- Use a neutral wall color to create a cohesive look in open
spaces, especially when working with vibrant rugs and colorful
sofas.
- To avoid shiny spots when using a Magic Eraser, dampen it lightly
and use a feather-light touch on scuff marks.
- When preparing a home for sale, consider subtle thematic touches
that align with the local market and the type of residence, whether
it's a primary or secondary home.
