How Can You Prevent Falls at Home?

Falls are a leading cause of injury, especially among older adults, but fall prevention doesn’t have to compromise your home’s style. If you’re looking for ways to keep your home safe while maintaining a beautiful and functional space, here are some tips to prevent falls and how Michael Graves Design can help you achieve both safety and style.

Remove Tripping Hazards

Clutter on the floor, loose rugs, and cords can be major fall risks. Consider furniture that maximizes storage to keep pathways clear. The Michael Graves Design x Pottery Barn collaboration offers storage-friendly furniture solutions that are both modern and accessible, allowing you to maintain an organized, safe home.

Use Mobility Aids That Support Stability

Using a cane can greatly reduce the risk of falls for those with mobility concerns. However, many people hesitate to use them because they can feel clunky or unattractive. The Michael Graves Design C-Grip and Quick Fold Walking Canes, are designed with both ergonomics and aesthetics in mind, offering a stable and stylish solution.  Lightweight design and comfortable grip make them ideal for daily use, while the sleek look ensures they blend seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Add Grab Bars and Other Support Features

Installing grab bars in bathrooms and along stairways can provide extra support. For those seeking mobility-friendly furniture, the Michael Graves Design x Pottery Barn collection features furniture that offers added stability, whether it’s a front grab rail dresser or a seated bench with built-in support.

Create a Safer Home Environment

Creating a safer home environment is key to preventing falls, and the CVS Health x Michael Graves Design collection offers thoughtfully designed mobility and bath safety products to support stability and comfort. The bath safety rails and shower chairs provide extra support in slippery spaces like the bathroom, ensuring safe transfers in and out of the tub or shower. For mobility around the home, adjustable walking canes offer a sturdy grip with ergonomic design, making movement easier and more secure. These products blend accessibility with the signature style of Michael Graves, offering practical solutions without sacrificing design. 

Preventing falls at home doesn’t mean sacrificing style. By incorporating thoughtful design into safety, Michael Graves Design continues to innovate with its accessible products. Whether you’re looking for a functional cane or furniture that enhances your home, these solutions are crafted to promote safety, comfort, and elegance.
