Timeless Luxury Interiors for Wellness and Aging in Place

Well-designed homes evolve with you. Envisioning future needs allows us to build for flexibility.

This August, in honor of National Wellness Month, we’re celebrating the profound connection between wellness and the spaces we call home. At Glenna Stone Interiors, aging in place means creating a home that evolves with you–supporting comfort, accessibility, and well-being while remaining true to your personal style. We believe future-proofing a home should never mean compromising its beauty or elegance.

Luxe, spa-inspired bathrooms easily incorporate levers, handles and pulls that are easy to use for all ages. Flush flooring transitions eliminate tripping hazards, increase ease of mobility.

Thoughtful Interior Design for Every Stage of Life

Designing for wellness across every stage of life requires a mindset shift–one that looks ahead proactively, anticipating how a space can support you for decades to come. Our approach blends thoughtful planning with timeless luxury. From lever-style door handles and plumbing fixtures for easy gripping, to flush flooring transitions that reduce tripping hazards, to layered lighting that supports vision and circadian rhythms, every detail enhances both functionality and sophistication.

How Glenna Stone Designs Homes to Evolve Gracefully

We also help clients plan for the future with design features that adapt over time. For example, we’ve designed elevator chutes that function as fireplaces or millwork niches today, but can later convert into vertical lift space when needed. These solutions allow your home to age with you—without sacrificing aesthetic integrity.

We consider all the senses and how the building, furnishings, flooring, art, draperies and color choices enhance wellbeing. Homes & Gardens magazine featured this space for its serene color combo.

Wellness is also sensory. We prioritize acoustical comfort, smart lighting for circadian support, and organic materials that bring warmth and calm. Kitchens become ergonomic spaces for healthy living; bathrooms feel like spa retreats; and bedrooms invite restorative rest.

Thoughtfully designed providing ease of movement, smart access for equipment and factoring in comfortable seat heights are a few things we take into consideration in kitchens.

Our goal is to design homes that evolve with grace—supporting physical ease, emotional well-being, and a timeless sense of style to help families welcome every generation, foster connection and provide you peace of mind knowing your home will adapt seamlessly to life’s transitions.
