A white sofa might seem foolhardy for a house with pets-the potential stains! The hair! But Brigette Romanek, whose star-studded client list includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyoncé, and Demi Moore, swears that with a realistic attitude and smart material choices, even a white sofa can be feasible. "Designing with pets is all about the dance of being able to live comfortably in your home without being too worried all the time," she says. It's important to think about your decorating choices with these factors in mind: How much are you willing to train your pets (not to chew the rug fringe, for example)? How attached are you to the things you put in your home? And how easily can you clean or replace them if they get damaged? Here are some of Brigette's strategies for decorating homes with pets.
