Children are curious and love to explore. Therefore, when designing a house, the following factors should be kept in mind:

Height and size of balcony, window

Balcony railings must be designed to be high enough for a 6-year-old child not to climb over. In addition, the distance between the spokes or holes on the railing needs to ensure that the ball is at least 10 cm in diameter. To be more careful, the family can use additional protection nets.

For windows, homeowners should choose a type with solid bars or safety nets.

Fixed shelf system

Children love to hang on the shelves, so the use of removable cabinets will have potential risks. In this case, homeowners should use wall cabinets, ceiling cabinets ... and synchronize with the interior of the house to increase aesthetics.

The cabinet system needs to have a discreet design, to avoid leaving many fragile items on high. The size should also be spacious enough to store a lot of things, both to help keep the house space neat and to avoid causing curiosity for children.

Floor material with high grip

In the process of house design, homeowners have many choices of floor materials such as: marble, artificial stone, tiles, wood...

In addition, thanks to the low coefficient of thermal conductivity, the installation of wooden floors also helps the house to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Wood and stone floors with high grip are often preferred to ensure the safety of young children.

Stairs with handrails, no big gaps

Stairs without handrails have the advantages of aesthetics, neatness and space saving. But for families with young children, this type of design is potentially dangerous. Especially, for children, the stairs are always a new area. Therefore, parents should choose stairs with handrails and narrow the distance between the bars.

Note, the design of the handrail needs to ensure a height of 90 cm or more, durable materials. The clearance between the steps must be safe enough for children not to get through, the surface is anti-slip.

Interior without sharp edges

Using furniture with rounded edges, limiting sharp corners, will reduce the risk of injury if small children accidentally trip or bump. If you have bought furniture with sharp edges, homeowners can fix it by adding rubber pads to the outside.

Avoid planting poisonous plants

Planting lots of trees helps keep the house cool and close to nature. However, it is necessary to be careful and avoid some poisonous plants, which can be harmful to human health, especially children. Typically: gold coins, lilies, ten thousand years old, rhododendrons, cacti...
