Decor tips for those who have pet at home

Hi guys! Those who have pet at home know how it is enjoyable to have a companion of a little animal. They make our lives happy and are able to change our humor, making the days lightness. Nevertheless, they are living beings, have needs, and demand a suitable ambient, for this reason, I have prepared a series of décor tips for those who have pet at home, or are figuring out to adopt a mate to fill the days of happiness and love.

But look, adopting a pet is a very serious and important decision because we are taking responsibility for the life and wellbeing of a living being for many years. Besides the food, we have to be aware that they need frequently to go to the vet, vaccine and a suitable ambient, that is, we need to adapt our house to their necessities as well, thereby we will guarantee the harmony and comfortable among pets and human beings so that in this equation the result just can be the happiness of everyone involved.

Suitable floors and walls for pet

Those who have pets need practicality, for this reason, it is recommendable the usage of floors which are easy to clean, but that is not so slick for not causing problems at their body joints, mainly the elderly dogs.

An important tip is to avoid so expensive and too furry rugs because the hair of the animals is enough, prefer those which are thin, those made of sisal, or even an option of synthetical fiber, but that not accumulate dirt and are easy to wash.

To avoid marks on the wall, acrylic ink is more indicated, it has satin finish, is easy of cleaning, and does not get stained.

If you live in an apartment, to ensure the safety of the pet is important to install a net of protection at the windows.

Appropriated sofas and chairs to the pet pet

The pets will go up to the sofa, armchair, and chairs. It is inevitable, so, instead of suffering from this, prepare yourself.

My first tip is to make the chairs of fabrics and upholstery impermeable, it will keep the furniture cleaned longer, however, even though, it is important to choose a kind of weft that does not accumulate fur, therefore, sofa of velvet is not an option. If you have a dog, leather sofa, or synthetical leather are good options because they are resistant and easy to clean.

An interesting alternative are sofa with covers, it will get better if has more than one, so, while you clean up the first one, the second one goes to the sofa and the home gets always arranged. This idea can be also done on the chair of the dining room.

It is worth investing in blankets that give a touch of cozy, are practical to wash and you can make many combinations of colors.

Resistant sofa to cats

This theme deserves special attention! The cats are animals extremely cleaned, but they love to sharpen nails, it makes part of their nature, the sofas are their “biggest victims”. At long the evolution, the felines have developed a perfect technic to keep their nails sharpened and the sofas frayed. They “bury” their claws in the upholstery and after that, they pull, it is simple, fast, and disastrous.

To avoid happening, prefer a sofa with resistant and very closed wefts, the first option that comes up to our mind is the leather, but, definitely, this is not a good idea, the cats manage to pierce the leather with the nails, making your sofa to look like a sieve. For this reason, the best alternatives of resistant fabrics to cats are:

• Jas Twill, Canvas, and Denim. They are robust, even if the cat is able to shred, the damage is not so visible.
• Suede and Ultrasuede: they have very tight weaves, and they also camouflage any frayed ones.
• Acquablock: the best option, because, in addition to having a closed weave, it receives waterproofing, which makes scratching even more difficult.

It is very important to have a scratching post at home, thereby, the little cats will get a suitable place to sharpen their nails, instead of using the upholstery to do that.

Decor objects

Decor objects with sentimental value and expensive pieces should get protected from pets. If a big dog can tear down easily a crystal vase with simple shaking of the tail. Furthermore, the cats love to throw small objects on the floor for playing. So, if you have some valued piece keep it away from the reaching pets.

Integrating objects of pets to decoration

When the home has a pet, I usually place a small bed in each room at home, thereby they get always comfortable.

For those who have space, it is worth creating a little corner for the pets, but if it is not your case, the good news is that there is multifunctional furniture that can serve human, and pets needs. They are corner tables with small cushions for the pets, stylish beds, shelves that form a playground for the cats and get totally integrated into decoration. It can make your home beautiful and your pets very happy, you just need to use the imagination.
