The Most Important Places to Declutter for a Safer Home
Not every area of the home presents the same level of risk. Some spaces deserve extra attention.
🚪 Entryways
Keep shoes, bags, packages, and other objects away from the entrance and walking path.
🛋️ Living Rooms
Arrange furniture so there is enough room to walk comfortably without squeezing between chairs or tables.
🍳 Kitchens
Keep frequently used items within easy reach. Avoid storing heavy objects on high shelves where reaching or climbing may be necessary.
🛁 Bathrooms
Keep floors dry and remove unnecessary items from around the toilet, shower, and sink. Make sure commonly used pathways remain clear.
🛏️ Bedrooms
Keep the path from the bed to the bathroom or doorway free of obstacles. A nightlight can also make nighttime movement safer.
