Furniture and Space

Chairs and Desks

  • Can the furniture be easily adjusted for different body sizes and comfort needs?
  • Example: Mobility Impairment. Considerations for adjustable desks and chairs to accommodate wheelchairs or mobility aids.
  • Is the design ergonomic to support various physical conditions, such as back pain or repetitive strain injuries?
  • Example: Chronic pain. Choose chairs with lumbar support and ergonomic design to alleviate discomfort associated with conditions like chronic pain.

Space Accessibility

  • Is there enough space around the furniture for individuals using mobility aids or guide animals?
  • Example: Visual Impairment. Ensure clear pathways and consider tactile indicators for those with visual impairments who rely on guide dogs or canes.
  • Are the colours and contrasts of the furnishings suitable for individuals with visual impairments?
  • Example: Visual Impairment. Opt for high-contrast and tactile markers on furniture edges for individuals with low vision or colour blindess.
