If you are considering a home renovation, incorporating your family's needs into your decorating design is essential. This includes every member of your family, not just the humans. Home owners are increasingly making the needs of their pets an important component of their design choices. Whether you want to renovate your existing home or update a new real estate purchase you are considering making, following are five fabulous ways you can make sure your dog's comfort is attended to with your design.
Dog-Friendly Island
Many of today's homeowners are incorporating islands into their kitchen design. Why not consider making a cozy home for your pampered pet part of your kitchen island's design? A kitchen island with a wide base is the perfect spot for a comfortable alcove for your dog. Add a plush pillow and your pooch will be in the perfect spot to pick up scraps of food you might accidentally drop from your kitchen island as you are preparing meals.
Languid Laundry Room
If you are considering renovating your laundry room, making room for your furry friend just makes sense. Create a dog bath area as well as a relaxing spot for your pet to curl up in comfort. Accessorize your pet's quarters to match the rest of your laundry room and friends/family will be enchanted by your creative decorating style. A pet-friendly laundry room also makes an excellent selling point should you ever decide to list your home for sale with a real estate agent.
Staircase Style
If you have an empty wall next to your staircase, consider making a custom corner for your puppy pal. Add a decorative roof and siding shingles, and you'll have a pooch parlor any dog would adore. Coordinate a comfortable pillow, leash, and dog bowl to match the interior of your home for a scrumptious look perfect for the pages of Architectural Digest.
Bow Wow Bathroom
For those contemplating a bathroom renovation how about installing a motion-activated doggy water dispenser on a bathroom wall? This ensures your dog's water is always fresh and that you never have to worry about your pet knocking over their water dish again. Pretty cool concept for a pet perfect bathroom, right?
Sumptuous Sofa Style
Whether your pet stays on it or not is questionable, but why not consider getting your fur babies their very own pet sofa for the end of your bed? Instead of having pet whiskers and doggy breath waking you up each morning, your puppy can comfortably rest on their own cushy sofa that matches your bedroom decor. This doggy decorating option doesn't require a home renovation; a simple adjustment to your current decor is all it takes.
These are just five of many ways you can upgrade your home's decor to ensure your abode is pooch perfect. Think creatively when it comes to making renovation decisions and you'll ensure every member of your family (hairy or not) will feel at home.
