The American Institute of Architects' most recent Home Design Trends Survey, which highlights trends in residential design features that emerged in the fourth quarter of 2015, finds that as residential construction activity and demand for residential design continues to rise, homeowners are choosing to spend money on their kitchens and bathrooms, more so than other areas of the house.

Homeowners are still adding larger pantry spaces, double islands, and drinking water filtration systems, but less prominently than in 2014.

While their design choices might be great for looking cool and creating an atmosphere, clients need to stop and think about the safety implications of design and furniture choices.

This is when you start to get problems with poor posture and the risk of strains and injuries.

It makes sense to eliminate trip hazards just as carefully in spaces they will use as in areas frequented by older individuals.
