The children's bedroom should be decorated in a lively, fun and attractive manner, complete with dolls, soft toys and brightly coloured bed linen, to create a welcome area in which children feel at home. However, it is also vital to preserve their safety.
The furniture The vast majority of children's furniture is now designed with rounded corners. If your furniture has pointed edges or juts out, you can buy a corner protector, which can be made of different materials, such as rubber or plastic. They come in a wide range of colours, enabling you to combine them with the rest of the furniture.
It is also advisable that any drawers have safety stops to prevent your children from pulling them out completely and tipping over their contents.
Shelves and cupboards It is important for the contents of cupboards to be in order to prevent an accident. Never place heavy items in the upper part: use this space for bed linen and clothing.
Many children have a habit of climbing the bedroom's furniture when there are no adults around. For this reason the shelves should be firmly fixed to the wall to support to prevent children from forcing them.
On the floor Children spend much of their time on the floor of their bedroom, so you should place a soft and comfortable flooring. Carpets are not the best option as they accumulate a lot of dust and bugs. The most useful option is to install rubber or foam mats, which are sold in many colours and some even come in the form of puzzles. Specially manufactured to be used by children, they are very comfortable and spongy and do not pick up as much dust and dirt as traditional mats.
