If you’re the owner of a lovely pooch, whether puppy or cat, then you know for a fact that it’s often difficult to choose the right design item that will stand up to the antics of your much-loved canine for a longer period of time.
As cute as they are when curled up on the couch, it’s important to choose the right furniture that can withstand scratches, hair falling out everywhere or other unfortunate events.
CHOOSE A SOFA WITH DURABLE UPHOLSTERY
When you’re looking at living room furniture, try to choose sofas and cushions that match both the size of your living room and your preferred design style, as well as your pets. What does it mean to match your pets?
Simple! The material of the sofas and cushions should be durable, so they can withstand frequent use and not absorb any spills or stains left by dogs or cats. A material that is easy to clean is also important.
Choose a microfibre sofa or synthetic velvet corner so that pet hair doesn’t stand out and is easy to clean. A good choice is a natural leather sofa, as it is easy to maintain, easy to clean and doesn’t attract pet hair, and is also particularly stylish. What can attract them, however, are scratch marks, but if their paw nails are trimmed regularly, you won’t have a problem. For extra safety, you can choose a sofa cover because when it gets stained, it’s much easier to clean.
Choose a sofa in dark colours, these will help camouflage pet hair. If you have a white cat, go for a corner in warm, light colours.
GO FOR A BOOKCASE THAT WON’T SUFFER
As with sofas, for storing various things that can become pets’ favourite toys, choose to buy wall-mounted bookcases, bookcases that can be fixed at appropriate heights so that your dog or cat can’t reach in and destroy your things or books. As well as destroying various items, dogs can chew on the bookcase and cats can scratch it. Suspended at an optimal height from the floor, your library and books will be safe.
You develop a strong bond with a pet. Maintaining an elegant home that provides a suitable environment for a puppy or kitten is part of our job as pet owners. Choosing the right sofas, bookcases or other furniture items will help you to enjoy the quality and pleasant design of the furniture for a long time, where you will live in harmony with your favourite pet.
