Unique Solutions for Babyproofing Open-Concept Homes
The above list highlights products made specifically for babyproofing, but there are lots of other options available to help make your home safer for little ones. You can create smaller doorways by mounting bookshelves to walls, which can serve as additional storage while also defining the space in your home. Baby gates with tension extenders can then be used between the bookshelves to create a barrier between rooms. Barn door tracks on the ceilings paired with bifold doors let you create impromptu moveable walls, which are great for keeping the kitchen/dining room separate from the living room. More permanent solutions like these can even add to your décor theme. You can work with a contractor to come up with different ideas to make your open-concept home more family-friendly or you can set up DIY projects to both update and babyproof the space.
You may find that you need to try a few different babyproofing solutions before you find the perfect setup for your little one. Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box and get creative. Babyproofing a home with an open floor plan can be a challenge, but it’s not impossible.
