DROP - DOWN SHELF DESIGNS
Hard-to-reach, high-up shelving is a common issue
faced by many homeowners including those living in
multigenerational homes with children, those with specific
height requirements and those with limited mobility
including wheelchair users. However, kitchen manufacturers
now offer drop-down shelf designs as a solution. Fitted
internally, they allow access to hard-to-reach, high-up
shelving without requiring an obvious and unattractive
fixture that detracts from the homeowner’s design aesthetic.

MANOEUVRABLE FLOORSPACE
It is important to consider small but important features
that may often be an afterthought in kitchen design such as
providing the option of wall hung furniture, making it much
easier for those in wheelchairs to navigate the space and
have closer access to worktops. The cabinets being wall-
hung offers a sleek and contemporary statement feature in
the home rather than detracting from the space.
Kitchen design is moving more towards accessibility
becoming the norm in new homes, not least because these

for all profiles of prospective buyers. By implementing
