#2: Low-maintenance finishes like laminate
Wondering why your weekends get over so fast? It’s probably because you’re busy cleaning your furniture! Priya and Suresh, a young couple from Chennai, wanted a home where they could relax after a long day without worrying about maintenance. So how did we do it? With laminate! Laminate is one such furniture finish that is very easy to maintain. From their TV unit to their crockery unit and wardrobes, everything was done up in laminate.

#5: Ensure cabinets are soft close and opt for roller shutters
If you’re looking for home maintenance tips, the kitchen is one place that you must focus on. Tight drawers that refuse to open fail to make your home low-maintenance. Knowing this, Pragnya opted for soft-close shutters in her kitchen. This is especially helpful when you have elders using your kitchen. Roller shutters and soft close cabinets do not get jammed, thus being very easy to maintain.
