Home Safety Series: Part 3 - The Living Room & Hallways
Shwmae! Welcome back to our Home Safety Series at Bush Healthcare, where we’re all about making your home a safer, more welcoming place. After transforming bathrooms into safe sanctuaries in Part 1 and creating restful bedrooms in Part 2, we’re now stepping into the heart of your home: the living room and hallways. These spaces are where you relax, connect with loved ones, and move through your daily routines, but for those with mobility challenges, they can present hidden hazards. No worries – with a few thoughtful tweaks and our trusted mobility aids, we’ll help you craft a living room and hallways that feel open, secure, and oh-so-comfortable. Let’s dive in!
Why Focus on Living Room and Hallway Safety?
Your living room is the hub of relaxation and social time – think cosy movie nights or chats with friends – while hallways are the vital pathways connecting every part of your home. For anyone with limited mobility, arthritis, or balance concerns, these areas can pose risks like trip hazards, cramped spaces, or difficulty transitioning from sitting to standing. At Bush Healthcare, we’ve spent over 40 years helping South Wales families create accessible homes, and we’re passionate about ensuring your living spaces support your independence. With solutions like our handcrafted Castle Range riser recliner chairs and practical mobility aids, we’ll show you how to make these areas safe and stylish, so you can focus on enjoying life.
Practical Steps to Enhance Safety in Your Living Room and Hallways
Drawing on our expertise and wide range of products, here are some tailored tips to boost safety and accessibility in your living room and hallways – all designed to keep your home warm and welcoming.



Relax with Ease Using Riser Recliner Chairs
Our Castle Range riser recliner chairs, handcrafted by Motion Furniture right here in Aberdare, are designed to make sitting and standing effortless. These electric chairs gently lift or recline to your perfect position, reducing strain on joints and boosting confidence. Available in various sizes, fabrics, and motor options, they’re as stylish as they are functional – perfect for blending into your living room décor. Pop into one of our South Wales stores to try them out for yourself – it’s a hands-on experience! Explore the full range on our Riser Recliner Chairs page.
Clear Pathways to Move Freely
A clutter-free living room and hallway make all the difference. Loose rugs, cables, or misplaced furniture can be trip hazards, especially in high-traffic areas. Clear these away and consider non-slip runners for hallways to add grip without sacrificing style. A simple reorganisation can transform your home into a safer, more navigable space.
Boost Mobility with Walking Aids
Navigating hallways or moving from the living room to other areas is easier with the right support. A simple or stylish rollator could help wonders! Our Space LX Art Line Rollator, recently highlighted on our blog for its sleek design and sturdy build, offers reliable stability for indoor and outdoor use. For shorter distances, our range of walking sticks provides a simple, elegant solution. Check out these aids on our Mobility Aids page or visit a showroom to find the perfect fit.
Brighten Your Space with Smart Lighting
Good lighting is a game-changer for safety. Dimly lit living rooms or hallways can make it hard to spot obstacles, especially at night. Add bright, accessible lamps in your living room for reading or relaxing, and consider motion-sensor lights in hallways to guide your steps without fumbling for switches.
Consider Stairlifts for Multi-Level Homes
If your hallways lead to stairs, our stairlift solutions can make multi-level living safe and seamless. Custom-fitted to straight or curved staircases, our stairlifts glide smoothly, offering independence for those who find stairs challenging. Available to explore in our South Wales showrooms, they’re a practical addition for homes with upper floors or basements. Learn more on our Stairlifts page.
