All interior doors should have a free space of 30 inches. Hallways should be short, free of turns or furniture and at least 3 feet to 4 feet wide. These should be mounted on walls around the bathtub or in the shower. They should be nonbreakable and withstand a pull of 220 pounds. These are more visible if they contrast in color with the walls.
Items stored between knee and eye level are easy to see and reach.
Avoid tugging on large articles or climbing for things stored high up. Older people need more light than the young. Reading or high intensity lights may be necessary for reading, sewing and hobby work. Good lighting decreases the chance of falls. Living and bedroom windows that face south provide maximum winter sunshine.
