Designer homes and luxury houses, who doesn’t want these? The thing with building a designer home for you or your family is the satisfaction and utmost gratification that you get once the house is finished. It takes a lot of work to achieve that luxurious and perfect home that you feel most comfortable in and it just feels perfect once you get the last piece of decor in. 

However, luxury and designer homes are not limited to those without small children. Families who have babies and toddlers have to be slightly more careful about how they set up, prepare and decorate their luxury homes. Babyproofing has become a big thing and there are a lot of tools and accessories that help parents babyproof their homes. Let’s start with the basics. 

1. Babyproofing Tip: Cords & Wires 

Cords and wires are not your best friends when you have a child at home. These things can easily be pulled, tugged and yanked on. When you have a baby or toddler who is starting to walk around the house, it would be best to secure cords using a wall mount or organizers that will allow you to hide the cords and wires of appliances around the house. Remember that cords and wires carry electricity which means that exposing these wires if in any case it gets cut or bitten can pose a big threat to anyone.

2. Babyproofing Tip: Stairs and Steps 

Uneven heights or floors can be a hazard even for fully grown adults, what more for young children? Until they are able to walk around the house unsupervised, it is best to make sure that they cannot easily go down or up the stairs. A single slip can become a disaster.

If you’ve ever seen houses in Australia or anywhere around the world with small gates on the staircase, some even doors, that’s because parents have installed baby gates to prevent the kid from attempting to crawl up or down.

3. Babyproofing Tip: Sockets & Fireplaces

We talked about cords and wires but sockets are completely different. There have already been many cases where a kid would accidentally or out of curiosity, put his/her finger inside the socket or maybe a toy that he/she found. Again, being zapped is not something you want your kid to experience, right?

For sockets, simply buy socket plugs that block the openings or the holes of electric sockets at home. Another thing is a fireplace, if you have to use your fireplace, make sure that there is a barrier or a screen to avoid any accidents with fire. 

4. Babyproofing Tip: Furniture 

Since we are talking about babyproofing your luxury home in Australia, let’s not forget about protecting your furniture. During the early parts of a child’s life, he/she spends most of his/her time on a couch, crib or bed.

As kids, it is not unlikely that they wouldn’t make a mess. The easiest thing that you can do is to make sure that you have furniture that is designed to be used by kids or be in a home with kids.
