    It is best to have fully enclosed furniture to avoid dust and facilitate cleaning. At the same time, there should not be a top cabinet that is too high to reduce the elderly to climb high and reduce the existence of unsafe factors.

    Especially in terms of the arrangement of drawers, the drawers should be relatively large. The elderly can put all their belongings inside, making it easy to find. For the bottom layer of furniture, it is best not to design partitions or cabinet doors, because the elderly have bad legs and feet, it is more difficult to squat, and the depth of the partition and cabinet door is too long, which is inconvenient to take things.

    If it is designed as a drawer, it is best to move the handle of the drawer up to make it easier for the elderly to pull it out.

    It is best not to choose movable furniture with pulleys for the elderly, such as small coffee tables and small cabinets that can be sliding, so as to avoid the elderly from moving as soon as they lean on it, resulting in falling.

    For example, the elderly with poor lumbar spine will require that the bed should have a certain height and the bed should not be too soft. Sofas and chairs should have a large seat width, and the wide size makes them more convenient to sit on, move more freely, and be more comfortable.

    The seat is equipped with armrests as much as possible, which can be grasped by the elderly when they sit up and increase the fulcrum of body balance.

    The elderly sleep very lightly and are easily woken up, so the silent design of the furniture should not be ignored. Usually, the drawer pull-out and the opening of the cabinet door should be muted as much as possible, such as the drawer is with damping, and the quality of the cabinet door hardware should be good. Avoid being woken up by one person sleeping and the other person opening and closing the furniture too loudly.

    Because the elderly stay at home for a long time, it is necessary to consider setting up seats and sofas that can allow the elderly to sit and lean comfortably, and at the same time setting up a coffee table or small table top that is convenient for the elderly to place the items in their hands.
