prove costly and beyond the skillset of owners.
The design of your interior plays a role in
maintenance time, as well. Simplifying design
elements can result in easy to clean areas, while
plentiful storage options can declutter a home of
dust-gathering items, again saving on cleaning.
And the size of your home is important, too.
Often New Zealanders want the largest home
possible. However, well-designed smaller homes
can offer maximum required functionality with
minimal upkeep and will save money too.
The landscaping of a home can add value
and aesthetic appeal. But at the same time, large
sections with beautiful landscaping often translate
into weekends dedicated to gardening. Smart
choices of lawn types, paths, and features, along
with the right decking and plant species help
ensure a garden stays beautiful with less input.
