How can I make my kitchen counters and cabinets more accessible?

Here are some things to keep in mind when making your kitchen counters and cabinets more accessible: If you are building or remodeling, create a tight work triangle: Place the stove, sink, and refrigerator within close proximity but with counter space in between for placing things to be transferred from one area to another. Install cabinets at various heights for different tasks. If you cannot physically change the counter height, consider getting a stool (on wheels) that allows someone to sit while working.

Widen aisles by replacing some of the lower cabinets with bathroom cabinets, which are only 18 inches deep instead of the usual 24 inches. Install full-extension drawers and shelves in base cabinets. Bring some cabinets down to the countertop height.

Consider adding motorized cabinets. Weighted shelving inserts fit inside your cabinets. These are counterbalanced so that they pull down or lift up with very little effort and provide easy access to cabinet contents.

Add a roll-out/pull-out cabinet if you have a narrow empty space next to the refrigerator. Replace any round pull knobs with ā€œCā€ or ā€œDā€ shaped handles (shaped like the letter suggests) -- available at your local hardware or home improvement store -- that can be opened with little effort for people with weak or painful hands. Install easy-glide and self-closing hardware on all cabinet drawers and doors.

Install slide-away cabinet doors. Use contrasting color cabinet doors and countertops.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
