10 HAWAII RENOVATION DECEMBER 26, 2021
Discover creative design tips for your home
BY CAROLINE WRIGHT
Great modern resi- dential design pays attention to aesthet-
ics, functionality, uniqueness — and easy maintenance.
“There are a number of ways in which a home’s de- sign can specifically reduce cleaning and maintenance — or make those tasks easier for homeowners,” says Malia Yee of Graham Builders.
As senior designer for the Honolulu design/build firm, Yee offers a few thoughts on how design can make up- keep exponentially simpler.
PLANNING FOR EASY UPKEEP
For starters, one-story homes are simpler to main- tain.
“It’s easier to clean win- dows, clean gutters and paint or pressure wash the exteriors,” Yee shares.
Walk-in pantries, gener- ous linen closets and des- ignated areas for brooms, mops and vacuums are also great options, she adds.
“Adequate storage can prevent clutter on counter- tops and other areas that tend to collect stuff and make them harder to clean.”
