A lot of my clients have young children and they don’t want a very expensive sofa that they can’t sit in because it’s white and they’re afraid they’re going to stain it.
Or they don’t want a chair upholstered in a silk brocade as it is not only expensive, but it might break if you jump on it or it could potentially be stained with one jelly hand.
Most of my clients want something that’s beautiful but livable. And so for me, that’s really important.
How do I do it, when small children are involved? Performance fabric, solid construction (after all kids are hard on furniture) and patterns that help hide an occasional spill. That and stain treating.
Oh and by the way...If it looks "precious" it probably is.
