Pet-Friendly Décor Trends

Let’s start with the fun part – trendy décor. We’ll work through the practical tips and tricks later, but first, let’s break down top 2024 trends. First, choose a color palette that is super-hot this year. While your pet may be colorblind, your guests won’t be! A trendy color scheme is a great way to add a splash of style that won’t interfere with your pet-friendly space. Pantone has chosen “Very Peri” as the Color of the Year. This experimental tone is a surreal take on a classic periwinkle hue. Pair this color with trendy terrazzo details and speckled patterns for a space that matches a dalmatians spots! Hang a two-panel print in the center of your living room to instantly modernize your home.

Protect Your Pets AND Your Home

Pets are like children. You have to protect them from the hazards of daily life. Avoid delicate glass furniture and accessories that can break and cut their previous paws. We all know cats have a penchant for pushing objects off of teetering surfaces, so anything highly breakable should be avoided. If you have a dog, wicker and wood furniture can be totally safe. However, organic textiles can be tempting for a scratch-happy cat. If you’ve just brought your pet home, it might be a smart idea to hide the more delicate furniture pieces and accessories while you get a sense of their behavior and personality.

Pro Tip: Pillow covers and couch covers are a great way to add interesting patterns to your space in an easy-to-wash way!

Materials & Textiles for Easy Clean-Up

Beyond washable textiles, avoid fabrics that are a magnet for fur. For example, steer clear of velvet, shag, or silky finishes. Remember, the smoother the surface, the easier it is to clean! For example, fabrics like leather can be wiped off with very little effort. When it comes to flooring, consider tile or laminate. If you want to add a rug so your furry friend doesn’t slip and slide, make sure the rug is machine washable. Finally, go with a semi-gloss paint rather than a more matte finish because it’s much easier to remove pet hair and stains.

Don’t Take Your Décor Too Seriously

One reason we love our fur babies is because they make us laugh! Silly pets are the best pets. Choose a piece of wall art that highlights the humor that pets add to our lives. Our “pets wall art” collection has both serious and silly prints, but we have a special spot in our hearts for the comedic pieces of art. Put a smile on the face of everyone who enters your home with a funny, animal-themed canvas print. Keep the rest of your décor classy and sophisticated for the perfect balance between serious and lighthearted décor. Embrace minimalism and let your comedic print be the center of attention.
