KEY TO YOUR HOME 2020

KEY TOYOUR HOME / 25 Bedroom Don’t over-fill a bedroom with too many furniture. This is a place for rest, after all. Make sure you have space to climb into bed from both sides. Consider “warmer” flooring options for the bedroom. Wood-like textures are great to feel beneath your feet when you first step out of bed. Alternatively, having a carpet next to the bed works as well. Install electric power points in areas where you know you’ll need to plug in electronics, whether it’s a bedside table or a phone charger. When placing your wardrobe, make sure you have enough space to open the doors. Alternatively, sliding doors can work as well. Bathrooms Make sure that every furniture or built- in is water-proof. You don’t want mould or rust to form in the bathroom. A shower stall helps keep the bathroom dry by preventing spills and splashes from going everywhere. Ventilation is important in the bathroom. In such a small space, constant humidity may encourage mildew and bacteria growth. If the tiny windows aren’t enough, consider installing ventilation fans to keep the air fresh. Choose floor tiles that are slip-proof to prevent accidents. If you have children or elderly staying with you, install handlebars and grips for safey.
