Future-proof and stylish too!
OUR HOME is our sanctuary. It’s worth making this special space futureproof to ensure you can live there, and navigate safely around it, for as long as possible.
And the good news is that an accessible, functional home can still be fashionable.
Vaila Morrison RIBA, Stannah’s inclusive design expert, says: ‘Inclusivity makes the basis for great design and should be celebrated and valued by all of us, not just those who need it in their homes at the present time.’
She adds: ‘There are lots of clever ways that accessibility can be designed in the home so that there’s no (metaphorical) neon flashing wheelchair logo hovering over your door.’
For example, a grab rail could double as a towel rail in the bathroom.
And even mainstream products such as a coffee maker can be much safer to handle than a kettle full of boiling water for a n yo n e with mobility impairments.
When people are looking for a more accessible home, bungalows are often top of the list, yet many of them are not terribly accessible.
Steps at the front door and narrow corridors are just some of the challenges. An alternative to moving is to fit a bespoke stairlift, which can be tailored to represent your unique style and preferences — and made to fit into virtually any home.
Select from a huge choice of vinyl and fabric upholsteries.
And optional features can include swivel seats, a range of seatbelts, and differing folding options allowing the footrest, arms and seat to be tucked away tidily, all meeting the highest standards of quality, comfort and safety.
With more options available than ever before, you can choose a comfortable stairlift that compliments your home interior and best reflects your unique style.
