Pets are already a part of many families; cats, dogs, and birds. It is only reasonable to have a pet-friendly residential interior design in Singapore that is comfortable and safe for humans and animals.
Here are some tricks on how to pull off pet-friendly interior design ideas in Singapore:
1. Opt for cheap rugs
Expect your cat or dog to pee and poop a lot on your rug. They are less painful and cheaper to throw off than your expensive wool rugs. Also, expect dirty paw prints all over your rug. Easy-to-wash rugs are advisable for pet owners.
2. Keep fewer decors
Dogs love to pull things off, while cats love to push things off. Either way, your figurines and china decors are most likely the victims. As much as possible, keep your decors minimal and opt for wall-mounted furniture that your pets can't reach.
Ask your interior design company in Singapore to learn more about minimalist interior design.
3. Fake flowers
Many homeowners brighten up their space with indoor plants and succulents; however, certain species are not pet-friendly. These plants could cause poisoning and stomach upset when ingested.
It is better to find a pet-friendly plant or choose faux indoor plants. Ask your commercial interior design company in Singapore for examples of fake or pet-safe indoor plants.
4. Have a separate feeding area
As much as possible, don't place your pet feeding bowls near your kitchen or dining area. Otherwise, their pet fur can contaminate food.
Designate an area in the house for pet feeding.
5. Pet-friendly upholstery fabric
In addition to wetting and soiling your fabrics, dogs and cats leave fur everywhere, including on your couch or sofa. The key is to choose pet-friendly upholstery fabrics.
For example, microfiber, microsuede, and leather are low maintenance, stain and scratch resistant, and do not accumulate fur. Ask your interior design company in Singapore for the best pet-proof fabric.
