Pet-Friendly Furniture Ideas For Your Home!

The pet industry celebrated a rather big milestone last year, with figures from the American Pets Products Association (APRA) showing that consumer spending in the pets sector surpassed $6 billion for the first time ever.

Despite our increased spending on our pets, it’s fair to say that when it comes to decorating our homes, a pet’s’ opinion isn’t the first thing that crosses our minds.

Retailers are changing that. The Swedish giant IKEA is leading the way with the release of the first-ever pet-friendly sofa in 2015.

Fast forward to 2017, and the range of choice of pet-friendly furniture has grown substantially. Pet pieces are now available that wouldn’t look out of place in a designer showroom.

To give you some inspiration on how to turn your home into a place of comfort for your pet, we’ve compiled a list of six items that you need to have in your home, below.

With Summer in full swing, your pets are likely to be spending more time outdoors. It’s important they have a cool place to retreat to if things get a little too hot under the collar.

The Table Hutch

In general, hamster cages aren’t the most visually appealing pieces of furniture. The metal bars can resemble a prison, more than a place for your pet to call home. With a little bit of imagination, it’s not hard to turn an old set of draws into a palace fit for a king.

No old furniture lying around for your pet project? Visit a yard sale or check out what used furniture is available in your local area on a site like Gumtree.
