Pawfect Flooring for Your Home
Pets are family and they live in our homes so we should make them as welcome and comfortable as possible. When bringing animals into your home you can, and likely will, be exposed to messes, spills and accidents. But with the right materials, furniture, and design solutions, having a chic, comfortable home for you and your furry family is entirely achievable. Here are some top tips and recommendations to help you achieve just that, featuring some of Carpet Court’s most pet friendly and durable products.
CHOOSING PET-FRIENDLY FURNITURE AND MATERIALS:
When selecting furniture, opt for pieces that are easy to clean and can withstand the daily wear and tear of pet life. Consider materials like leather or tightly woven fabrics that can be effortlessly wiped down and are less prone to trapping pet hair.
Removable slipcovers also offer practicality and convenience for quick cleaning. For added protection, explore fabrics with water-resistant coatings to repel stains effectively.
RECOMMENDED HARD FLOORING FOR PETS:
Hard flooring is a popular option among pet owners for its resilience and ease of maintenance. Carpet Court’s Capitol Rigid Core range is specifically designed to withstand the demands of pet companionship, offering the timeless look of natural wood coupled with hybrid durability.
K-Guard+® surface protection works as a barrier against stains and scratches from family pets. It’s also easy to clean, so you can enjoy more fun with your fur babies. And if you love the colour palette but don’t want a Hybrid, this product also comes in a Vinyl option.
INCORPORATING PET-FRIENDLY FEATURES WITHOUT SACRIFICING DESIGN:
Integrating pet-friendly features seamlessly into your home’s design can enhance both functionality and aesthetics. Consider incorporating a designated feeding station, integrated litter trays, pet beds, and even a cleaning bay within your cabinetry to provide your pets with their own space while keeping your home organised and clutter-free.
CARPETING THAT’S BOTH COMFORTABLE AND PET-FRIENDLY:
For those who prefer the warmth and comfort of carpeting, opt for pet-friendly options designed to withstand high-traffic areas.
Carpet Court’s Basenji carpet is tailored for pet-loving households, offering stain resistance and easy maintenance ideal for busy lifestyles
RUGS THAT WELCOME PETS:
Rugs can define spaces and add layers of texture and colour to a room. The Paradise and Oasis rugs from Carpet Court are not only designed to be stylish but are also made from materials that make clean-up a breeze. The Evoke Collection also stands out for its ease of maintenance, proving that style and pet-friendliness can go hand-in-hand.
TIPS FOR EASY-CLEAN FLOORING AND RUGS:
Opt for low-pile rugs and durable flooring materials known for their ease of cleaning. Regular vacuuming, prompt spill cleanup, and occasional professional maintenance will help prolong the life of your flooring and rugs, keeping your home looking its best.
MATERIALS THAT MARRY DURABILITY WITH STYLE:
When it comes to materials, both synthetic fibres and certain natural fibres offer resilience against pets. Polypropylene rugs, like those in the Oasis floor rug range, are an excellent option, combining durability with aesthetic appeal.
MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR A PET-FRIENDLY HOUSEHOLD:
Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your window furnishings, hard flooring, carpet, and rugs. For window treatments, opt for materials that can be easily wiped down or vacuumed. Carpet Court’s wide range of pet-friendly flooring solutions, including the recycled PET (not to be confused with pets!) Avenue range and Reduce Diamond range, are designed with both sustainability and ease of maintenance in mind.
By selecting the right materials and incorporating smart, pet-friendly design solutions, you can create a living space that is both stylish and welcoming to your four-legged family members.
