BUYING TIPS FOR EASY CLEANUP
If you already know the style,
layout, and color scheme of your new kitchen, it's time to start shopping.
Before buying anything, however, make sure you know the dimensions of each
product you will buy. Having this information handy when you begin
shopping can save you the aggravation of discovering you've ordered
something that does not fit into your kitchen.

Buying Tips for Easy Cleanup
Americans lead incredibly busy lifestyles. A large portion of us
work more than eight hours each day and spend considerable time commuting.
We also have to set time aside for eating, paying the bills, maintaining
healthy family and social lives, and after all that, we must clean up after
ourselves. We really only have a few hours of free time before we go
to bed, if that much. Many people end up sacrificing something in that
schedule in order to free up time. Cleaning is a common casualty.
Of course, we can't give up cleaning altogether, but by decorating a certain
way, you can reduce the time you spend dusting, scrubbing, and maintaining
your home.
-
Buy colors that are neither too
light nor too dark. White appliances and accessories demand constant
attention. You must always wash white furnishings in order to avoid and blemishes. White highlights all spillages and
imperfections. Dark things, on the other hand, make dust more visible.
If your dining room table has a dark wood finish, you might have noticed how
often it needs dusting. When light shines on a dark surface, all the
dust reflects the light.
-
If you're going to buy stainless
steel appliances, countertops, or other accessories, go for either brushed
or matte finish. Mirror finished stainless steel will show smudges,
fingerprints, and any number of other imperfections that can be noticed.
Because matte finished stainless steel is dull, it actually hides a lot.
-
Purchase
kitchen islands,
workstations, and hutches that have plenty of drawers and doors. This
will reduce clutter and make cleanup a breeze. All those loose papers
and thingamajigs you're not quite sure where to put but don't want to throw
away can be tucked away in a drawer whenever people come over. If you're guests can't see it, it's not
really there!
-
If you need a hanging light over a
kitchen island or dinner table, opt for a simple design rather than a
chandelier. Most chandeliers are made of shiny metal or crystal, which
means that all smudge marks become very prominent. They also have
lots of curves and knobs that make cleaning difficult. By opting for
recessed lighting or very simple hanging lights, you either eliminate the
need to dust altogether or greatly reduce cleaning time. Dimmer switches
are heaven-sent for people who don't have the time to dust or clean.
-
Upholstery and countertop patterns
help conceal stains and imperfections. Whenever something consists of
many different shades and colors, blemishes tend to blend in with the
pattern. Flecked or granite patterns do an especially good job of
hiding stains and spots. BACK TO TOP
