When remodeling a space in your home, we keep in mind these seven principles of Universal Design:
• Flexible use – Design should allow for individual preference and ability such as right- or left-handed access.
• Equitable use – Design should be useful by people with diverse abilities and not segregate its users from others with different abilities.
• Simple, intuitive to use – Design should be consistent and easy for anyone to understand.
Perceptible information – Design should communicate necessary information using a combination of pictorial, verbal and tactical clues.

• Tolerance for error
Design should minimize adverse consequences as a result of unintended actions.

• Low physical effort
Design should be efficient and comfortable to use without causing fatigue.

• Size and space for approach and use
Design should provide easy reach and manipulation regardless of user’s mobility, size or posture.
