Move all breakables out of the way
Make yourself room (push furniture up against the walls)
Fit flush lighting so you dont break shades or bulbs
Don't light fire poi indoors (for obvious reasons)
Dodge the kids and pets

Have I forgotten anything?

Be aware and at one with your surroundings at all times...

spin slower...

don't get too lost in your spinning that you forget to do important things, like make and drink some tea, cook and/or eat dinner, sleep, etc...

Watch your planes!

cover your wicks? cleaning soot off walls, floors, ceilings & furniture isn't fun.
also, I've got bits of tennis ball fluff from my practice rope-dart stuck to my ceiling

make sure windows are closed! I've come so close to accidently throwing sock poi out of a fourth floor window onto the street/into a canal several times!
