How can I make my kitchen lighting more accessible?

Here are some tips for making your kitchen lighting more accessible: Make sure you have enough light. Someone who is 80 years old needs at least three times the light to see than a 20-year-old. Use bright bulbs in overhead lights to avoid shadows that might cause tripping hazards.

If more light is needed, install additional task lighting or try a goose-necked fixture, perhaps with a magnifying mirror (like the ones architects use), over the main food preparation area. Install LED task lighting under all upper cabinets where it will light the work space without shinning in your eyes. Consider a row of tube or “chaser lights” around the edge of any peninsulas or islands so that they can be easily seen in low light.

Increase natural light. In addition to illuminating the space, natural light has profound psychological benefits for everyone. Enlarge windows or add French doors and skylights to bring sunlight into the room.

Also, sheer curtains will muffle sharp outdoor sounds without reducing the light too much.

Here are some things to keep in mind when making your faucets and sinks more accessible:Remove the cabinet under the sink to allow someone in a wheelchair to reach it easier. Locate the kitchen sink at a 45-degree angle in the corner of the kitchen counter, ideally with clear floor space below, low enough (30 to 32 inches from the floor) so that the sink and faucet are within easy reach of someone who is seated. Mount the kitchen faucet at the side to make it easier to reach for someone in a seated position, and for children.

Choose single-lever faucet handles that can be operated with one hand. Or, install no-touch motion sensor faucets that turn on and off automatically when you place your hands under the faucet. Install faucets with pull-out, hand-held spray nozzles that allow you to direct the water where you want it.

Add a pot-filler faucet near the stove that folds out of the way when not in use.

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.
