Do you browse through interior designer show houses, magazines or books, love what you see, but know in your heart that your family (or pets) would ruin these highly- styled rooms in a matter of minutes or days? I started Designing Solutions, an interior design firm that specializes in real life, pet-friendly, family-friendly design. Our clients include high-powered DC-area families and budget conscious couples who share a common goal: they want their homes to be beautiful, comfortable and hold up to the way they really live.What makes Designing Solutions different?First, our elegant interior decorating style is influenced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in that it is carefully thought out to survive whatever life throws at it, including incontinent pets, food fights between siblings, vomiting babies and extremely sloppy spouses (here I really mean husbands) who leave tomato sauce spots from pizza on the arms of the sofa. I know this because these people are our clients and I've been researching fabrics, flooring, furniture and window treatments that are fuss-free, resilient, stylish and provide lasting value.My basic guiding philosophy is simple - you shouldn’t have to work at keeping your home stylish and comfortable. Your home should work for you. No matter what interior style you prefer or which colors you use, your home should be easy to maintain, easy to keep clean, easy to keep looking great and always comfortable, with little effort involved. I chose this philosophy out of necessity- you see I married a slob, then had two boys, and learned the hard way that working to keep the pillows fluffed, the draperies primped, the sofa safe from spills and stains and the lampshades straight and free of fingerprints is futile. It's much less stressful and far more economical to make design choices that require no protection from the people (or pets) who live in your home.
