When it comes to buying their first house, most newlyweds don’t have future children in mind at the time. When most newlyweds buy a home, children aren’t even a good idea yet. With that being said, there are many things to take into consideration when those dear babies do become a good idea. If you already have a child who is learning to crawl and/or walk, you don’t have to be told how much needs to be done to baby proof your home.
When you first bought your home with large luxury house plans the odds are pretty good that you didn’t think of preparing for those little ones to take over your home entirely. So those two sets of stair cases that you might have are no longer a beautiful entrance way, they are now instead a danger zone. Installing safety gates at the tops and bottoms of each staircase is the only way to keep those precious babies safe. And like it or not you will most likely have to drill into your baseboard and possibly into your banisters. Nowadays however, they do have adapters to allow you to attach the gates to your banisters without having to drill into them.
