Low-Maintenance Decor Choices for Busy Households

Busy households benefit from decor decisions that reduce upkeep, without the space feeling sparse or impersonal.

Hard Surfaces Over Delicate Ones

Stone, laminate, and sealed wood surfaces handle daily wear and quick cleaning far better than delicate or porous materials.

Pattern Hides More Than Plain

Subtle patterns on upholstery and rugs disguise minor marks between cleans more effectively than solid, light-coloured fabric.

Fewer, Sturdier Plants

Low-maintenance plants in sturdy pots add life to a space without the ongoing care — or mess — that more delicate varieties demand.
