Jun 09, 2025•30 min•Season 10Ep. 22
Episode description
We all love a clean home but I don't know anyone who has the time to spend hours cleaning.
The trick is to design your home with easy maintenance in mind, unless of course you love to clean. Gil Olachea, owner of Ceramica, joins me in the topic of high design vs low maintenance.
We will give you ideas on what to substitute for the following high maintenance items:
- Crystal and ornate chandeliers
- High maintenance furniture
- Open shelving
- Cabinets not going to the ceiling
- Complex tile patterns
- Difficult to clean plumbing fixtures
- Porous countertop materials
- High gloss cabinetry
- Gas stoves
- Porous, rough-surfaced tiles
