The Ergonomics of Home Design

Remodeling Perspectives

Ergonomics often feels like a buzzword, attached to random products like airport neck pillows, but it actually serves a real purpose. On Remodeling Perspectives today, we’re diving into how ergonomics can—and should—play a role in your home remodel designs.

We’ll start by breaking down what ergonomics truly means: designing environments to fit users comfortably. In your home, this means creating spaces that support how you live, making daily activities more efficient, enjoyable, and even healthier. It goes beyond physical comfort; it's about mental and emotional well-being, too.

Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen, reworking your living room, or revamping your bedroom, there are key ergonomic principles to keep in mind. For example, the kitchen "work triangle" concept ensures efficiency in meal prep, while customizable counter heights can reduce strain. In the bedroom, lighting plays a significant role in sleep hygiene, supporting better rest and recovery.

We also explore how these principles apply to every room and transition space, from wide doorways to lighting that adjusts to your circadian rhythm. Thinking about ergonomics in your remodel can help you create a home that isn’t just beautiful but one that truly works for you.

This episode isn’t just about furniture and fixtures; it’s about designing a space that supports your life. Follow along as we explore the science behind creating a home that’s not only stylish but also improves your well-being.

Tune in for actionable tips, insights, and a new way to think about your home’s design!
