Interior Spaces: Adapting Your Home to Your Disability

Doorways, thresholds, countertops, bathtubs......other than the aesthetics, the size, shape, or placement of these features are rarely more than a passing thought.

For those living with a disability that requires the use of a mobility aid or are a part of the sandwich generation and looking after a loved one-- all of these features take on new meaning.

One of the areas that has become a problem for me is flooring. While I do love the warm, cozy felt of carpet, my allergies and mobility aides do not.  Which aid I need varies day to day but not one is compatible with carpet, so it's time for a change.

Through word of mouth and Instagram crawls, I made contact with a few companies for flooring. The company whose product impressed me most is a new to me company called Flooret. I requested and received this gorgeous box of samples to help make my decision. 


Based in Smithville, TN, Flooret is a direct to consumer company, offering sustainable, luxury LVP in a variety of finishes. For my needs, I was in search of a material that was certainly allergy friendly, sustainable, insulated, water resistant and shock absorbent. I wasn't sure any one product would be able to meet such expectations....and for a reasonable price, but Flooret definitely did not disappoint.

Through they're very ADA digitally friendly website ( thank you) customers are able to upload photos of their space and have a virtual view of what their chosen product would look like in their home. If uploading photos isn't an option, you can also utilize Flooret's pre- loaded room visualizer took as shown below.

Every bit of information one could need to make the best informed decision for their needs can be found on the FAQ page ( very detailed) , through the live chat option or through the Contact Us feature. All of this info and more can be found on their website at www.flooret.com

While I haven't yet scheduled my install, I feel good about the endless possibilities Flooret has to offer. Stay tuned... ❤️
