How To Style Your Home to Keep Your Pet Happy

7

When you share your home with a furry friend, you’ll likely want to put their needs first. After all, they are the apple of your eye, the light of your life, the four-legged companion that gives you unconditional love. For most pet owners, their animal is more like their child, and so deserves to have only the very best. However, ensuring that your pet’s needs are all fulfilled can sometimes come at the cost of your home décor, as you try to make room for their beds, toys, food bowls, litterboxes, etc. Obviously, any pet deserves to be treated with the proper care and attention it deserves, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your interior style. Read on to find out how you can keep your home stylish and pet-friendly at the same time.

Quality Pet Furniture

When you first picture pet furniture, you might imagine garish designs and poor quality that results in the product needing replacing after a few weeks. Fortunately, businesses noticed the gap in the market for luxury pet furniture and got to work, so now, companies like maupets.com can offer all pet owners bespoke furniture that is both practical and tasteful. With specially crafted products designed for dogs and cats, MAU focuses on creating products that are more durable and functional than cheap knockoffs, so your pet can relax in style. They also meet your needs by making their dog and cat beds effortlessly chic, so they can fit seamlessly into any room in your home, without clashing with your décor. 

Pet-Friendly Carpets & Rugs

Having a pet and maintaining a clean carpet doesn’t always go hand in hand, and you may find that you’ve had to sacrifice your stylish carpet to keep your pet happy. However, you can still have a carpeted home, so long as you take some things into consideration. For instance, if you want a wool carpet, you might want to have a re-think, as this is one of the worst carpet types if you need something stain-resistant. A better option would be to go for a polypropylene carpet, as this is more resistant to staining. Also, it goes without saying that you should avoid any cream carpets if you have pets – that’s just asking for trouble. To stop any messes from being too visible, opt for a darker-colored carpet, or one with patterns that make it difficult to spot stains. 

If you’re not too keen on carpets, why not try a stylish rug instead? Sometimes, having a patterned rug is much easier than trying to carpet a room, and it can make for a great statement piece. Just make sure it’s hardwearing and non-slip.

Paint, Not Wallpaper

If you love patterned wallpaper or have a statement wall in your home, then it’s best to keep your pets away from it. Pets can easily damage wallpapered surfaces, whether they scratch it, rub up against it, or dirty it. And good luck trying to get the smell of wet dog out of your wallpaper. To add color to your home, use paint as an alternative. By painting your walls, all you need to worry about is having a cloth ready to wipe off any dirt.

Aromatherapy

After a while, any odors that come from your pets become undetectable, at least to you. But for your guests, it’s another story. To avoid your home permanently smelling like the inside of a pet store, use some good old aromatherapy. Indulge in some scented candles, incense sticks, or diffusers; not only will this banish any bad smells, but it will also add some aesthetic to your home. Just check that whatever you buy is safe for pets and doesn’t contain anything that is bad for your pet’s health.
