Design apt. for granny !

10 years ago
Design space for 83 year old mom!
She loves blues and Aqua ! We cannot paint the walls so the stay cream! Here is the space and the furniture we have bought so far . Cannot have rugs because she wants it to be wheel chair friendly .

    Try to bring in her favourite colors with accessories, throw cushions and artwork.

    These photo are not that great from me ! The chair we bought is sturdy enough to support her getting up and down .
    I like the art work you all posted and accent pillows .
    We need a simple piece to put a tv on . Any ideas ? And maybe a floor lamp , and a small table . Square or round ?

    It's hard to beat IKEA when it comes to TV storage. This comes in turquoise and dark grey for $59.99!

    Perhaps something like this for dining? The chairs are microfiber so they're easy to keep clean.

    Good luck with your project!

    You're welcome! I found the dining set on Amazon by searching 3 piece dining sets.

    Is that a kitchen/living with the bedroom open to that?

    It's going to be lovely. You've made really good selections.

    Yes ; she is not excited about this move at all so we are going all out to make it "feel" good!
    Going to go and paint the 3 abstracts for her living space today !

    Will everything be new for her? For instance, my mom has some favorite pieces and would want them (sculptures, figurines, her own art pieces, a favorite throw, etc). and it may make the transition easier for your mother if she has many familiar things. A photo gallery of family, vacations and special occasions on a prominent wall will make her happy I'm sure. It's not an easy transition. All the best.

    I think all of your choices are wonderful and hopefully she will find it easier to make the transition with some of her favorite objects.

    I lOVE that chair.....

    I think she's making some lovely choices for her new place...

    I learned a lot taking care of my own 84 year old mom, living in a very similar apt. keep the furniture and clutter to a minimum to facilitate safer movement in the apartment. Buy only lamps with pullchains, or have existing lamps modified. It is much easier for someone who is likely losing some fine motor skills. Give your grandma a large, easily reached bedside table with room for a phone, lamp, some reading material and all her meds. Allow room for a bedside commode to be moved into place each night to minimize risk of nightime falls. Good luck to you and your grandma!

    Bless your heart for caring so much. I think one thing she might need is a small console for a microwave and a tea kettle. I hope my family takes such good of me when the time comes.

    You all have great suggestions ! Thank you ! I will post pictures when we finish next week !

    If there is any way to do it, I would involve your mom in the choices. You also might want to talk to someone who is in a similar situation for some tips, like a dining table needs to be this high and have that much distance from leg to leg so a wheelchair will fit under it, etc. Lamps/curtains that have remote controls are good, for example.
