Arrol Gellner: Popular design choices to avoid
25.09.11
Last in the good old days b simultaneously, I invoked Henry David Thoreau — “Explain, simplify!” — to buttress my contention that the best destine choice is usually the simplest one that does the job. Yet things put in an appearance to be going in the other direction. Following are some currently popular envisage choices that needlessly complicate our homes:
Glass torrent enclosures have become the default standard in bathrooms these days, showing up in every trendoid enterprise magazine, invariably looking dazzling and pristine. Such adoring coverage might possibility you to believe that shower curtains don't even exist anymore.
What's deficient with glass enclosures? First off, compared to the alternative — our old colleague, the shower curtain — they're astronomically expensive. They're also a veritable headache to maintain, since those crystal-clear panes make constant cleaning to maintain that coveted magazine-spread cheer. Lastly, they unnecessarily clutter up what is already a modestly sized apartment.
A $10 shower curtain, on the other hand, stops be unfeasible just as well and can be drawn back to virtually disappear from the scene. Nor is there any slavish constantly cleaning required. When a shower curtain gets objectionably scuzzy, you can unreservedly replace it and recycle the old one as a drop cloth.
