 Barrier Free Living with Universal Design Imagine a home that is as beautiful and easy to get around when you’re young as when you’ve reached your senior years. That is a Universal Design home.
It’s easiest to build a new home or add an addition with Universal Design but you can also remodel your home’s current features to make them safer and more accessible. Universal Design is not just for people in wheelchairs and it doesn’t have to be obvious. Wider doorways, entranceways and hallways make a home look more spacious. Strategically-placed, decorative railings and grab bars can prevent falls. Single-level living can eliminate stairs which can become one of the biggest hurdles for people with limited physical abilities.
Want to make your home more user-friendly with Universal Design? Kitchen & Bath Depot is a full-service remodeler and can adapt your home to your needs now so you can keep your independence and remain in your home for as long as possible.
Bathrooms: Safe Bath Depot is the Universal Design Division of Kitchen & Bath Depot specializing in Bathrooms. Bathrooms can be the most dangerous room in the home simply because wet surfaces are slippery but there’s lots of “safe bath” features you can keep in mind when remodeling.
- Threshold-free, wide doorways- minimum 32″ width
- Barrier-free showers with seating
- Handheld showerheads positioned at a comfortable height
- Grab bars in shower
- Elevated toilet with assist-bars/safety rails
- Anti-scald, pressure balancing valves
- Vanities at custom heights
- At least 60″ of clear floor space to accommodate wheel chairs
- Choose easy-turn levers or sensor motion faucets for your fixtures
- If you love to bathe in a tub, consider a walk-in tub with hydro-therapy.
Kitchens: Arthritic hands or failing eyesight can make it difficult to work in the kitchen. Try these improvements:
- Choose appliances with controls on the front or side
- Variable height countertops for sitting or standing – accommodates tall and short/young and old
- Avoid knobs on cabinets and draws as they can be harder to grasp than pulls
- Plenty of task and overhead lighting – especially near cooking areas
- Keep bending to a minimum and take advantage of today’s smart cabinets and install lower flexible, rollout bins, drawers and shelving. Everything can be neatly organized in less space.
- Granite is beautiful but might not be the best choice for children or the elderly who are not so steady. Dropped glass items shatter easier because granite is one of the earth’s hardest stones. Opt for bacteria-resistant, man-made quartz surfaces that are virtually maintenance-free.
Is staying in your own home for as long as possible your goal or perhaps you’re a caretaker that needs room or whole-house modifications?

Kitchen islands from Kitchen & Bath Depot are the ultimate update for adding style, utility, more appliances, seating, countertop space and storage to your kitchen remodel.
Consider expanding with a kitchen addition if you’re remodeling and just can’t fit this important work/entertainment center into your current kitchen footprint. An island is a wonderful separate cooking area but also serves as a social hub that your family and friends will gravitate to.
Here’s a collection of some sensational ones by Kitchen & Bath Depot with some nice features that will certainly elevate your new “Heart of the Home” to a whole new level of enjoyment:
The accent island: Love the look of wood but also like the openness that white cabinets offers? Have both. Set off your island with a different finish. This island sports a handy cooktop, lots of storage and shelving for keeping your favorite cookbooks nearby.
The entertainment island: Tuck a wine fridge under an island for easy entertaining right in the kitchen.
The cooking island: Plenty of room to create your cuisine and serve it fresh and hot right there for your guests on the granite countertop.
Dinner-is-served island: Room for 4 at this bi-level, stand-alone preparation area with oven and cooktop. Comfortable levels for sitting or standing.
The classic island: lots of storage and furniture-level beauty to use. A stunning, multi-use station for your kitchen.
The green machine island: rich green granite tops this handy work and baking island with oven and storage.
The hybrid island: has the looks of an island but in actuality it’s a wall knock-down. It combines the sink, dishwasher, seating area and improves the flow to the adjoining room- and opens up a lot of entertainment possibilities.
The oasis island: relocate your plumbing to the middle of the kitchen and have your sink and dishwasher centrally located to have a clean stretch of countertops along the wall. This kitchen island will also give you a good view of the adjoining room and let you face your kitchen company while you work.
The narrow island: Just enough extra countertop space and storage drawers to make a huge difference in a traditional kitchen.
Picked your favorite kitchen island that fits your lifestyle? Bring your ideas to Kitchen and Bath Depot’s Showroom in Rockville, Maryland and start planning that new kitchen you’ve always wanted with your own, private island.
Our designers created all these lovely kitchen islands for our customers with their particular needs in mind – and are looking forward to assisting you with your uniquely, perfect KBD design. Contact us today to get started…

 A quality kitchen cooks Everyone appreciates a well-designed kitchen. It’s the one that exudes warmth, invites everyone in, and blends well with the architecture of your home. It’s the one that is easy to work in and the quality shines in every corner. There are many ways to make a kitchen design stellar. There’s also many ways to ruin a good kitchen with poor design and material choices. That’s where Kitchen & Bath Depot can help.
Cabinets: make sure your design starts with quality cabinets with good hinges. Think of the heavy use a kitchen cabinet or drawer gets during its lifetime. To get your budget’s worth invest in a line that touts its craftsmanship, not just its price tag. Kitchen & Bath Depot carries cabinet manufacturers that hold up to their promises like KraftMaid, Woodharbor, Bertch, Bellini, Holiday Kitchens, Durasupreme, Showplace - many more…
Tip: Cabinets that go up to the ceiling eliminate a wasted, dust-magnet area that can create extra maintenance for you.
Space: Make sure you balance your space. You don’t have to have so many cabinets that it gives your kitchen a walled appearance. Excessive storage that may never be used can take up valuable, working counterspace – especially around wall ovens - and can make a smaller room feel needlessly cramped.
Appliances: Go easy on the stainless. Stainless appliances are attractive but can overpower a kitchen and give your “heart of the home” a sterile appearance.
Style: Put your personal stamp on the kitchen and avoid cookie-cutter designs – our talented Kitchen & Bath Depot designers can help you attain that. A kitchen with personal touches like art, dishes, architectural and cabinet details – they all add up to a beautiful experience in the room you and your family spend quality time in. Keep the design restrained and try not to overdo the details or a small kitchen can become busy-looking and distracting fast.
Talk to Kitchen and Bath Depot about your new kitchen ideas and let us show you how to create a perfect, tasteful space in your home that you’re proud of ~ that everyone gravitates to, and makes preparing meals a pleasure for you. Visit our fabulous Kitchen & Bath Depot showroom in Rockville soon to get your new kitchen design “cooking”.

 Walk-in Tubs are a Safer Bathing Alternative Kitchen and Bath Depot carries walk-in tubs from Best Bath Systems and Luxury Bath Systems – both highly rated, innovative tubs for accessible bathing.
Why would you need a walk-in tub versus a regular tub? The most slippery room in your house is the bathroom because of the combination of water and slick water-resistant surfaces. The best time to think of making your bathroom safer is now – before you’ve had an accident. Accidents in the bathroom account for millions of dollars in medical costs and accidental deaths, especially in the senior years. A bad fall can mean the end to independent living. Be a smart “caretaker”. You’ll be better prepared for elderly guests in your home also.
Walk-in tubs are a great way to bath for anyone of limited capabilities (like seniors or handicapped individuals of any age).
- easy and safer to get in and out of
- have built-in seating
- they fit right in the space of a standard tub
- come in a variety of white shades to match your current bathroom design
- have many safety features: grab bars, special drain waste/water overflow, water-tight door (left or right side).
- there are even whirlpool options for a really relaxing soak
Want to know a little more about walk-in tubs? Come into our Rockville, MD showroom and we’ll show you an actual tub so you can see the quality for yourself. Contact Kitchen and Bath Depot, the accessible bathing experts..
 Ask Kitchen & Bath Depot about all the features of the BigE tub by Best Bath Systems
 A new bathroom in as little as a day! Right before any holiday we get a lot of frantic homeowners with guests coming and they want to know how they can get a bathroom remodeled quickly. The answer is bath liners (also known as tub liners or shower surrounds). We can fit your existing tub surround with the newest in materials and you’ll be excited with the results. The liners of today are nothing like what you may remember from years ago.
Here’s some reasons why you may choose a bathliner from Kitchen and Bath Depot over a custom designer bathroom:
- We’ve been replacing tubs, showers and enclosures since 1988
- It costs a fraction of the cost consumers normally pay.
- The technology creates custom tub liners and wall systems designed to fit perfectly over existing tubs and wall surfaces.
- Made from tough ABS-backed and solid acrylics
- Kitchen & Bath Depot can install your new tubs and walls along with brand new faucets and fixtures in as little as one day (if there are no major problems existing).
- We can adjust the design to make it ADA compliant and safe for older users
- Microban protects your tub area from mold and mildew so it’s easy to clean
- Many features are available to give you just the look you want: European designed doors, luxurious whirlpools, acrylic wainscoting and accessories give you options to create a bright contemporary looking bathroom.
- Available in solid colors, marbles and granites, faux 4×4 and 8×8 tile styles, to fit over hundreds of bath designs.
Bath liners are the perfect system for someone who wants a maintenance-free tub or shower that is mold and mildew resistant; it won’t require periodic grouting and caulking like most wall tile and tile shower bases. So you can make that guest bathroom deadline affordably, quickly - and love the results! Your home’s value and guests will enjoy it too. Contact Kitchen & Bath Depot today or stop by our Rockville, MD showroom and talk to our designers.
