Top 5 Fall Prevention Tips for Every Room in Your Home

September is Fall Prevention Month—a perfect time to rethink the safety and comfort of the spaces you use every day. At Michael Graves Design, we believe safety and style should go hand in hand. Here are five simple ways to reduce fall risks throughout your home, paired with thoughtful products from our Michael Graves Design × Pottery Barn collaborations and our award-winning mobility collection.

1. Bathroom: Add Support Where You Need It Most

The bathroom is one of the most common places for falls, especially with wet, slippery surfaces. Installing integrated grab bars makes all the difference.

The Everson Vanity’s integrated grab bar, which also serves as a towel bar, offers a subtle yet essential point of contact, whether for a child reaching for the sink, an adult navigating low light, or an older user seeking confidence and control.

The Linden Towel Bar with Integrated Grab Bar and Linden Toilet Paper Holder with Integrated Grab Bar discreetly double as sturdy supports.

The Linden Grab Frame offers both vertical and horizontal balance points without sacrificing design.

2. Bedroom: Choose Accessible Bedside Solutions

A safe bedroom starts with a bed frame designed for support and accessibility. The Michael Graves Design × Pottery Barn Bed Frame provides a stable foundation that makes getting in and out of bed easier, while also pairing seamlessly with the collection’s storage solutions. Nightstands like the Sausalito Nightstand are CPAP-friendly and keep essentials within reach to reduce unnecessary movement at night. Together, these pieces create a bedroom that’s both comfort-driven and fall-prevention focused.

3. Living Room: Keep Stability in Style

Your living space should be welcoming, comfortable, and safe. Seating like the Bradford Chair and Spencer Armchair are built with supportive arm heights and swivel mechanisms to help reduce the risk of falls when standing or sitting. These designs prove that accessible furniture can blend right into your home—bringing peace of mind without compromising on aesthetics.

4. On the Go: Bring Safety with You

For mobility outside the home, a cane can be a life-saving tool for fall prevention.

The C-Grip Cane features a C shaped handle that reduces wrist strain while improving stability.

The Quick Fold Cane collapses easily for travel, so you’re never without support.

The Streamline Cane combines sleek design with everyday reliability, proving safety can still look stylish.

5. Whole Home: Design with Prevention in Mind

Think beyond one room. Clear pathways, good lighting, and the right support tools make your entire home safer. The key is integration, choosing products that are both functional and beautiful. That’s what Michael Graves Design has always stood for: Delight for All.
