"At REAL SIMPLE, we strive to bring women sustainable solutions to make their lives easier," said Leslie Yazel, Editor-in-Chief of REAL SIMPLE. "We're thrilled to launch the first-ever idea home that brings to life the REAL SIMPLE Method, which combines making spaces beautiful and functional, without sacrificing one for the other."
Aligned with the REAL SIMPLE Method, each room—bathroom, kitchen, master bedroom, laundry room, and more— will demonstrate how to implement a lasting structure for maximum organization and beautiful design. The brand will also launch the REAL SIMPLE Home app on September 21 that will allow users to click to buy products that are featured in the home.
"An idea home is a natural brand extension for REAL SIMPLE, a leader in home and organizing content," said Daren Mazzucca, Publisher of REAL SIMPLE. "The REAL SIMPLE Home will showcase the best products, methods and tips for an organized space, and we're excited to give our sponsors access to this new program through the apartment and app."
There are currently six sponsors to date whose products will be included within the idea home: Arm & Hammer, Garnier, Lutron, Minted, Mrs. Meyers, and Sherwin-Williams, with additional support from Circa Lighting, Garnet Hill, Homepolish, Joss & Main, Living Spaces, and The Shade Store.
As part of this launch, REAL SIMPLE is partnering with Win, the largest provider of shelter and permanent supportive housing for NYC's homeless families, to raise awareness for the organization.
