7 Innovative Furniture Trends for Senior Living

Ergonomically Designed Furniture

The heart behind all of our furniture design is to create the best experience possible for residents, which is why we custom make each piece to be ergonomic to promote mobility and support for residents. Our approach to furniture equally prioritizes comfort and safety by meeting regulation standards while maintaining the comfort that residents enjoy. This emphasis, with our commitment to ergonomics, ensures that every chair, bed, and table is crafted with the user's well-being in mind, reducing the risk of strain and injury – while promoting comfort. By focusing on the unique needs of seniors, we incorporate custom features to ensure residents are safe and comfortable in our furniture. This attention to detail not only enhances the physical well-being of residents but also fosters a sense of independence and confidence in their daily activities.

Multi-Functional Furniture

In senior living design, we understand that it is important to get the most out of each piece of furniture and space. Many common areas serve multiple purposes, which means communities need furniture to accommodate diverse needs. That’s why we create pieces with the capability to be used in different contexts. Our approach to multifunctional furniture ensures that seating, tables, and storage solutions are versatile enough to adapt to various activities and events within a single space. This flexibility not only maximizes the utility of each furniture piece but also enhances the overall functionality and efficiency of communal spaces. By integrating adaptable designs, we enable senior living communities to seamlessly transition between different settings. This not only creates flexibility for communities, but it also maximizes your ROI by getting the most out of your furniture and spaces.

Easy to Clean Fabrics

An important consideration when choosing your furniture is the longevity of the pieces. A contributor to the long-term health of your furniture is keeping the fabrics clean and looking fresh. When we tailor our furniture for senior living, we choose the finest materials such as Crypton fabrics or a new technology loved by Lux designers called Supreen. These vinyl materials give the appearance and feel of fabric but have the durability and cleanability of traditional vinyl. This selection not only ensures that our furniture maintains its aesthetic appeal over time but also simplifies maintenance for staff and residents. By prioritizing durability and easy upkeep, we enhance the longevity and functionality of our furniture, supporting a well-maintained environment in senior living communities.

Stylish and Modern Designs

Although functionality is extremely important in senior living, we believe that functionality doesn’t have to come at the expense of aesthetics. We offer our clients the opportunity to make their visions come to life. We bring luxury into every community we work with while maintaining all the necessary functionality that senior living design requires. By combining elegant design with practical considerations, we create environments that not only meet the functional needs of residents but also elevate the overall aesthetic appeal of their living spaces. Our approach ensures that each piece of furniture enhances both the visual appeal and functionality of senior living communities, fostering environments that are both luxurious and purposeful. By creating these elegant spaces, we are helping you create an incredible first impression on potential residents and their loved ones. You understand the quality of service you provide, and we want your spaces to share that.

Durable Furniture

Similar to the concern of fabrics, communities want to ensure their furniture is durable enough to withstand a senior living environment that may come with extra wear and tear. We meet this need by utilizing durable materials like aluminum and beechwood and applying them to traditional designs. By reverse engineering traditional furniture, we are able to create identical copies that are robust enough to withstand the rigors of senior living while maintaining a luxurious appearance. This approach not only ensures longevity and resilience but also allows us to preserve the timeless elegance of classic furniture styles, offering communities durable yet visually appealing options that enhance the overall ambiance and comfort for residents.

Incorporating familiar elements, cozy furnishings, and personalized touches can significantly enhance residents' comfort and well-being. By designing spaces that evoke warmth, security, and a sense of belonging, you not only create a more inviting environment but also support the emotional and social needs of your residents. This approach fosters a positive living experience where seniors feel valued and connected, promoting a true sense of home within your senior living community.
