7 Interior Design Ideas for Pets

Pets eat, sleep and relax in our homes just like we do. But when it comes to home renovations, our decorating and interior design decisions tend to revolve around us—the people. As more and more families take home four-legged friends, interior design may change too.

Just as you update the interior of your home in anticipation of a new baby or when a child gets older, when we get a pet, we too are preparing for changes in the home. Pet-friendly interior design supports our pets with built-in special features for feeding, bathing, sleeping and more.

Pet station

The pet station's many smart features can transform part of your home into a pet-only zone. You can place this station in a corner to create space for your pet's bed, with a drawer underneath for your cat's food bowls. The pet corner can also be equipped with a power station with a tap for convenient filling of the bowl with water.
Built-in food bowls

You can set up a special animal feeding station in the kitchen. Metal bowls for food and water can be placed in the drawer. This will help keep them in one place and prevent your animals from moving bowls around the kitchen.

You can also use electric dog and cat feeders that will automatically feed on a timer. In addition, you can control these bowls via your smartphone and even watch what your pet is doing at home using the built-in camera.
Cat drawer

Use this little trick to keep your cat's food bowls out of the way and protect them from other pets. A shallow bottom kitchen drawer can be adapted to create a pull-out feeder. Cat food will be conveniently stored in the same box.
Dog bed

Don't know where to store your pet's bed? Consider turning your closet into a cozy corner for daytime or nighttime napping. A corner closet can become your pet's sanctuary if it contains a plush dog bed and some of his favorite toys. You can choose a bed based on the colors of the upholstery of existing furniture.

Observe where your pet likes to lie and organize a secluded place there. If your dog likes to be in a "house", build him a kennel or place a place under a canopy - dogs tend to look for a place that resembles a cave. You can even use a bedside table to create such a place.
Special place for hygiene

Pet hygiene is one of the most important points that owners think about. You can make bathing your pet easier in the shower. If you're planning ahead for your renovation, you can plan a designated dog wash station after a walk. Use a tile, a handheld spray bottle, and a storage niche that holds pet shampoo.

The cat toilet can be organized in the bathroom or hallway. Disguise a plastic tray by placing it in a cabinet or shelf, after making holes for the animal to enter.
Wall mounted place for cats

Forget about bulky cat trees and hang a comfortable cat bed directly on the wall. Choose a sturdy basket and screw it to the wall using extra-large washers, which will help distribute the weight and reduce wear and tear on the basket's fibers. Line the inside with a soft blanket to create a comfortable place for your cat to watch the room.

Full size pet station

For large dogs, owners can allocate space for a bed. The painted frame and shade of the fabric can match the bed or other pieces of furniture. You can also create additional cabinets around the dog's area to store food, toys and other essentials.
