To avoid calling your home a “granny style,” you’ll have to get rid of some things and furniture, or at least modernize them.

Kitchen corner

However, nowadays stores offer a wide range of tables and chairs of different sizes, and instead of choosing massive wooden models, it is worth looking for neater and airier options that may take up more space than a kitchen corner, but allow you to easily transform the dining area and change its location as needed.

Covers for sofas and armchairs

Today, you can do without such textile accessories. There are many cleaning and washing agents that can quickly remove stains from upholstery. You can also contact specialized cleaning companies that will professionally clean your furniture.
