In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/lifestyle\/life-and-relationships\/they-ve-wanted-a-dog-for-years-lockdown-has-finally-made-it-happen-20200424-p54n0n.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">levels of pet ownership and adoption have skyrocketed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thanks to people spending extended periods of time at home. This means a sudden need to ensure our homes are set up to accommodate ourselves and the pets we love. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many clients ask us to consider their pets when we compose our designs. And this is set to become more and more common. In fact, there are some amazing techniques, products and solutions that can help you create a beautiful space for you and your fur babies where everyone can comfortably coexist. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #808080;\"><b>Space and Scale<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning your space is key to seamless interior design with pets in mind. Think about what access you want your furry friends to have around the house. Are you a \u201cno pets on the couch\/bed\u201d kind of home? Or more relaxed about who you cosy up with on a cold winter night? These kinds of boundaries will help you design your space accordingly. For example, will your pet\u2019s bed be part of the bedroom, hidden away in the laundry, or do you need to integrate it into a living area so it\u2019s safe and cosy for them, and not disruptive to you &#8211; either in terms of location or style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully there are a lot of super stylish pet beds and design ideas you can use to repurpose existing spaces in the home. If you have a staircase, a great option is transforming the area under the stairs into a pet-friendly zone. These spaces are often small, warm and dark, which is the perfect combination for some serious snuggling. We\u2019ve seen and created some great solutions for clients, including under-the-stairs bed boudoirs, and even transforming laundry cupboards into cute kitty hideaways. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tailandfur.com\/great-ideas-of-dog-house-under-staircase\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22512 lazyload\" title=\"Smart Pet Bed Under Stairs\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Great-Ideas-of-Dog-House-Under-Staircase-14.jpeg\" alt=\"interior design with pets in mind dog bed\" width=\"552\" height=\"736\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Great-Ideas-of-Dog-House-Under-Staircase-14.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Great-Ideas-of-Dog-House-Under-Staircase-14-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Great-Ideas-of-Dog-House-Under-Staircase-14-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Great-Ideas-of-Dog-House-Under-Staircase-14-450x600.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Great-Ideas-of-Dog-House-Under-Staircase-14-20x27.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Great-Ideas-of-Dog-House-Under-Staircase-14-570x760.jpeg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/tailandfur.com\/great-ideas-of-dog-house-under-staircase\/\">Tail and Fur<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/blog\/laundry-ideas\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22513 lazyload\" title=\"Doggy Bed in Laundry\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dog-bed-laundry.jpg\" alt=\"interior design with pets in mind dog laundry bed\" width=\"552\" height=\"690\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dog-bed-laundry.jpg 564w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dog-bed-laundry-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dog-bed-laundry-450x563.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dog-bed-laundry-20x25.jpg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dog-bed-laundry-225x281.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/blog\/laundry-ideas\/\">Airtasker<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important to ensure any pet additions to your home are in line with the scale of your living arrangements. For example, if you have a small apartment we wouldn\u2019t recommend a multi-storey scratching pole. It will look out of place and dwarf your other furniture, as opposed to complementing, or even disappearing into, the surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #808080;\"><b>Materials are Key<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stain-resistant and hard-wearing materials are key when it comes to interior design with pets in mind. The last thing you want is Fido making a doo-doo on your new Oriental rug. Materials that are easy to wipe clean, scratch and odour resistant and stain-proof will be your saving grace if and when an accident happens. (This is especially important if you\u2019re trying to toilet train a puppy or kitten!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of natural fibres, think leather, quality linens and wool. The key is fibre construction &#8211; the tighter the fibres, the more resistant it will be to stains and odours. If you prefer to opt for synthetic materials, Nylon, Olefin, and Acrylic are also good choices. But our best tip is to make sure you invest in protective measures like scotch guarding and using semi-gloss wall paint to extend the life of your soft furnishings and to ensure any dirty marks are easily removed &#8211; Selleys Sugar Soap Wipes from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bunnings.com.au\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bunnings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are great for this! It\u2019s also a good idea to opt for hard surface floors (like tiles or floorboards). But when it comes to carpet and rugs, choose a shade similar to that of your furry friend so that shedding isn\u2019t so obvious between vacuums.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Material choices are also key when you think about storage &#8211; as pet accessories often come with a range of odours. Natural fibres are always best &#8211; they breathe and won\u2019t build up as many nasty smells or bacteria as synthetic fibres. You should also consider items that are easy to clean to help keep the bugs and smells at bay.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Designbx Co-Founder Kylie has two fur babies at home<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cA great tip if you are allowing your furry friends to be sofa enthusiasts with you and don\u2019t want to have to move around soft furnishings (such as cushions and throws)\u00a0 due to dog fur, use quality linen as the fur doesn\u2019t stick&#8221;.<\/strong>\u00a0 Try <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eadielifestyle.com.au\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eadie Lifestyle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for soft furnishings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tailandfur.com\/great-ideas-of-dog-house-under-staircase\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22514 lazyload\" title=\"Smart Pet Bed Ideas to Suit your Interior Design\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/KET-229316_1.jpg\" alt=\"dog pod\" width=\"552\" height=\"368\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/KET-229316_1.jpg 630w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/KET-229316_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/KET-229316_1-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/KET-229316_1-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/KET-229316_1-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/KET-229316_1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Image Source: Pet House Superstore<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #808080;\"><b>Storage Solutions<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like us, pets can come with a lot of \u201cstuff\u201d.

Simple solutions are often the best. Think hooks inside your cupboards to store small items like leashes, or small baskets for those random bits and pieces. You could even have a designated pet drawer in the kitchen or hallway where everything is stowed neatly away. For items your companion requires more often &#8211; like toys &#8211; a good solution is a stylish basket or bin that will blend with your surrounding furniture. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digsdigs.com\/how-to-organize-all-your-pet-supplies-comfortably-ideas\/pictures\/98099\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22517 lazyload\" title=\"Dog Toy Basket Storage\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-organize-all-your-pet-supplies-comfortably-ideas-5.jpg\" alt=\"interior design with pets in mind toy basket\" width=\"552\" height=\"497\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-organize-all-your-pet-supplies-comfortably-ideas-5.jpg 550w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-organize-all-your-pet-supplies-comfortably-ideas-5-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-organize-all-your-pet-supplies-comfortably-ideas-5-450x405.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-organize-all-your-pet-supplies-comfortably-ideas-5-225x203.jpg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/how-to-organize-all-your-pet-supplies-comfortably-ideas-5-20x18.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digsdigs.com\/how-to-organize-all-your-pet-supplies-comfortably-ideas\/pictures\/98099\/\">Digs Digs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #808080;\"><b>Feeding and Playtime<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeding and watering solutions are as diverse as our furry friends. From dry to wet food, messy bird seed, having a constant supply of fresh drinking water. But having messy pet bowls in the middle of the kitchen is anything but sleek and stylish. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using items that are the same colours and textures as your home style is key to ensure they blend into the space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully there are a number of stylish solutions on the market that will match to your colour scheme and requirements. Head to your local pet shop, or even seek out some cool and unique designs at your local craft markets. If your design style is more eclectic and vintage than sleek and minimalist, op shops are also a great option. Who knows, you might even find some pre-loved china to really give your furry friend the royal treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to toys, again, blend is your friend. Choose colours and textures that match or complement your style. If you have a cat and you prefer your furniture clawmark-free (hello everyone), a scratching post is an absolute must. But never fear, these items have come a long way in terms of design, so you can offer kitty a scratching solution while still maintaining your sense of style. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzz.com\/magazine\/kibble-time-clever-cubbies-and-drawers-for-your-pet-food-station-stsetivw-vs~102920872\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22518 lazyload\" title=\"Smart Feeding Feeding Station\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Capture-1.jpg\" alt=\"pet food station\" width=\"552\" height=\"425\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Capture-1.jpg 737w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Capture-1-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Capture-1-450x347.jpg 450w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Capture-1-225x173.jpg 225w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Capture-1-20x15.jpg 20w, https:\/\/designbx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Capture-1-570x439.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzz.com\/magazine\/kibble-time-clever-cubbies-and-drawers-for-your-pet-food-station-stsetivw-vs~102920872\">Houzz<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #808080;\"><b>Toilet Time<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Litter trays&#8230; It\u2019s the first rule of real estate here: Location, location, location.
