Fabulous Accessible Interiors
Anyone who has ever used a wheelchair, or tried to push a wheelchair or child's buggy over a thick carpet or rug (particularly in a hotel corridor!) knows how hard it is to move the wheels over the carpet. The rubber almost sticks to it and makes it really hard to move. So what flooring [...]
We are on the hunt again for a sofa. (The dreaded hunt begins again!) Our current sofa (see my other post on how to choose a sofa when you have a disability) is a little low. We knew it at the time and we are slowly getting to the point of needing something new. So [...]
And before we realised it, it's THAT time of year again. The questions come from text, social media and phone calls 'What do you want for Christmas?' From our point of view I think Mr Wheel Chic Home would like a new set of legs please. And a brain clear of Multiple Sclerosis. But as [...]
As regular readers to the blog will know, Mr Wheel Chic Home has Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. This is the form of MS that starts and just gets worse, with gradual changes over the years. We started to think about adjustments after his diagnosis, but he was still walking without an aid at that time [...]
The space under the bed is usually one of the least utilised spaces in our home and yet it's a large opportunity for storage that we don't often think about. I'm on the look out for a new storage bed in my spare room and so I wanted to share some ideas... If you're a [...]

I'm guessing most people will have seen those standard grab rails in hospitals or disabled loos or in your doctor's surgery. And [...]
Regular readers to this blog will know that the husband has wobbly legs and uses crutches or a wheelchair to get around the house. This causes us some issues when choosing lovely things for the home and the coffe table is no exception. In previous posts, I've talked about the bed, sofa, dining table and [...]
As you will know from this post and this post Mr WheelChicHome is disabled and wobbles about the house on crutches or sometimes in his wheelchair. This is causing me an issue when looking for a table and chairs. The table and chairs we’ve had in the kitchen have been with us for about eight [...]
As you might have seen in a previous post, we are looking to redecorate the living room early this year (once I'm fully up and about after my foot surgeries). The colour palette is currently white and grey with red accents and a bit woody, but I'm looking to change that to more blue/turquoise/teal in some [...]
