Safe Space in a Child's Room: Installing Wall Shelves with Comfort and Safety in Mind

A child's room is a place where the little one spends a lot of time, discovering the world and developing their skills. When creating this space, it is worth paying attention to various aspects, such as safety and ease of access to various everyday items. One of the elements that can affect the comfort and organization of a child's room are wall shelves. How to properly install them so that they fulfill their function while maintaining the highest level of safety? We're here to help.

Choosing the right furniture and mounting kit for the type of wall

Storage furniture – such as wall shelves – helps to control the chaos that often arises in a child's room. Bellamy shelves are perfect for this purpose, as they not only accommodate toys, books, or other items but also positively influence a child's development by allowing them to organize their space independently.

Our shelves are specially designed according to European standards and safety norms. They are spacious, functional, and can be hung on the wall or near the floor, allowing the child free access.

The first step to take before installing wall shelves is to choose the appropriate mounting kit. Each wall can have a different structure and strength, so it is important to select screws and plugs that will match the material the wall is made of. For a brick or concrete wall, strong anchors or expansion screws are necessary. For plasterboard walls, plugs specifically designed for this type of material will be a better choice.

Within a child's reach – supporting independence

When installing wall shelves in a child's room, it is important that they are adapted to the child's height and abilities. Placing shelves within a child's reach is not only convenient but also supports the development of independence. This allows the child to reach for their favorite books, toys, or school supplies themselves. This is an excellent way to encourage the child to organize their space independently.

Avoid placing large shelves above the crib

While wall shelves are a fantastic way to store various items, there are certain places where they should not be installed. One such place is the area above the crib. Large shelves hung in this area can pose a potential danger in case items fall. It is therefore worth choosing locations that are out of reach of the child's sleeping and resting area.
