When you age, a simple knob turn can prove to be a frustrating challenge. Today, let’s look at a couple simple changes which will simplify your life.
Handles (as opposed to knobs) on hose bibs, faucets and doors are much easier to operate, as are pulls (versus knobs) on cabinet doors.
Another desirable feature of pulls like the ones pictured below is that they will not catch on your 
clothing. For example, knobs on base kitchen cabinets can be just the right height to catch on pants pockets, causing damage to clothing or cabinetry.
These simple ideas represent just a very few of the many Universal Design elements that can be seamlessly incorporated into your building project.
