Hang your flower pots

That’s in addition to those pesky airborne microbes that irritate or infect your airways, which are selflessly absorbed by our green friends. That confirms that plants are a good healthy companion for your kids. However, kids can get tempted to push flower pots or cut plants. So it's best you hang them high up in tall cabinets

Use Smart Shelving

Amongst the most obvious solutions, but still a very good one. Narrow shelving allows for display space and smart storage.

These low profile shelves are a great way to treat colorful books like art and to keep track of your kid's current selection of library books. It's smart in the sense that you neatly arrange their books while making the house more beautiful.
