Home Renovating For Accessible Living

Making homes accessible means making homes easier to live in when there are mobility issues to consider, through architectural design, but also by integrating accessibility features such as modified furniture, shelves and cupboards and layout in the home.

While we tend to think about modifying homes to accommodate someone with a disability or as part of aged care needs, the truth is that many home modifications can be carried out just to make life easier for the owner and visitors. 

Here are some ideas we liked!
