Pet Accessories
Items for dogs and cats often clash with the rest of the interior – bright plastics and printed patterns disrupt the calm decor. Designer accessories solve this simply: natural materials and muted colors make pet furniture look like part of the decor.
Dog Bed – What Size
Measure your pet lying stretched out and add about 20–25% to the length. A bed that is too small forces them to curl up, while one that is too large does not provide the sense of security that most pets seek.
Dogs that sleep on their sides prefer flat models, while those that curl up like a ball prefer beds with high edges. A removable cover for washing is practically a requirement, not an option.
Where to Place the Bed
Ideally, place it to the side of the room, facing the door, but out of the main traffic flow – pets sleep more soundly when no one walks over them. In the living room, a spot next to the sofa or in the corner by the armchair works well.
Avoid placing the bed directly next to a radiator or in a draft.
Bowls and Feeding Height
For larger dogs, an elevated bowl makes eating easier and relieves the neck – the edge should be about at the height of the shoulder joint. For cats, the width of the bowl is more important: shallow and wide dishes do not irritate their whiskers.
Ceramics and stainless steel are more hygienic than plastic, which scratches easily and harbors bacteria in micro-cracks.
Shared Interior
A practical note for the rest of the decor: in homes with pets, tightly woven fabrics work better than looped bouclé, which claws can easily snag. The same goes for rugs – short pile is easier to vacuum.
Toys and small items can be organized in containers that can be kept next to the bed.
