Kitchen designs do not have to sacrifice aesthetics and style when accessibility is the primary concern, it has been argued.Wallner Builders, a renovation firm in the US, was hired to remodel the kitchen of a partially-sighted woman, House and Home reported.To make the room more functional for Diane Mancini, who can only see dark shadows in environments with poor lighting, the company reconfigured cabinetry and built drawers under seating benches.In addition, Wallner installed five different types of lighting, which included recessed cans and over-cabinet lighting, to give Ms Mancini multiple options for improving visibility in the room.Meanwhile, the firm claimed that accessibility-oriented designs can still be attractive, noting that additions like wall handle bars for disabled people can resemble decorative towel bars.People want accessible living spaces that dont look like theyre living in a hospital, renovator David Pekel told the news provider.A recent report by the Design Blog noted that a range of futuristic kitchen taps have been developed to combine stylish looks with high-end technology.
