When you have pets your number one goal is to make the home is safe, and is as comfortable as possible. Often times this means sacrificing style for function. The good news however is that it doesn't have to be this way. You can still have a fashionable home while still making sure your pet is safe. Here is a few simple techniques you can use to accomplish a stylish, yet pet friendly look in your home.

Create a Pet Corner

Pets are very much like humans. They too desire to have a space that they can call their own. To make a pet corner work, it is very important you find out what will work best for both you and your pet. When choosing a pet bed, don't be afraid to pick something with colors. This will liven up the space and make it look like part of the decor instead of sticking out like a sore thumb.

Put Up a Pet Gate

We know you love your pet, but it is very important you too have a place to retreat to. Putting up a gate pet is a simple way to keep your pet where he or she should be. Pet gates come in a variety of different styles and designs which means you should have no problem finding one that blends in with your decor.

Purchase Big Furniture

When you have pets, big furniture is a necessity. Big, or tall, furniture provides you with an easy way to keep your valuables out of the reach of your pesky animals. When you are training your dog, it is very important you protect your furniture. To do this use things such as bubble wrap or tin foil to act as a barrier between your pet and your furniture.

You should also consider getting furniture that is easy to clean under as chairs and sofa tend to attract a lot of fur.
