There’s an undeniable magic the day after a design reveal. You walk into your freshly styled home and feel a mix of elation and calm. Your space reflects you in ways you never imagined possible. But then, the excitement of “What if I spill on the rug?” or “How do I keep it this perfect?” creeps in. Breathe easy—maintaining your designer look post-move-in can be effortless with the right approach. Here are three expert tips to keep your space feeling curated, stylish, and perfect for years to come.
Stick to Our Simple Styling Rules Post-Reveal
The secret to a lasting designer look post-reveal? Simplicity and intention.
- Clutter has a home – Designate a beautiful bin or basket for loose items that pop up during the week. Schedule regular sessions for sorting and organizing.
- Balance the new with the old – If you’re adding a new piece, play a game of subtraction. Swap or remove items to prevent over-crowding.
- Tackle space creep – Over time, papers pile, accessories multiply, and surfaces clutter. A simple weekly reset—clearing counters, folding throws, and fluffing pillows—can make all the difference.
The mantra here is easy-to-follow habits. Thoughtful upkeep means you’ll fall in love with your space every single day.
Commit to Our Common Cleaning Tips
Beautiful homes deserve beautiful care. From brushed nickel to performance fabrics, here’s how to keep each detail pristine.
- Metals – Use a soft cloth and mild cleaner for brushed nickel and stainless steel. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull their luster.
- Stone surfaces – Cement, marble, and tile love gentle cleaning solutions and immediate spill blotting—no harsh scrubbing here!
- Wood – A simple microfiber dusting weekly with Endust polish (it doesn’t leave a waxy build-up), works wonders.
- Fabrics – Spot-clean performance fabrics promptly, and always consult care guides (hint: we’ve already provided those in your project binder!).
These small, consistent efforts help your materials age gracefully, ensuring that designer feel lasts.
