The Biggest Mistake I Made In The Accessible Kitchen
After suffering my spinal cord injury i have really had to adapt in life. So Im showing you my disability lifestyle to raise disability awareness. As a disabled woman and a woman in a wheelchair who is paralysed, I thought it would be interesting for you to see, and hopefully give you some inspiration and motivation so that you can live more independently. wether you are paraplegic or quadriplegic I hope that I can help you. The wheelsnoheels message is “so no one has to feel alone.”
I have lots of interesting disability videos, a lot of videos on how to cope with a disability and living life in a wheelchair, wether you are a girl boy woman or man. i have some paraplegic exercise videos, and advice. its important to keep your fitness levels up as much as possible as this can when physically and mentally with depression.
If you feel I have given you value today consider buying me a ko-fi, just think of it as a tip.

Another really handy thing to consider, is draws, rather than big cupboards. As pulling out draws is a lot easier than having to reach into cupboards. If you check out the full before and after tour. You will notice all the cupboards on the bottom level are draws. Watch the Before & After here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ep-GlrV4p8fJdZc.html

I'm having mine done by my local council on a grant and its really exciting! I'm having my downstairs bathroom refitted, my kitchen made accessible, a new doorway added to make getting in and out of the kitchen easier and a steplift at the front of the house. I have MS so they're also kitting me out with an electric wheelchair. My biggest issue is trying to figure out a colour scheme for the kitchen as I've never decorated a place before and I'm both nervous and excited to do that haha. I'm so looking forward to having it all done, I miss cooking and having more independence in my house, and not feeling so stuck here as the front of my house is totally inaccessible, I can't go in and out by myself at all as there are several steps! Its been lovely to see yours getting done, giving me inspiration for mine! I love your wood worktops, they're so beautiful :)

I’m not in a wheelchair yet. But we had to build a house to accommodate my progressively disabling disease (thank god for ssdi). Our last home was a tri-level with 4 sets of stairs and 3 elevation changes, with no way to modify. With the build we had to make choices against the standard to make things work for me. Like the microwave had to be on the counter. I also had to have a counter to slide a pot of water to or from the stove, our counter material needed to be laminate, our floors have to have texture, no elevation changes within the home or at entry doors, deck has a 3” step that I can manage and modified stairs to the yard (shorter and longer), we completely redesigned the bathroom from builder plan to have a 3x bigger shower with a 1.5” threshold., controls on right and spray on left- so it could be door free if need be. Widened doorways to accommodate a walker or wheelchair. Biggest thing is to know the level of accessibility. They wanted to lower all my switches, but building for my disability I didn’t want to jump the gun 10-15 years. So we didn’t do wheelchair height stuff yet. And let’s be real…I barely cooked before my disease 😂

Our biggest kitchen mistake was cheap lower cabinets. Laminated particle board just hasn’t stood up well to 25 years of power wheelchair strikes; scrapes can’t be repaired, and once the particle board is compromised, it’s hard to do things like screw the doors back on. Wood would have been better. I sure wish your wall oven supplier did business in the US!

I like how the Oven Door pulls down then gets slid under the Oven. However, you'd Lose a lot of Heat that way, like if you're pulling out a tray of cookies, and putting another tray back in. Here is Canada, we have Ovens where the door opens Sideways (much like a microwave oven). You can also get them spring loaded with a timer, so you can open it and it stays open for 5 to 10 seconds, then closes itself. Much like electric doors to a store that open to let you through, then close a few seconds later.

Not sure I agree with this- no matter how the door swings, heat will escape anyway. Also not sure about the timed doors- again, different disabilities function differently. A person with Motor control issues, might not be able to function with this feature. Some of us have to move slowly in order to make sure that whatever we’re handling stay in the pan/pot/… So we can safely remove it and set it on the counter or whatever.

I can certainly relate to the tap situation (twice!) At my parents house, where the left handed plumber fitted a tap with a single lever on the right hand side. Apart from my brother, we're all right handed and I have to use my weaker left hand to hold the kettle due to the tap being to the right. In my flat, I supplied a much taller tower tap to replace the two short single taps. Their plumber refused to fit it because he "Hadn't got the right pipework or authorisation!" Like at my parents house, I still struggle to fill the kettle. I'm sure your issue with the bin drawers situation can be surmounted eventually, if not already done. The only suggestion I can make is for some sort of curved, floor standing cover (floor standing for maintenance reasons) to conceal the plumbing under the sink. It could also stop the pipework from being accidentally knocked. Nice meeting you at Naidex, by the way. Sending Spoonie Hugs and Love ( ( ( x 😊 x ) ) ) 💜

Plenty of good ideas, thank you. A big MUST, I think is a pull out Safe Shelf under your oven, heatproof, for basting & transitioning to kitchen. Drawers tend to be much more useable than cupboards - the doors do get in the way. pull-out pantry can be very handy - perhaps the work bench won't be as deep so you can reach storage above. Having the taps to the side, rather than back can be very helpful, as I can't always reach - also watch you don't have to reach through water stream to turn off! Hope you are still loving your kitchen! Just getting ready to remake my side to be accessible for my needs. Cheers!

But I've seen other tall people have to do the leg split to reach average countertops and tables, making me rarely feel pretty good about being short thinking this world really is built for me afterall.

Well, you could always have a saddle stool or something like that available for your walking family members if they feel the lower work heights is too low if working in the kitchen for a longer time, so such things can easily be worked around, especially since the areas are open so you can roll under properly. I’m ambulatory and have no adaptions at home but do have a saddle stool at home in case I need to sit down in the kitchen, it doesn’t work too well though because I can’t roll under at all so I have to sit alongside the stove area

I'm literally watching this whilst prepping breakfast in a non adapted kitchen. Weirdly a lowered work surface isn't something I crave and I'd really miss all the low down cupboards. I think I have long arms or something! A sink I could roll underneath is the only bit of that I want currently. My biggest issue is the dishwasher, I have a regular size one and watching the video I can see that a smaller one might help. Basically I can't reach all the way across to load it. Like yours it's in a corner, but with the arrangement of everything else, I stash my dirty dishes on the left side when I can only roll beside it from the right side! My biggest problem is taking the plunge on an accessible kitchen is deciding the overall look, I'm in an open plan flat, so the kitchen is on display to all and currently has a breakfast bar, which is quite a popular feature. Also, I have this weird situation of having a flat that is unique and a mirror image to my parents' flat, we're both on the original kitchens, so it's going to be super weird whichever of us goes first on a kitchen replacement! They did their bathroom before I even bought my flat, but I think I might be the one who gets in first with the en suite - currently I literally only use it for going to the toilet in the night. I don't even know if it's possible to make it accessible.

Gem, what make and model of wall mounted oven do you have? I've never heard of or seen an oven where the oven door folds down, and slides back into the oven. That oven is simple accessability genius. While the particular kithen renovation from 2007 I'll describe, was not designed or planned as being an accessible kitchen, a miscommunication in its planning caused a mistake, which turned out to be something totally serendipitous. In my intended design, I'd wanted to have a meals nook built into the front most part of the kitchen. The nook table space would have extended forward past the existing front edge of the kitchen area by 2 benchtop depths. I'd wanted to have under and over bench cupboards only as far as the start of the nook table. That was the plan. What happened, was that the kitchen company thought I wanted an L shaped bench, with under bench cupboards on the kitchen side, and a small under bench cupboard on the lounge room side in the corner of the L. The over bench cupboards ran to the corner of the L and finished there. When I saw the finished kitchen, I was aghast. I was shocked at how much of a foul up that area was, in comparison to what I'd described that I'd wanted. I was trying to think of how the heck can I make use of this fouled up design. At that point of time, I did not have a microwave oven. In the pre-Christmas sales for 2009, I would get a microwave oven, and I put it in the corner of the L, to use the benchtop space in front of the microwave, for managing cooked foods. This was the moment of serendipity. That previously annoying and useless benchtop space, became an essential. I could microwave anything, slide it straight out of the microwave and onto the benchtop to cool to safe handling and esting tenperature without worry.

But she's only 160 cm and I was 176 cm before I had to choose the wheelz. Her kitchen is nearly fine to me, she has got a full line where I can role under . Wonderful! I'd think on the cupboard that goes down. I loved it from first side and looked this part immediatly four times till I got further.

I don't see a point in an accessible kitchen for me because I can't cook. But at the same time I find things are just that little bit of an issue at normal height. Aka the sink. I can hardly turn on the tap. We've set up the kitchen to work for me best we can. Aka everything I need is in the bottom cupboards. But the cooking stuff is up high as hubby makes dinners. If I wanted to cook I'd have to take the hob over to the dining table. Which is an issue. We have an air frier instead of an oven. I can reach it but often burn myself on the metal racks because of its placement. So I avoid it as much as possible. Can use the microwave easy and have a hot cup instead of a kettle so I can make myself s coffee or tea at any time. Just means hubby has to fill it a few times a week.

Before you had it done didn't it seem like the perfect kitchen, then when it's all finnish and gets used you realise it is not as perfect as you thought it would be. The same thing happened to me lol I even got a quote from a joiner to correct the problem they wanted 800 quid for it so I live with how it is now.

Is the height of the countertop the same as the height of the oven when the oven door is open? And if not do you find the difference in height to be hard for you at all?
