Welcome back to Home Design chat with Nancy.
Every week we explore the latest trends, timeless styles, and practical solutions for creating a home you’ll love.
We share expert tips, inspiring ideas, and real conversations with industry pros to help you make smart, stylish choices for your space.
Whether you’re planning a full remodel, a quick refresh, or just curious about what’s hot (and what’s not) in design, you’ll find it all right here. Let’s get started!
My guest today is Connie Bunyard, owner of Valley Remodeling, a family owned remodeling business in Arizona.
Our subject today is Aging in Place which is something that Connie's company focus' on.
Our talking points in this podcast are as follows:
Common Challenges in Homes as We Age
- Bathrooms: slippery floors, tubs that are difficult to get in/out of, lack of grab bars.
- Kitchens: cabinets too high, lack of good lighting, unsafe flooring.
- Entryways: steps at front doors, narrow doorways not accommodating walkers/wheelchairs
Remodeling Solutions that Make a Difference
- Bathrooms: walk-in showers, zero-threshold entries, handheld shower heads, slip-resistant flooring, strategically placed grab bars (that can be stylish).
- Kitchens: pull-down shelving, drawers instead of cabinets, lever handles instead of knobs, task lighting under cabinets.
- Entrances & Exits: ramps, wider doorways, lever door handles, smart locks.
Design with Dignity in Mind
- Talk about avoiding the “hospital look” – aging-in-place features can be beautiful and stylish (e.g., decorative grab bars, modern walk-in showers, seamless design).
- How Universal Design benefits everyone — from kids to seniors — not just those with mobility issues.
