Ideas for a low-maintenance house

But you have to vacuum both, and depending on the device/robot, it's easier on smooth floors

A smooth floor in the sleeping area, for example, leads more to dust bunnies.

I know about the dust bunnies on laminate. On vinyl, it seems like there aren't any dust bunnies at all. Haven't seen any in this apartment for years.

And I do think you have to clean grout on tiles.

And I also want to take the tip about the towel radiators to heart.

Sure, you never get around to cleaning. But I like simplifications. For example, I have a rather expensive Xiaomi robot vacuum, which hardly runs in this apartment because beforehand I would have to move all sorts of things up and out of the way for half an hour. It doesn’t fit under the sofa either. And I do care about how it looks behind the sofa. And always cleaning behind and under the sofa is annoying. That’s why the next sofa will definitely be on stilts.

I also prefer to live minimally. That’s why I have very little decoration. Less is more. It was funny when a visitor thought I had just moved in because everything was so clean. But the apartment had been fully furnished for months. Having less frees me.

If slaughterhouse character refers to little decoration, then I don’t see it that way. I think it’s nice when everything has its place. You can also make it cozier with wall colors, pictures, and a few selected decorative objects. But of course, it does seem a bit cooler. But I love it.
