For many, if not all, apartment owners, it is important that every detail in their home looks aesthetically pleasing and, in addition, fits harmoniously into the surrounding environment.
However, designer Yulia Tychino, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, warns: you shouldn’t sacrifice functionality and practicality for a beautiful appearance.
This rule is especially relevant when it comes to the doormat, because it is this interior element that is responsible for the cleanliness of the entire apartment.
The expert advises to abandon standard models. Instead, buy a high rubber mat.
Despite his, frankly speaking, not the most stylish appearance, he should be awarded the highest marks for the performance of his direct duties.
If it's wet outside and you come home with mud stuck to your shoes, it's important not only to scrape it off the soles, but also to make sure that the debris doesn't end up outside the hallway.
If you have a regular rug in your hallway, it means that dried soil will spread throughout the entire apartment at incredible speed, adding to your daily cleaning hassle.
On the contrary, a deep rubber product “collects” sand and other dirt into the protrusions, from where it will not go anywhere until the moment you start cleaning the floor in the hallway.
