Lowe's Article About Ideas to Organize Your Kitchen Cabinets

At Lowe’s website Livable Home you can see an informative article explaining Ideas to Organize Your Kitchen Cabinets. The goal of a more livable home is to design a home that focuses on accessibility and safety. Good home accessibility and safety are very helpful for all people but especially for individuals with disabilities. Accessible kitchen cabinets will help.

According to the author, Brian G., “Create a user-friendly space with kitchen cabinet storage and organization ideas. From family message centers to cabinet organizers, you can work more efficiently if your area is clean, easily accessible and organized.”

The author goes on to say, “If you’re redesigning a kitchen, think about any special storage or workspace requirements you might have. Many will need to be built into the original cabinet order, so it makes sense to review your needs with a kitchen design specialist.”

Lowe’s offers products for organizing your kitchen cabinets to include spice racks, drawer organizers, pull-out waste and recycle centers, cutting boards, lazy susan, wine racks, and pantry racks. Cabinet products directly related to accessibility include pull-down cabinet inserts, pull-out cabinet organizers, and D-shaped cabinet pulls.

Creating a more organized kitchen should involve Universal Design (UD). The principles of UD contribute to the safety, convenience, and function of products and home spaces by making products and spaces safer, easier to use and, more accessible. For additional information about UD please see Universal Design.

Careful planning is important to creating a more organized kitchen using UD. A more livable and accessible kitchen should include aging-in-place considerations.

Universal Design is a key part of aging-in-place home modifications. A Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) is trained in the application of UD for home modifications to help aging and disabled individuals remain in their homes longer. CAPS consultants and UD incorporate the principles of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Fair Housing Act (FHA) into residential home design and modifications.
