It is worth buying a dark glossy headset only if you are ready to become a slave to cleaning or, if you can close your eyes to everything and accept the thought that it will no longer be as glossy and shiny as in the first weeks never. No, we agree, dark glossy facades look luxurious, but they are completely unsuitable for everyday life. Just imagine, your every touch will remain an imprint on the door, splashes of grease will turn into white smudges, and drops of water will turn into cloudy stains. And you can also see with your own eyes how quickly dust appears in your apartment, and it, believe me, appears very quickly.

The absence of a door makes the kitchen more modern and spacious. Moreover, sometimes the absence of a wall and a doorway is a necessary measure to which one has to adapt. It is worth noting that adjusting can be very difficult. If you seriously intend to abandon the door, ask yourself if you are ready to fall asleep to the smell of fish or fried potatoes, to work with the clink of washable dishes or a frying pan. And also get ready for the fact that in winter it will become cooler in your apartment, because it is easier to heat and keep warm in a small area than in a large one.

3. Sink by the window

According to Novate.ru, the idea of ​​installing a kitchen sink by the window cannot be called a complete failure, because such an arrangement has undeniable advantages. For example, looking out the window while rubbing the dishes is much more pleasant than staring at the wall; in the daytime you get a source of good, natural light and save space. Sounds like a viable idea, but there are some downsides. One of the main ones is the always dirty window. Plus, in order to move the sink to the window, you need to significantly change communications - this is money and risks. Well, and finally, you can't hang a dryer over such a sink, you have to install it on the side, which may not be very convenient.

4. Glass table

Glass furniture is certainly beautiful and also looks much lighter than other materials. But a glass table in the kitchen is far from the most practical idea. Firstly, the glass surface is easy to damage: knife scratches, chips from impacts from heavy dishes, minor abrasions, and so on. Secondly, stains on the glass are much more noticeable, and stains are always left from a wet cloth. And finally, there are cases when the countertop cracked from contact with hot dishes, despite the fact that the material is hardened.

5. Open shelves
