As a parent you know how important it is to have a home that is both stylish and practical, especially if you have children. But how do you create an interior that is not only beautiful, but also able to withstand the adventures of your children? In this article we share some useful tips and tricks to make your interior 'kid-proof', so that both you and your children can enjoy a safe and comfortable environment.
When choosing furniture and accessories, it is important to invest in durable materials that can withstand wear and tear. Think of sturdy materials such as file in microskin, and avoid delicate materials that can be easily damaged.
A tidy house is not only more pleasant to live in, but it is also safer for children to play. Provide sufficient storage space such as dressers, storage cupboards in bookcases to put away toys and other items when not in use. This also helps to prevent tripping hazards.
Choose furniture with rounded corners and avoid sharp edges that could cause injuries. It is also useful to invest in furniture that is easy to clean, such as dining room chairs with removable cushion covers.
With children in the house, it is almost inevitable that spills will happen occasionally. Therefore, choose fabrics that are stain resistant, such as treated cotton or synthetic fibers. That way, you can easily clean stains without worrying about permanent damage to your furniture.
Create special play areas in your home where children can play freely without endangering the rest of the interior. Make sure these areas are well shielded and provide them with soft rugs or play mats to absorb any falls.
Consider using elevated furniture such as hanging wall shelves and wall-mounted TVs to keep valuable items out of the reach of prying hands. This not only helps keep your interior tidy, but it also reduces the risk of accidents.
