How to adapt the home for children?

  • Ideas

The arrival of a child or the move of a family with children to a different house brings up an important issue: adapting the home environments for the little ones, both in terms of safety, accessibility and practicality.

Some options to make environments safer are covering furniture, protecting electrical points, rounding the corners of tables, betting on painting with non-toxic and washable paints, expanding spaces for better mobility for children, among others. For greater practicality in cleaning, it is interesting to replace carpets and curtains, which can collect dust and crumbs and cause allergies in children, with other more practical options.

In the case of babies and small children, who crawl, are curious and climb surfaces, it is necessary to be even more careful. Invest in locks for cabinets, try to store all cleaning, hygiene, medicine and other dangerous objects on higher shelves, install safety nets on windows and always be aware when opening and closing doors.

It is important to remember that, even with all these precautions, decoration and design do not necessarily have to be left out. It is possible to combine the safety of the little ones with a tasteful decoration when taking certain precautions. Bet on beautiful and resistant materials, rounded furniture, non-slip rugs and bet on comfortable furniture like armchairs and sofas.
