But few people stop to think how practical it actually is in the long-run – especially when it comes to cleaning.
A professional cleaner, who is from Australia and posts to TikTok under the acronym @thebigcleanco, has shared a video revealing the six things she advises all homeowners to avoid if they can.
In the clip, she begins by urging people to never install blinds with small slats because they just collect the dust.
Next in the firing line is square sinks.
"Those corners are so annoying to clean," she warns.
