Not sure what you're asking.. are you wanting to increase the sitting height of your chair?
It depends on how far you want to go. Wheelchairs take space so removing some furniture might help. I believe an average sized wheelchair needs 32" to pass through a door. You may need to widen doorways. Wheelchairs can't go up stairs so ramps may be needed. Pedestal sink in the bathroom, or remove cabinet under the sink.

Is this permanent or is it just for a short term visitor?
for a visitor, just moving furniture and throw rugs so you have clear open space to move about might help. For a permanent resident you can do much more.
