Furniture for Better Senior Living
Blog – August 23, 2023
Seniors are eager to establish new friendships and maintain existing relations in their senior living communities. In addition to creating spaces that are elegant and homelike, senior communities are investing in furniture that supports the connectivity and activities of their residents.
Furniture for luxurious common areas in senior living
Lounge chairs and versatile ottomans are preferred for senior living common areas. These are the areas where residents gather for conversation, reading and watching television. Begin with a warm color palette and add wall units and cabinetry to store movies and supplies. Displays books and artwork to add a sense of comfort and hominess. Kwalu’s Rivara Lounge Collection, with its elegant, tufted button back detailing and optional nail head trim, places the user in the lap of luxury. The Bellino Ottoman, in two sizes, serves as a seat and an occasional table.
Seating that serves a dual purpose in senior living
Senior living communities have been and continue to create spaces that serve multiple functions. Rooms for dining and playing games. These gathering flex spaces are great and what’s needed to make them highly functional is seating that serves both purposes. Kwalu’s Saluzzo is a beautiful chair, suitable for the dining table or the game table. Put casters on this chair and the room is easily reconfigured for whatever plans the residents have.
Furniture that supports activity in senior living
Seniors living in communities enjoy the same activities they did when they lived at home. Especially planting and harvesting what they’ve planted. The weather may not always cooperate but that shouldn’t keep active seniors from their passion for planting. Seniors can work at Kwalu’s Vivaio Potting Bench or the Planting Table while standing or seated in a wheelchair. It has sizable planting spaces and plenty of storage for pots and bags of soil. Imaging the joy on the faces of gardeners when they see these options on the lanai or in the sunroom.
