Pet-Friendly Design Features for your Home

Our four-legged friends are our loyal companions who love us unconditionally and bring us peace and comfort at home. If you are going to share a home with a pet, you need to consider their needs. That is why pet owners should consider a range of pet-friendly design features. Read on to learn about some of the top design features for homes with pets.

4 Pet-Friendly Design Features

1. Corner Spaces

Even pets need a little space of their own. Find a corner of your bedroom or living room to turn it into a space for your pet. Make it comfortable so they can have a place to relax.

2. Furniture

All pet owners understand how much their furry friends enjoy spending time on the couch or chairs. With the right furniture, you can have fewer problems with pet fur on the covers.

Choose colors that hide your pet’s shedding hair or any other stains. You can use colors matching the pet’s fur, multi-colors, or grey tones to hide hair or stains. There are also tools you can buy to protect your furniture.

Go for washable fabric or leather when it comes to material. There are numerous other fabrics to consider; read “5 Great Pet-Friendly Fabrics for Your Home” for more ideas!

3. Storage

Your little buddies are similar to children who enjoy toys and accessories. And, of course, no one likes toys all over the place. Create a separate storage area for the toys and accessories. You can build an open storage area where your little toy lover can pick up their favorite toy. In that case, remember to keep the height consistent with your pet’s size. You could also consider special storage near the door for walking/outdoor accessories. It will make it easier to walk your dog if everything is right there and ready to go. Another idea is to have special storage for all the food and feeding supplies.

4. A Small Bathing Station

A pet bathing station can be another excellent pet-friendly design feature. You could make a small stall that is easy for them to enter and exit. This feature can take much of the hassle out of bathing your pets.
