With more families considering their furry companions as full members, the demand for pet-friendly homes is on the rise. At Lambie Homes, we understand the importance of a living space that caters to the comfort and safety of your pets. Our homes in Kansas City are designed with the well-being of your four-legged friends in mind.
Pet-Proofing Basics
Pet-proofing your new home is essential for the safety and comfort of your pets. Start by securing loose wires, ensuring small objects are out of reach and installing gates if necessary. Keep hazardous substances, like cleaning agents, in secure cabinets. These simple steps can prevent accidents and provide peace of mind.
Designing Pet-Friendly Spaces
Create designated spaces for your pets to eat, sleep and play. A cozy corner with a pet bed and toys can be a sanctuary for your pet. Set up a specific feeding area to keep meal times organized. Dedicate a space where your pet can frolic freely for those playful moments.
Choosing the Right Materials
In a pet-friendly home, the right materials make all the difference. Opt for durable, easy-to-clean flooring like tile or laminate. When selecting furniture, consider fabrics that resist pet hair and stains. These choices help maintain a clean, stylish home while accommodating your pets’ needs.
Incorporating Outdoor Spaces
Outdoor spaces are vital for your pet’s well-being. If you have a yard, consider secure fencing to provide a safe area for your pet to explore. Small patios or balconies can be transformed into a pet-friendly retreat with potted plants and a comfy outdoor bed for those without a yard.
Maintaining a Clean and Healthy Environment
Keeping your home clean is crucial when living with pets. Invest in a good vacuum cleaner to manage pet hair and dander. Air purifiers can also help maintain air quality. Choose washable fabrics and easy-to-clean surfaces to make upkeep a breeze.
Ensuring Pet Accessibility
Consider the accessibility of your home, especially for older pets. Simple additions like ramps can help pets with mobility issues. Ensure that food and water are easily accessible, and provide comfortable resting areas on each floor of your home.
Balancing Aesthetics and Functionality
Creating a pet-friendly home doesn’t mean sacrificing style. You can blend functionality with aesthetics by choosing chic yet durable materials. Decorative elements like stylish pet beds or unique feeding stations can add to your home’s charm.
