Renovating your home and still trying to find the perfect place to house your hound or keep your cat? Well, having a pet-friendly home could be easier than you think thanks to these six fresh ideas.
6 creative ways to make your home more pet-friendly
The days of the dog house are over. Although, allowing your pet run of your home doesn’t necessarily mean you have to make sacrifices when it comes to cleanliness and style.
Be inspired by these cool and creative pet-friendly living solutions.
Built-in feeding bowls
This idea is an excellent way to take advantage of unused space; it not only looks neat, but it ensures feeding bowls are never knocked over accidentally.
Hidden entrance
A dog door doesn’t have to be an eyesore. Make the most out of your cupboard space by installing a sneaky side entrance to give your pets easy access to your home.
Cat litter boxes
Forget leaving a litter tray in the corner; cat litter cabinets can be both pretty and practical.
Dog friendly mud room
A built-in dog shower is one of the best pet investments you can make. If, like most of us, you haven’t got room for a dedicated dog-friendly mud room, you can also install one in your laundry.
Cat tower
Save your furniture from constant scratch marks by investing in a wicker sphere tower, complete with a machine-washable cushion.
Dog bed designs
Instead of throwing a mat on the floor, think of ways to build your dog bed into areas that be hidden or tucked away when they are not being used.
