Universal Kitchen Design Ideas - Part 5

Access Your Microwave

Carve out space in your island for the microwave to ensure people of all ages and abilities have easy access. Placing the microwave in the island also frees up counter spaces that's often taken up by the appliance.

Vary Counter Heights
Vary the height of the countertops throughout your kitchen to ensure people of all ages, sizes, and abilities have a place to work. Elevate one side of your island countertop to create a slight barrier between the work zone and the breakfast bar.

Remember the Hardware

The larger the handle, the easier it is for people with arthritis or other mobility issues to grab it. D-shape door and drawer pulls are the most convenient for a wide range of people. If you have small children, outfit the handles on your lower cabinets with safety locks.
