Whether simply updating you or a loved one\u2019s space or planning your forever home, consider implementing these senior-friendly features to help you in maintaining independence and aging-in-place gracefully.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity border-light\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-bold h4\" id=\"h-floorplan-and-layout\">Floorplan and Layout\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For your senior-friendly kitchen, it is important to include accessible, wide pathways (at minimum 36 inches) to ensure ample space for walking and mobility aids. Consider the distance between appliances and the practicality of your workspace. Including seating at a built-in bar or island can offer a handy resting place between periods of standing or walking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-bold h4\" id=\"h-cabinetry\">Cabinetry\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-normal h5\" id=\"h-accessible-storage\">Accessible Storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pb-2\">When it comes to kitchen cabinets, we have all come across the awkward corner or \u201cjust out of reach\u201d shelves where holiday platters and small appliances go to never be seen again. Innovative pull-outs, drawers, and pull-down shelves are a clever solution to maximize your kitchen\u2019s storage potential while prioritizing accessibility. Consider implementing deep, pull-out drawers as opposed to upper cabinet shelves for storing dishes and cookware.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image pb-3\">\n<figure role=\"none\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Deep_Cabinet_Drawer.jpg\" alt=\"A drawer filled with neatly arranged plates and bowls of various sizes and colors.\" class=\"wp-image-690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Deep_Cabinet_Drawer.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Deep_Cabinet_Drawer-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Deep_Cabinet_Drawer-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-normal h5\" id=\"h-soft-close-doors\">Soft Close Doors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Protect fingers and minimize unwanted noise with soft close cabinet door hinges. These hinges are crafted to ensure that your cabinet doors close slowly and safely, preventing injury and damage to your cabinetry or personal belongings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-normal h5\" id=\"h-knobs-or-pulls\">Knobs or Pulls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pb-2\">In a contest of accessibility, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dkbshowroom.com\/Cabinet-hardware-Cabinet-Pulls-v034.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cabinet pulls<\/a> are generally considered more accessible than knobs. Their design allows for a more secure grip for those with limited strength and mobility, including arthritis. Cabinet pulls come in a variety of styles, shapes, and sizes, making them a better fit for a variety of hand and door sizes. Pulls with smooth, rounded edges and no protruding design features to snag cuffs, pockets, or belt loops are ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image pb-3\">\n<figure role=\"none\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Cabinet_Pull.jpg\" alt=\"A close-up view of a kitchen cabinet featuring sleek handles, showcasing its design and finish.\" class=\"wp-image-691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Cabinet_Pull.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Cabinet_Pull-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Cabinet_Pull-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-bold h4\" id=\"h-appliances\">Appliances\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-normal h5\" id=\"h-appliance-placement-0\">Appliance Placement\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pb-2\">Consider placing ovens, microwaves, dishwashers, and other appliances at counter or chest height to prevent stooping and squatting that may result in strain or injury. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dkbshowroom.com\/Appliances-Kitchen-appliances-Ovens-Built-in-wall-v0345.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wall ovens<\/a> are a great solution to optimize your kitchen\u2019s accessibility. Ensure that you have ample counterspace nearby for hot dishes to be quickly and safely set down on. Over-the-range microwaves can prove challenging for those with mobility issues. Place your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dkbshowroom.com\/Appliances-Microwave-ovens-v04.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">microwave<\/a> closer to counter-height for optimal accessibility.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image pb-3\">\n<figure role=\"none\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Wall_Oven.jpg\" alt=\"A modern kitchen featuring white cabinets and a sleek stainless steel oven.\" class=\"wp-image-692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Wall_Oven.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Wall_Oven-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Wall_Oven-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-bold h4\" id=\"h-countertops\">Countertops\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-normal h5\" id=\"h-countertop-height\">Countertop Height<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pb-2\">ADA compliant kitchen countertops cannot exceed 34 inches in height, making them on average 2 inches shorter than standard kitchen counters. Depending on your height, the national average of 36 inches may work fine for you. If you are shorter in stature or struggle with mobility issues, you may find that 34 inches may be a more comfortable fit for you and your home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-normal h5\" id=\"h-rounded-edges\">Rounded Edges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pb-2\">Rounded, bullnose, or waterfall-edge countertops are a subtle safety feature that can prevent injury in the event of bump, scrape, or fall. Rounded-edge countertops feature few to no hard edges that can prove a safety hazard when working in and around a kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-normal h5\" id=\"h-slip-resistance\">Slip Resistance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pb-2\">In addition to rounded edges, choosing a countertop with a slip-resistant finish can be an injury-preventing safety feature. Leathered granite, honed quartz, textured laminate, and matte solid surface countertops offer a textured surface that can help prevent pots, pans, appliances, and dishes from slipping across and off the counters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image pb-3\">\n<figure role=\"none\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Granite_Counter.jpg\" alt=\"A close-up view of a smooth white marble surface, showcasing its natural veining and texture.\" class=\"wp-image-693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Granite_Counter.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Granite_Counter-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cms.bravobusinessmedia.com\/plumbdes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2025\/09\/Granite_Counter-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-bold h4\" id=\"h-lighting\">Lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading border-0 text-primary font-weight-normal h5\" id=\"h-did-you-know-we-require-50-more-lighting-after-the-age-of-50\">Did you know: We require 50% more lighting after the age of 50?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pb-2\">As we age, our eyes begin to weaken, making kitchen tasks like chopping, cutting, cooking, and cleaning more difficult in inadequate lighting.

Shallow sinks take up less space, allowing for additional storage to be utilized beneath them. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dkbshowroom.com\/Sinks-Kitchen-sinks-v34.htm?&amp;feature=Ada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ADA compliant sink<\/a> is no more than 34 inches from the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pb-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dkbshowroom.com\/Kitchen-Sinks-Kitchen-sinks-Farmhouse-v2345.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Farmhouse or apron front sinks<\/a> feature a lower profile, as their exposed front does not require the countertop to run along the outer edge.
