- Wall coverings: The professional stresses that, "covering the wall of the service area is important, because it facilitates maintenance", and indicates especially for the wall of the tank, where there is more water splashing, and the walls that circulate in the space.
- Take advantage of vertical space: "Overhead cabinets are a great way to store cleaning products", she points out. Niches and shelves, "are practical, because there are items that are used daily and can be exposed", and adds, "use and abuse of organizer boxes".
- Cabinets: If space allows, cabinets are ideal for storing brooms, ladders, ironing boards, and squeegees. This way you optimize space and keep the environment in order.
- Flexible faucet: "There are flexible faucet models - like a hose - that make washing items much easier and avoid the common problem of the bucket not fitting under the faucet," Stephanie explains.
- Panels for hiding objects: for items you don't like the look of, such as gas heaters, the architect says, "it is possible to create a slatted panel to disguise the equipment, as long as you maintain good permanent ventilation." But she asks for attention, "never can the heater be built into a cabinet for risk of explosion."
