8 Kid-Friendly Homeware Décor Pieces

The moment your baby starts to crawl and climb, is the time to put away those home décor pieces you’d hate to see smashed or broken. Of course, it’s also important to teach our kids not to touch special items in the house and in other people’s homes too.  But, if you have a heirloom vase that has been passed down the generations, you may choose to put it away out of reach to ensure it can indeed be passed down to the next generation.

Once your home is cleared of valuable décor pieces, it can look a bit bare. But just because you have young kids, doesn’t mean you can’t decorate your home stylishly. We’ve sourced 8 kid friendly homeware décor pieces that will modernize your home without breaking the bank. Not all homewares are safe for kids, but we do know if they go to reach these items, the chances of them breaking are much less than more fragile décor pieces.
