Fortunately we bought this house having flat front “a contemporary design” kitchen cabs, and you are exactly right. They are awesome. Easy to clean,and kinda like more of a spring cleaning task, than an every week thing chore.
Yep, love my shaker cabinets , but you are so right about the dust on that little ledge. Don’t laugh but I use my blow dryer to get it out. Whatever works…
yes about shaker cabinets so how do I get cabinets that have some interest I hate flat panel look but I hate cleaning WHAT IS A SOLUTION????? Pretty please answer me. I love grooves and interest. .I hate modern look but I don't know what to do about corners?
You know what I’ve realized without wanting to stereotype a class… is men who design spaces don’t often think about the cleaning aspect. I can typically tell when a man has designed a space, because it’s often not user friendly, like kitchens and bathrooms. Of course this is my opinion and it doesn’t include “all” men, but, for sure, it’s a majority. Today frontless cabinets: or open shelves are all the rage, and although they look really cool, they are dust traps, and cause me the most headaches. On flooring: I noticed after we put porcelain tile “the big ones” in our bathroom, is how forgiving they are in regard to user friendly. One thing to note: just because you can’t see the dirt and dust doesn’t mean it’s still not there, but at least with these types of tile you aren’t feeling so gross, and aren’t reminded everyday you need to get on it. Like with my semi glossy wood floors, which are beautiful, but if I don’t dust them everyday, Im grossed out. No one seems to think about wide borders, on floor trims, or wall applications, and especially the beveled ones, or the squared edged ones for their dust collecting ability. I think before anyone is allowed to design a house interior and, or exterior they should be required to clean a house for a year.😊 I remember when we had our wood floors put in, my neighbor, 75 year old man, said let know how you like them in a year, and I thought he was being rude, but now I know, he knew what he was talking about, because we live in an area that can get a lot wind, and the dust can get unbearable. Thanks for your content.
What do you recommend instead of marble? I have Quartz and I hate it. It has already chipped and it does stain if you are not careful. What do you think of quartzite? and do they have any granites that are light colored?? i know too many questions. lol
Love your updated hair look!
Very useful thank you 🙏

Love this!
Great tips! I need easy cleaning for my kids! I like black fixtures but now I’m thinking otherwise.
Thank you!! And❤Marble is a B!

OMG love that tip! I need dryer sheets helps keep the dust down too. Have to try that as well :)
I use it too to clean fast under things like de fridge. 😅
Great video thanks. I have super matt wall painting low grade - builder’s choice, it thought me how to paint.
Love the honesty.
No matt painting at all- I'm loving low walls & low flooring.
What are your thoughts on chrome plumbing fixtures?

Granite does have lighter colors, but it requires sealing. You can look into meganit. They have some that look like marble :)
@@InteriorDesignHub Thanks so much!
Silestone
What finish would you recommend for hardwood floors, matte or satin?
Matte is beautiful for you'll see everything....so opt for a satin
So you recommend satin because matte is going to be over used?
Now I understand, matte will show everything on my floors, so use satin.
