Hello! I am Allyson Forrister — founder of Counterpane Interiors.I started my business in 2011 and began offering Aging in Place design services in 2016.With aging comes physical challenges. We need to start building and modifying our homes to anticipate the future. An aging-friendly home is easier for EVERYONE to live in. We need to start making universal design practices the new normal for the way we live in our homes, shape our spaces and build our dwellings.Today I typically serve a more focused group of clients:-Empty nesters who want to update their long-time home or downsize to a smaller one.-Families with multigenerational homes with or without an in-law suite.-Couples or individuals nearing retirement or newly retired who want to craft the next chapter of their lives.-People of any age who are living with a physical disability in a conventionally built home.-People who are planning to downsize. I believe that at its core, the practice of Interior Design is meant to protect the health, safety, and well-being of the souls who use the spaces that interior designers create. No one should feel challenged at home due to age or physical impairment. Home is meant to be our sanctuary, not our prison and we help our clients adapt their home to match their lifestyle.If you have a project that you would like to talk to us about, then please do not hesitate to schedule a FREE 30-minute call with us here: www.counterpaneinteriors.com/work-with-us
