A safe home is a happy home!
If you have young children, you’d know how easy it is for them to get into all sorts of mischief whenever you’re not looking. While parents can’t keep a watchful eye on their kids 24/7, you can help to create a safe space for them to run around in!
Here’s our mini guide on how to child-proof your home!

1. Change your flooring
For a child-safe, slip-proof option, particularly for toddlers who are taking their first steps, try Bamco’s bamboo charcoal flooring, which is not only FULLY recyclable, and can even help to purify their air at home! Plus, it’s also easy to maintain, especially if your toddler accidentally spills food on the floor often.

Adding a rug is an easy way to soften your children’s falls. Try putting these in places where your kids love to roam around at, such as the living room or their bedrooms. Not only that, the right rug can add an aesthetic appeal to your space instantly. From bold, colourful ones to a more minimalist look, HipVanorIKEA offer a wide range of rugs and carpets for you to choose from.

2. Don’t forget the paint on your walls
Some paints release emissions known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are a source of indoor air pollutants that can negatively impact your children’s health, which can cause nausea and irritation.

3. Keep things neat with storage solutions
To keep your children’s toys neat and tidy, and to minimise the risk of them tripping over haphazardly strewn clutter, all you need is a good storage rack and cultivating in them a good habit of keeping their own toys.
