Apartment dweller documenting footprints, storage depth, and stain behavior to help bouncers live quietly in adult spaces.

Good design is quiet, easy to stash, and easy to wipe.

Our studio had one hallway wide enough for a desk chair or a bouncer—never both. I taped a slim parking spot on the wall, ran tomato‑sauce stain tests on swatches, and listened for squeaks on calls. The keeper slid behind a plant, wiped clean, and didn’t announce itself.
