Decoration Tips



Just because you have a pet, doesn't mean that your house needs to look like you do. Here are some pet-friendly tips for ways to decorate your house:

Hiding Litter Boxes
The fact that our feline friends will use their own bathrooms to discretely do their business is definitely one of the bonuses of being owned by a cat. Fluffy’s personal powder room won’t do much for your décor, however. There are some great ways to camouflage litter boxes. You can cut a hole in an enclosed end table or plastic tote, hide it behind a folding screen, or shop for a customized piece.

Choose the Right Fabrics
When shopping, look for fabrics that don’t trap fur, such as leather and microfiber. Flooring is a better bet than carpet, as it’s much easier to clean. We also recommend getting drapes for window treatments, rather than blinds, and putting washable slipcovers on your furniture. 


Dinner Hack
Put a placemat or a dinner tray beneath your pet’s food and water bowls. It will trap dropped bits of food, and will be much easier to clean than the floor itself.

Pet Pantry
If you have room, consider making a pet pantry. A simple standalone cabinet or repurposed armoire will do nicely. You can keep Fido and Fluffy’s toys, clothing, first aid kits, carriers, leashes and collars, and food there, instead of having your furball’s belongs scattered here and there.


Pick the Right Plants
Plants can add a wonderful, natural touch to any home. They also filter air, which can help fight pet odors and make your home smell better. Just be sure to choose the right plants. You can check the ASPCA website for a list of toxic and non-toxic plants.
