Get This Look
Who says a pet-friendly home can’t be chic? This modern living room proves you can design a space that’s equally welcoming to your fur babies and your guests — think washable fabrics, hidden pet nooks, and sleek storage that keeps toys out of sight.
How to Recreate It
- Choose a performance or bouclé sofa in a neutral tone that hides pet hair and resists scratches.
- Incorporate a stylish built-in or freestanding pet crate that doubles as a side table or console.
- Layer a low-pile, easy-clean area rug in a patterned print to camouflage dirt and fur.
- Add a designated pet feeding station tucked into a corner with matching ceramic bowls on a tray.
- Install wall-mounted floating shelves as cat perches or display ledges to keep surfaces clear.
- Use a lidded storage ottoman to stow leashes, toys, and pet supplies within easy reach.
Styling Tips
- Choose slipcover sofas so you can throw the cover in the wash after muddy paw days.
- Pick decor in earthy, warm neutrals — they beautifully hide the inevitable pet hair.
- Use a stylish wicker basket as a toy bin so it blends right into your decor.
- Opt for stain-resistant, washable throw pillows with removable covers for easy cleaning.
- Keep a lint roller tucked inside your coffee table drawer for quick clean-ups before guests arrive.
Budget Swaps
- Instead of a designer pet crate, use an IKEA Kallax cube with a door insert — same look, fraction of the cost.
- Swap an expensive performance sofa with a budget slipcover sofa from Amazon or Wayfair.
- Use a patterned outdoor rug indoors — they’re ultra-durable, easy to hose off, and much more affordable.
- DIY a cat wall shelf using basic wooden floating shelves wrapped in carpet remnants from a hardware store.
