Lavish attention on your pets, and spoil them even more! Let’s talk about how to pull this custom home design endeavor off!
Configure Pet Washing Stations
Set up pet washing stations. They don’t have to integrate into the bathroom, either. One of the easiest ways to rethink home design is by doing this; the laundry room and mudroom make great locations for this purpose. Storage cabinets can hold treats, litter containers, brushes, toys, food, and leashes. Elevated dog washes and spray-handle sinks make muddy paws or bathtime less harrowing. If you decide to place your cat’s litter box here, be sure to include an exhaust fan that carries away foul odors.
Find the Right Flooring
Flooring is an indispensable part of every home, custom-made or not. When it comes to custom home design, you have far more control over the layout of your domicile. Luxury vinyl tile is gaining popularity amongst homeowners, as are laminate flooring, concrete, stone, porcelain, and ceramic tiles. These materials are incredibly durable and also cooler than the carpet that you might otherwise choose. Hardwood flooring is perfectly acceptable, but you’ll want to choose harder wood like oak or mahogany. These species are more resistant to patina or the normal wear-and-tear caused by scratches and dents.
Prepare Your Furniture Upholstery
Elsewhere around your home, think about your furniture. For instance, Scotchguard protection is well worth the investment. Fabric slipcovers are another option for easier cleaning after being soiled. Microfiber is another material that works just as well. Buy a scratching post for your cats so they aren’t tempted to ruin your ottoman or coffee table. Doing so will also protect your carpet and drapes from pointy feline claws.
Widen the Windows for All Your Pets
Adding plenty of windows definitely brightens your home. By incorporating wider windows, you’ll give your pets, both cats and dogs – someplace new to spend the days. There, they can watch the snow falling, the rolling thunder from a loud storm, or simply observe what the neighbors are doing today!
