With the increase of age, the health of the elderly is threatened by multiple threats. The most important thing in the design of the old people's house is safety and convenience. There are many differences between the design of the old people's house and the design of ordinary houses that need attention. Starting from the details, we should use filial piety to create a warm and comfortable home that conforms to the psychological and physical health characteristics of the elderly, so that the elderly can enjoy their old age.

1. Selection of rooms for the elderly

1. Floor

2. Matters needing attention in material selection

1. Old people's physique and resistance are not strong, so there are more requirements for decoration materials, which need to be natural, environmentally friendly and less polluted. Do not use toxic environmental protection materials.

2. Newly renovated rooms must be ventilated for a period of time to let the smell of paint go away before the elderly can live.

3. In addition, wood, bamboo, stone, etc. can be used as decoration materials for the old people's houses, and non-slip bricks and wooden floors are needed for the floors. Minimize the use of metals and composite engineering plastics.

Third, the decoration color of the old people's room

1. Handrails are heavy and safe

Many old people have difficulty in moving, getting up, sitting down and bending over. At this time, it will be their good helper to set up handrails with a height of 1 to 1.5 meters on the wall, especially in the rain area, toilets, washbasins and other places, and put small seats in the lobby;

2. Furniture should be safe

In order to take care of the life characteristics of the elderly, when purchasing furniture for them, you should choose less angular furniture and place it against the wall as far as possible. You can also choose furniture that is equivalent to the height of the desk to facilitate support when you get up, and pay attention to the stability of the folding chair;

3. Simple decoration is more important than habit

The design of the old people's room is best to choose simple style, and the layout can vary from person to person, but don't force the old people to throw away their old furniture that has been used for many years and has good quality. You can leave a relatively large space on the windowsill to put potted flowers and birdcages;

4. Add convenience and attach importance to details

Indoor light sources should be as bright as possible, and some lights should be arranged as far as possible at the entrance, corridor, bathroom and kitchen, stairs, bedside and other places to prevent the elderly from falling; Details

5. Pay attention to the quality of sleep < P > Beds and sofas should be suitable for the elderly to get up and down; Bedding requires good warmth, and it is best to buy cotton materials for sheets and quilts; It is suitable for a slightly hard mattress, and the sofa should not be too soft, otherwise it will make the old people "sink into it"

6. Pay attention to the anti-skid on the ground

The old people are often slow to move and suffer from osteoporosis, which is easy to cause fractures after falling. Therefore, we should pay great attention to the anti-skid measures on the ground, install cork floors or anti-skid tiles, and pay attention to the placement of foot pads at the door, in front of the bathroom and indoor stairs;

7. Good ventilation and lighting

Old people have much more opportunities to stay in their rooms, so for them, the bedroom is almost the focus of their old life. For the elderly, damp and cold is enough to affect their quality of life, and it is also easy to make the elderly feel uncomfortable psychologically;

8. Pay attention to the electrical switch

The electrical switch and gas switch should be located in a conspicuous position, and the control is convenient and simple; The light switch in the bathroom should have night vision function, or choose a switch with light control and voice control function.

Fourth, the decoration style of the elderly

1. Introduction of Chinese modern style

The composition of Chinese style is mainly reflected in traditional furniture (mostly Ming and Qing furniture), decorations and decorative colors dominated by black and red. The indoor layout is mostly symmetrical, with elegant style, simple and beautiful shape, thick and mature color.

2. Introduction of American pastoral style

American pastoral style furniture usually has simplified lines and rough volume, and its materials are also very extensive: solid wood, printed cloth, hand-woven nylon, linen fabric and naturally cut stone.

3. Brief introduction of European style

European style inherits the decorative features of traditional European style, and pursues the continuity of spatial changes and the layering of physical changes in design, which not only retains the elegance and luxury of classical European style, but also adapts to the leisure and comfort of modern life.

4. Introduction of Classical Style

Compared with young people who like modern fashion styles, middle-aged and elderly people prefer classical Chinese home decoration. Classical Chinese style does not mean that they are rigid and old-fashioned, but it shows a feeling of nostalgia.

five, feng shui for the decoration of the old people's room

the orientation, bed placement, furniture selection and ornaments placement of the old people's room all play an important role in the feng shui of the bedroom. The following small series introduces the decoration of the old people's room from three aspects: the location of the old people's room, the placement of the bed and the decoration of the old people's room, so that the old people can live healthily and comfortably.

1. Orientation should be avoided: the southeast is favorable to avoid the northwest

Warm and sunny are the elements needed by the elderly, so the rooms with sufficient sunshine in the southeast and south are the most suitable. The cold in the northwest is heavier.

2. location should be avoided: close to the bathroom and avoid the center

the elderly room should be as close to the bathroom as possible to facilitate the elderly. Of course, it is best to have convenient lighting and communication tools, which will affect the rest of the elderly.

3. The orientation of the bedside should be avoided: the bedside should be real but not empty

The bedside can be oriented to the east, west, north and south. If the sleep quality is not high, it is easier to fall asleep in the west. The bedside should be against the wall, not the window, and the back of the bedside should not be the toilet or kitchen.

4. The position of the bed should be avoided: it should be on the same side as the diagonal of the door

It is best for the bed to be diagonal to the door of the room, so as to avoid going straight to the door, and the bed should not be topped by the beam, otherwise it will be very harmful to the health of the elderly.

5. Avoid placing mascots: Wind chimes with good calligraphy techniques should be avoided.

Landscape flower-and-bird paintings or calligraphy crafts symbolizing longevity, health and happiness should be placed, and wind chimes and some vulgar and unclean ornaments should be avoided.

6. Plant/ornament placement should be taboo: small plants should avoid spiny plants

Some soft and fresh plants should not be too big and placed on the balcony. It is not advisable to plant spiny plants and plants with too green leaves in the room, otherwise it will give the elderly a sense of oppression.
