counter depth.

6. Opt for accessible corner storage.

7. Choose drawers over doors.

8. Consider rounding edges (bonus: this one is great for grandchildren, too!).

9. Maintain good clearance space.

10. Install slip-resistant flooring.
