Hanging shelves
We’ll be the first to admit that hanging shelves look totally awesome. They’re super-handy too, since they let you keep all sorts of knick-knacks out of the way. Where else are you going to put them? In a box labeled “stuff I have to throw out later” that you keep in the attic for decades?
However, home designers claim that although hanging shelves look nice, maintaining them is a pain in the tuckus. They’re a notorious hotspot for dust, which is nearly impossible to get rid of until you move all of your knick-knacks out of the way. Do yourself a favor and take them all down. You’ll save a ton of time on dusting.
