A renovation you can retire to.

We bring highly specialized design expertise and a deep understanding of the body’s aging process, meticulously weighing the impact of every decision throughout planning and design. We eliminate obstacles and hidden hazards to help prevent debilitating falls, which is essential to longevity and wellness.

Balance begins to decline in our 50s, and falls grow more likely from there. By age 65, 1 in 4 adults fall each year, according to the CDC. Falls are costly, usually preventable, and physically, emotionally, and cognitively life-changing. They are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injury among older adults, and most happen at home, most often in the bathroom.

Bonnie J. Lewis Design will expertly design your home, or your primary bathroom, to reduce your fall risk and prepare your home to adapt to your needs as you age. We thoughtfully design for beauty, comfort, and functionality, with accessibility for mobility devices such as a walker or wheelchair, or for caregiver assistance, something you will be grateful for in the years ahead.

It is wise to prepare now, while you have the time to do it well. All too often, a move to assisted living is forced rather than chosen, because a home has no ADA bathroom or is deemed unsafe to return to after a hospital stay, surgery, or illness. According to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, 97% of U.S. homes are not ready for aging in place. Planning ahead keeps both the decision and your independence in your hands.

Safe, functional luxury design for a lifetime.

From whole-house projects to a single room, our Luxury Well-Aging Design service includes meticulous interior architectural space planning, architectural feature design and detailing for showers, vanities, ceilings, millwork, and fireplaces, CAD drawings, color palette development, and the intentional selection of every hard surface, material, and finish, along with cabinetry, plumbing, lighting, and support fixtures chosen to make the home suitable for aging comfortably. To complete the wellness design, we offer procurement and installation of furniture, artwork, accessories, and window treatments.
