Dear Pet Owners,

When you are designing your home, please don’t forget to take your pets’ feeling into consideration. Your pets need to feel comfortable too, so you need to incorporate living space for your pets into the house.

Friend Trusted has shared some DIY design with you to build a pet-friendly house.

  1. A STAIRCASE TO CLIMB

Cats love to jump up and down, so built some shelves or stairs in the living area for them to kill time.

2. A FEEDING AREA

With a built-in feeding station, you can keep the things tidy and only human beings are allowed on tables.

3. A COMFY PLACE TO SLEEP

Pets like to cuddle with you but they are not invited to furniture. You can either DIY build a built-in room table or buy a pet-friendly chair for them to sleep in.

4. SUITABLE FLOORING

Pets spend most of their time on the floor, so it is very important to pick the right flooring for them. Easy to clean, non-porous surfaces are ideal. Hardwood and bamboo could work too, but pet might leave some scratch marks on the surface of the floor. Radiant heat flooring is also another new option for pet owners.
