here's the problem
You finish a project beautifully.
Months later,
the questions start.
- “What cleaner should we use on the stone?”
- “Why does the upholstery look worn already?”
- “Is this normal for the cabinetry?”
You didn’t do anything wrong.
Your client just doesn’t know how to care for what they invested in.
Without clear guidance, small maintenance issues turn into frustration, blame, and unnecessary stress.
the solution
not to mention the hours of time you'll save by having a ready-t0-use manual.
Give your clients a clear, professional care guide they can reference anytime.
The Interior Design Comprehensive Client Product Care & Maintenance Manual walks clients through how to properly care for the materials, finishes, and systems in their home so your work stays beautiful and your boundaries stay intact.
I created this manual using the same structure and documentation we use in my own design firm.
It’s designed to be:
• Clear for clients
• Easy for designers to customize
• Professional enough to elevate your entire process
You don’t need to reinvent this. You just need to use it.
