Accessible Kitchens
The kitchen is often the heart of the home, a place where meals are prepared and memories are made. For individuals with mobility challenges or unique accessibility needs, a traditional kitchen layout may present obstacles that hinder comfort and functionality. Accessible kitchen remodels aim to eliminate these barriers, creating a space that is safe, efficient, and enjoyable for everyone.
Our approach focuses on designing kitchens that prioritize usability while maintaining a modern and stylish appearance. Whether you’re looking to age in place, accommodate a loved one, or simply enhance your kitchen’s adaptability, we provide solutions tailored to your needs.

Features of an Accessible Kitchen
An accessible kitchen is thoughtfully designed to promote independence and convenience without compromising on aesthetics. Here are some key features we can incorporate:
Lowered Countertops and Workspaces
Adjusting countertop heights ensures that tasks like chopping, mixing, and meal preparation are within easy reach for individuals in wheelchairs or with limited mobility.
Pull-Out Shelves and Drawers
Traditional cabinets can be difficult to navigate. Pull-out shelves and drawers make it easy to access items stored in deep spaces without strain or discomfort.
Accessible Sinks
We can install sinks with open space beneath to accommodate wheelchairs, along with lever or touchless faucets for ease of use. Side-mounted controls can also be included for added convenience.
Appliance Modifications
Modern appliances can be tailored to suit accessibility needs, such as:
- Wall ovens mounted at an appropriate height for seated users.
- Side-opening ovens for safer access.
- Induction cooktops that reduce the risk of burns and accidents.
- Refrigerators and dishwashers with pull-out trays and drawers.
Ample Clearance and Open Layouts
A well-planned kitchen layout ensures there’s plenty of space to navigate, especially for those using wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids.
Additional Features
An accessible kitchen doesn’t have to sacrifice style. We can include upgrades like:
- Smart lighting and appliances for enhanced convenience.
- Custom backsplashes and finishes that reflect your personal style.
- Adjustable shelving systems for maximum flexibility.
- Non-slip flooring options for improved safety.
