The practicality and decorative effect of home decoration are the most frequently mentioned. However, in addition to these two points, there is another point that is rarely mentioned, but very important, and that is security. Especially for families with small children at home, safety is an issue that cannot be ignored in the renovation.
In this issue, we will talk about the unsafe designs in home life.
This security hazard is very hidden. Because many of the windows in the early days were sliding windows, there would be no such problem at all. But now that they are all installed with broken bridge windows, the problem comes. Many broken bridge windows are designed to open inwards with casement windows, and we always need to open the windows in our daily life.
Generally, after opening the window, we will not notice that the window frame is dangerous in the room. Sometimes small children are playing by the window, and if they suddenly stand up, they will be in danger of hitting their heads. However, more than that, even adults who bend down and mop the floor may also hit their heads here and break the bloodstream.
In this case, it is best to design the style before installing the window, which can be made into a sliding or outward-opening one. If your windows have been fitted with inward windows, it is impossible to replace them, and you can put an anti-collision protective cover to save it.
Straight lines are also a favorite design element for many designers. Whether it looks good or not varies from person to person. However, if you have children at home, you can't be easily carried by the rhythm. Because, some straight lines are potential safety hazards, such as the right-angled edge of furniture, such as the coffee table, which is just within the height range of the baby is very dangerous.
For the sake of safety, it is best to replace the coffee table with a rounded edge. Of course, dangerous right-angle furniture doesn't stop there, you have to eliminate them one by one.
Although the wall cabinet door has no floor rail, it is easy to clean and will not accumulate dirt, but because the hem of the door leaf is only positioned by the point, it is very unstable. If you have a child at home to pull, there is a possibility of falling, and the danger is relatively high.
Door and window manufacturers are obviously aware of this problem, balancing aesthetics, practicality and safety. In addition to the large ground rails and hanging rails, there are also extremely narrow ground rail gates. It's not as perfect as a wall door, but safety is more important, isn't it?
The safety hazard of the movable low cabinet is really hidden. Some children will pull the furniture, if there is a low movable cabinet at home, especially the thin low cabinet with drawers. Small children will open drawers and climb them, which can cause the cabinet to fall out of balance and cause it to fall down, with serious consequences.
Furniture like this should be able to be fixed as much as possible. Even if the child is pulling or climbing, it is safe.
Sockets are also a major safety hazard in the home, especially those with a height of less than 1 meter. Children are at risk of electric shock if they take a key, plug or finger to plug it in.
For this kind of hidden danger, we can choose a safety socket to prevent electric shock, or we can try to make the height of the socket a little higher. If it's not convenient, you can also buy a socket cover.
Some friends will put a fitting mirror at home, which is also dangerous. This kind of mirror is very light, and if a child pulls it, it can be pulled down at once.
Mirrors are prone to breakage and are sharp, making them very dangerous. In addition to the active fitting mirror, even if it is fixed, it is inevitable that children will break things. So, whether it's a moving fitting mirror or a fixed mirror, try not to put it out of reach of the little ones.
The large floor-to-ceiling windows are beautiful, but they are also dangerous. First, the glass is easy to explode, and secondly, children's scooters or when playing may also hit the glass, causing it to break and cause danger.
Although the railings and anti-theft nets are not good-looking, they also increase the workload of cleaning, but at least they are safe. If you have small children at home, it is recommended to install protective railings.
If you don't like the railing, you can also use acrylic to protect it, after all, safety is the most important thing.
There are many hidden dangers in decoration, and for the potential safety hazards that can be avoided, we must eliminate them as soon as possible, after all, the safety of home life is more important than beauty.
Finally, I wish you all a happy decoration!
