Flatpack furniture makes our homes stylish and functional, but when little ones are around, safety comes first. From curious climbers to runaway drawers, a few smart precautions can make all the difference. Here are our expert child-safety furniture tips to help you keep your home secure and stress-free.
1. Anchor Everything
Tall or heavy furniture such as wardrobes, bookcases, and drawers should always be fixed to the wall or floor. Anti-tip fixings and ground anchors prevent accidental tipping and are an essential step in childproofing your home.
2. Secure TVs and Screens
TVs can be top-heavy — make sure they’re mounted securely or anchored to a stable unit to avoid dangerous topples.
3. Avoid Temptation Zones
Children love to climb! Keep toys, remotes, and treats off high shelves so they’re not tempted to scale the furniture to reach them.
4. Soften Sharp Edges
Use corner guards or edge bumpers on low tables and cabinets to reduce bumps and bruises during playtime.
5. Check Regularly
Even the best flatpack furniture can loosen over time. Give screws and fixings a quick check every few months to make sure everything stays safe and sturdy.
