AIP Resolution No. 7: I will add accessible seating to my kitchen.Hopping up on a barstool is easy when you're an athletic 20-something. It's not so easy for many seniors. Having counter height (better) or table height (best) seating makes older users more comfortable and safer. It's also a boon for anyone visiting or moving into your home in a wheelchair. If you're planning to add an island or remodel your kitchen for long-term living, consider accessible seating as part of your plan.

CountersIf you have room for an island or a peninsula that accommodates seating, make the counter 30 inches high — the same as table height. This offers optimal seating for everyone, regardless of age or mobility. Little ones can shimmy up onto a regular chair, and older folk don't have to hoist themselves up onto a bar stool. A wheelchair can just glide on in too.

If you have room for an island or a peninsula that accommodates seating, make the counter 30 inches high — the same as table height. This offers optimal seating for everyone, regardless of age or mobility. Little ones can shimmy up onto a regular chair, and older folk don't have to hoist themselves up onto a bar stool. A wheelchair can just glide on in too.

Accessible kitchen island has two counter top heights.

Island. Dual counter heights

i like the idea of just turning the dining chairs around to be able to sit at the counter so there isn't a row of chairs in front of a row of stools - this is more attractive and less cramped

Can use regular height chairs

ability to sit at counter wheel chair friendly

Here the idea is to have space to sit while doing some tasks, as well as stand for others. 30" ht is for a chair & the other ht is custom for your needs.

AIP Resolution No. 7: I will add accessible seating to my kitchen. Hopping up on a barstool is easy when you're an athletic 20-something. It's not so easy for many seniors. Having counter height (better) or table height (best) seating makes older users more comfortable and safer. It's also a boon for anyone visiting or moving into your home in a wheelchair. If you're planning to add an island or remodel your kitchen for long-term living, consider accessible seating as part of your plan.
