Whether you want to begin with a few universal design elements or a complete overhaul to further enhance your home or workplace, Universal Concepts & Design will work at the level and the pace you desire. Below are some helpful solutions for improving your living area in various rooms.

Kitchen
Before:
Space under counters and sink is limiting and restrictive. Cabinets and oven controls are harder to reach. Counter space and appliances are higher and less convenient. Drawers knobs cause cabinets to open with less ease.
After:
Easier access to storage and counter space. No more reaching over hot surfaces for oven controls, since they’re easy to grip in front. Dishwasher is raised for less bending. Spacious under-sink area is unencumbered by plumbing or cabinet floor. A kitchen that works with you, instead of against.

Bathroom
Before:
Vanity and tub faucets are less convenient. Vanity height is lower which causes more bending. Step-in shower entry is narrower and less convenient to access. Faucets mounts are harder to reach.
After:
The extra-wide shower entry has no step and a recessed drain to keep water safely inside. The adjustable-height showerhead and separate hand-held unit simplifies washing. Front-mounted faucets save you from stretching to check water temperature. The higher vanity height is easier to access. A bathroom that is as comfortable as it is safe.

Exterior
Before:
Steps at entryway and from garage to inside of house are awkward to use. Doorknobs are harder to open and grip. Windows are harder to open and shut. Circuit-breaker box is less convenient to access.
After:
Instead of conventional steps, garage and entryway are level making carrying groceries a breeze. Easy-to-use, door levers are available in a wide range of styles and finishes. Low-mounted, crank openers make windows easier to operate. Circuit-breaker box is more convenient. An exterior that eliminates unnecessary legwork and wear and tear on your joints.
