How to Childproof Sharp Furniture Corners Easily

By Furniture Direct Malaysia

Sharp corners on coffee tables, dining tables, or TV consoles can be dangerous for toddlers learning to walk. In this guide, we’ll show you how to childproof sharp furniture corners using safe, affordable, and stylish solutions—perfect for Malaysian homes.

1. Use Corner Protectors

The easiest solution is adhesive corner protectors made from soft rubber, silicone, or foam. These are available in clear or coloured versions to match your furniture style. Just stick them onto the sharp edges—no tools required.

2. Install Edge Guards

For long edges (like TV consoles or dining tables), consider installing edge guards. These cover the full length of a table edge and are perfect for active children who love to explore.

3. Choose Rounded Furniture

When buying new furniture, opt for rounded corners. Many modern styles offer soft edges that are naturally safer for kids. Wooden tables with curved designs blend safety with aesthetics.

4. Rearrange Furniture

If childproofing isn’t an option, rearrange sharp furniture away from high-traffic areas or play zones. This simple trick reduces the risk of accidents in compact living rooms or condos.

5. Monitor and Replace Regularly

Over time, adhesive protectors may loosen. Check them regularly and replace worn-out pieces. Choose high-quality brands to ensure long-lasting protection and minimal damage to surfaces.
