Beyond Babyproofing: High Regard for Breakables and Fragile Decor


Beyond Babyproofing: High Regard for Breakables and Fragile Decor

As infants "morph" into toddlers another metamorphosis happens in the home… decorative accents -- all those things that personalize home -- disappear from sight! The move begins at the coffee table level, then progresses to end tables and shelves, until every piece of breakable or semi-dangerous décor is stacked precariously on the top of the entertainment center.

So What's a Style-Conscious Parent To Do?
For the first few years, breakable accents don't have much place in tabletop decorating. But you don't have to hide away your favorite pieces -- just do a little decorative reengineering. Look to your tall shelf units, entertainment center and fireplace mantle to create interesting displays at higher levels using your more fragile pieces. Use the lower shelf levels and tabletops to display more durable, kid-friendly décor.

If out-of-reach display space is lacking, consider installing a few ledge-style shelves directly to the wall or even over a window. Further protect fragile items by securing them to shelf surfaces using Quake Hold Putty or Museum Gel. This removable and reusable adhesive can help protect items from tips and falls caused by bumping or jarring the table, wall or shelf unit on which they sit. Quake Hold Putty and Museum Gel also help protect items from damage during cleaning.
