- Prioritize small, subtle touch-ups for paint repairs to avoid
noticeable mismatches, and consider using a magic eraser for minor
scuffs.

and using inspiration images to visually align preferences.
- Select quartz countertops with a simple design and glossy finish
to ensure durability and ease of maintenance while avoiding trendy
patterns.
