It seems difficult to find a person who would be delighted by the thought that it is time to tidy up the house.

Rather, the opposite is true – most of us try to put off such a procedure as cleaning until later.

A properly selected interior can help with this: just follow the advice of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , and you will have to pick up a dust rag and mop much less often.

Style

Remember, classic and decorative styles with their stucco, moldings, heavy curtains and other accessories are not for you. To make cleaning as time-consuming as possible, opt for minimalism.

To reduce the need to dust, it is worth giving up open shelves. Built-in cabinets will help you out, including kitchen cabinets, which occupy the entire space from floor to ceiling and from wall to wall.

Matte or glossy?

It is believed that matte kitchen fronts are much more practical than glossy ones, and this rule applies until we talk about black color - fingerprints are more visible on it than on any gloss.

Don't be shy about touching the samples on display in the store and trying to remove marks from them.

A few more words about the kitchen

If you decide to update your stove, oven, microwave and other appliances, pay attention to the color of the metal - it is considered the most practical. If we talk about the countertop - the easiest to care for is the one made of acrylic stone or agglomerate. Small tiles and mosaics on the apron - no right away, instead install an apron made of large-format porcelain stoneware or any monolithic one.
