Designing Homes for Low Vision with Nancy Clanton

Episode 8
32m | Jul 1, 2021

In this episode I had the pleasure of talking to Nancy Clanton about how critical interior design and lighting is for those with low vision.

Nancy Clanton is the founder and CEO of Clanton & Associates, an award winning lighting design firm specializing in sustainable and regenerative design. She was a part of the Low Vision Design Committee of the National Institute of Building Sciences that developed and published Design Guidelines for the Visual Environment. The guidelines provide specific design recommendations regarding the visual environment in order to afford equal access to all facilities through universal design principles. 

We discussed these guidelines and other design advice to help you or a loved one with low vision safely navigate and enjoy the home. Hear how impaired vision can impact the use of stairs, glass doors and even patterned carpets.
