Description

<p>Welcome back to <em>Home Design Chat with Nancy</em>. Today we’re talking about something that affects every homeowner—whether they realize it or not—and that’s <strong>accessible home design</strong>.</p><p>This isn’t about creating a home that looks clinical or institutional. It’s about designing spaces that are safer, smarter, and honestly… just better designed.</p><p> I’m so excited to have <strong>Erica Sell, owner of Harmony Home Medical Supply in San Diego, </strong> with me today.</p><p> Accessibility is one of the most misunderstood areas of home design—and one of the most important.</p><p>It&#39;s about preparing for the worst. It’s about creating a home that supports you—beautifully—through every stage of life.</p><p>When it’s done right, you don’t notice it. You just feel how well the space works. </p><p>Smart design, timeless design, accessible design—they’re all the same thing.</p><p>These are our topics in this podcast:</p><ul><li><strong> What accessibility really means today. </strong></li><li><strong>The European wet room influence. </strong></li><li><strong>Off-the-shelf products that work.</strong></li><li><strong>Specialized tubs vs roll-in showers.</strong></li><li><strong>Cost, funding &amp; realistic planning.</strong></li></ul><p>If you’re planning on a<strong> renovation</strong>, I would definitely be happy to work with you. </p><p>I currently have <strong>availability in February</strong>. You can email me anytime at <a href="" rel="noopener">[email protected]</a>—I’d love to hear from you.</p><p>And finally, visit <strong>DesignersCircleHQ.com</strong>, a website I started 18 years ago. It covers everything related to design and features updated podcasts, design trends, design news, and more. The site is updated every other week. </p><p>Thanks for listening, and I’ll see you next time on <strong>Home Design Chat with Nancy</strong>.</p><p>If you want to learn more about me, go to <a href="http://nancyhugo.com/">NancyHugo.com</a> </p><p>This podcast is sponsored by <a href="https://www.monogram.com/">⁠⁠<strong>Monogram.com</strong></a></p><p><br></p>
