Tips for childproofing and pet-proofing the home through DIY projects

[SerendipitySeeker]

Hi there!! as a mom and with kids and pets in the house, safety has always been my top priority. Can you share ideas on what are the effective DIY projects and solutions for childproofing and pet-proofing the home to prevent accidents and keep everyone safe and happy?

For me that someone has a toddler and also a pet lover. Their safety is my priority, so I made wooden bars that can close and open. I built this to cover our stairs, to keep my toddler and pet from wandering downstairs, which is very dangerous for both of them.

Hi SerendipitySeeker ! Absolutely, safety is key with little ones and pets around. For childproofing, I've found installing cabinet locks, outlet covers, and baby gates super helpful. Plus, DIYing soft edges on furniture with corner guards minimizes bumps and bruises. For pets, creating designated play areas and DIYing sturdy pet gates can keep them safe and out of trouble. Hope these ideas help! 🏡🐾

I found this on Storables, and they have tons of great ideas that can help you out with any home problems you might be facing. Check it out!

Secure cabinets and drawers with childproof locks, cover electrical outlets with outlet covers, install baby gates at stairs and doorways, and use cordless blinds or tie up blind cords out of reach for childproofing; while for pet-proofing, consider installing pet gates, using pet-friendly flooring, securing trash bins, and providing designated spaces for pet toys and accessories to keep your home safe and comfortable for both children and pets.⛑️
