Home/Living Room
Living Room
Space to play. Freedom from hazards.
The living room is where SEN children spend much of their time — and where furniture corners, unstable shelves, and unsecured TVs cause the most everyday injuries. These products create a safer play space without making the room feel clinical.
Key Safety Considerations
- 1Strap all freestanding furniture (bookshelves, TV units, wardrobes) to the wall — climbing is a common sensory-seeking behaviour and even heavy units can tip.
- 2Remove or pad hard-edge coffee tables if your child runs, jumps, or loses balance frequently. Round or upholstered alternatives are a permanent solution.
- 3Cover all accessible sockets and use cable management to eliminate trailing wires that can be pulled, chewed, or tripped on.
Recommended Products
Soft Corner and Edge Guards
High-density foam pads cushion sharp furniture corners and edges, reducing injury risk for children with reduced pain sensitivity, poor proprioception, or balance difficulties who run and tumble indoors.
Anti-Tip TV and Furniture Safety Strap
Anchors flat-screen TVs and tall furniture to the wall stud, preventing tip-over during climbing — one of the leading causes of serious head injuries in children under eight.
Foam Door Slam Guard
Wraps around the door edge and latch to stop doors closing fully, protecting fingers during meltdowns or sensory-driven door-slamming behaviours common in autism and PDA profiles.
Cable Management Raceway Kit
Channels all trailing cables flush to the skirting board behind a snap-shut plastic cover, eliminating the chewing, pulling, and tripping risk that loose cables create for children with oral sensory needs.
