Here are 5 easy ways to make your home instantly safer and more comfortable. Regardless if you have kids or grandparents around, you can set these up over a weekend.
Cabinet Hardware
Handles on your cabinets aren’t just decorative, they must be functional as well. If you have a choice, go with the D shaped or pull handles that allows for an easier grip instead of the knob handles.
Light Switch
If you’re replacing your light switches, get the rocker switch instead of the toggle switch. Rockers are more ergonomic and easier to use, especially if you carrying an infant.
Stair Treads
If you have newly polished hardwood stairs, it’s a good idea to put down some non-slip carpet treads. This will help with traction, especially with elderlies and kids.
Night Lights
Installing night lights will help folks see better in the middle of the night. They’re inexpensive and super easy to set up.
Grab Bar Fixtures
Finally, if you have adults who are at risk of falling, you can install these grab bars that doubles as a toilet paper holder.
