On the Internet you can find a lot of ideas that, it would seem, can be used when decorating your apartment.
However, some of them, according to designer Yulia Tychino , an expert from the online publication BelNovosti, may be unsafe.
Below you will find a detailed list of interior design solutions that you should avoid if you do not want to harm yourself.
Candles
What could be more romantic than a candlelit dinner? However, when lighting the wick, do not forget that you have to deal with a source of fire, which, if handled carelessly, can lead to a fire.
Painting above the bed
Pictures that are not securely attached to the wall can fall at any moment. The same applies to mirrors, which can often be seen above the headboard. If you don’t want to feel a blow to the head in your sleep, use nails instead of tape, and it’s better if they are driven into the wall at an angle of 45 degrees.
Carpet
It would seem that there is nothing dangerous about a carpet. But statistics say that very often people (especially the elderly) get injured by tripping over a bent corner of a carpet or slipping on a floor covering that slides along the floor. There is only one way out - get carpets with an anti-slip coating.
Windows
Of course, wide-open windows are dangerous, as they act as magnets for children and pets. If you have someone in your family who is in this category, get window locks and strong bars.
Vase
Here the danger threatens the same little ones and our smaller brothers, who can easily break a fragile product and get hurt by the shards. To prevent this from happening, put the vases away from harm's way.
