What are some suggestions for decorating and designing when the homeowner has terrible allergies to dust? What materials can help cut down on dust. The house has wood floors, no rugs, leather furniture and washable curtains and levolor shades. Thank you.

Honestly, you cannot rid your house of dust with decorating. You can certainly go totally minimal, and keep it clean all the time. I read that most dust is 70% dead skin cells (ACK!) so cleaning with a Hepa Filter Vaccuume and washing your bed linens often helps. Also a whole room or whole house air/Hepa filter.
