Wheelchair friendly room |
|
|
|
Create a minimalist living room with smooth clean lines and practical style. The interior combines cool whites with bright reds and has stunning visual appeal.
The aluminium kitchen is designed specifically for wheelchair height and has all the latest technology. As a final touch the cupboard doors conceal a scarlet interior.

|
Stylise the kitchen
Make sure the edge of the work surface has a lip to help prevent spillages. Some work surfaces can be moved up and down to the required height, thereby serving both those standing and those in a wheelchair. |
|
|
|
Kitchen doors
Use aluminium pull down shutter-like fronts for the cupboards to enhance the modern style. For a great design finish to the design, use splashes of red inside the cupboards. |
|
|
|
Mixing and matching
Continue the modernist theme in the living area. However, introduce a hint of tradition with antique chairs and books. |
|
|
|
Living room
Add warmth to the minimalism of the living area with dashes of the red. The sofa can be picked out in this colour as well as simple panelling on the walls |
|
|
|
Lighting
Use distinctive lighting in both the kitchen and living area. In the kitchen, invest in a hanging island of halogen lights. This will provide bright light to the key work areas. |
|
|
|
Finish the look
Finish off the look in both rooms with simple vases, which complete this stylish minimalist look. |
|
|
|
Interesting design features
Bring a touch of greenery inside with plants in large pots. This will soften the look of the room. A wood-burning stove will also add warmth to a look. |
