Best Pet Furniture for Your Home DÃ©cor

If you own a home, you know what a struggle it can be to move about your living space if there's excess clutter and furniture everywhere you turn. And, with over 70 percent of American households also owning pets these days, it can be that much more of a struggle when their furniture enters the equation, as well.

Thankfully, there are plenty of versatile, modern options for pet furniture that can help both you and your furry friends get the most enjoyment out of your living space, without taking away from the look of your interior decor. Here are some great ideas for pet furniture that will allow you to fill your home with endless, loveable pets and stylish home furnishings.

Upgrade Your Cat's Litter Box and Your Storage Space

Gone are the days when you had bright, unsightly plastic cat litter boxes sitting noticeably and awkwardly off to the side or even in the center of your living room, bedroom or laundry room. Now, you can safely give your cat its own space and enjoy additional storage pieces by investing in accent benches or nightstand tables with built-in cubbies for your pet to do his business in secret.

Options like the Merry Products Cat Washroom Bench - Walnut offer you the chance to give your kitty somewhere to handle his needs, with an easily accessible side opening for him to slip in and out without any kind of litter box being visible to the outside world. With the litter box safely nestled inside, this bench affords plenty of mobility for your cat to maneuver without interruption, while the bench itself also serves as a fresh, traditional piece of furniture that can be used for extra seating and storage. With a few throw pillows or a blanket situated on top, this contemporary bench can look like an intentional addition to your living room decor.

Keep Your Pup Stylishly Protected While You're Away

No one likes having to leave their beloved pooch at home alone. However, when the occasion calls for it, a suitable crate or sturdy gate can ensure his safety and comfort while you're away. Instead of placing an oversized, clunky box right in the center of your home's sitting area, why not indulge in something that blends in seamlessly with your decor, while also serving as an extra table surface? The Richell Accent Corner Table Dog Crate - Antique Bronze provides you with a luxurious, vintage corner table that looks chic and presentable on the outside, while acting as a comfortable and roomy dog crate on the inside. You can give your furry friend more than enough room to relax and rest, without needing to take up unnecessary floor space.

Or, if you own a medium to large-sized breed of dog that you'd rather not confine into a smaller area, something like the Richell Convertible Elite Dog Gate High 4-Panel - Autumn Matte can do wonders in a variety of ways. The freestanding gate is versatile and easy to set up anywhere in your home that's suitable for corraling your pup and keeping him safe when you're absent. Meanwhile, the glossy finish of the wooden frame can nicely accent any other colors or patterns of your interior decor, acting as a quaint room divider when it's not in use with your dog.

Regardless of the amount of space you have or the color you desire with your crates and gates, there are numerous choices for safeguarding your fluffball without forcing an obvious eyesore into your home's decor.

Give Your Feline a Luxurious Bed and Free Up Living Space

Should your royal feline ever be able to speak, he would likely request a soft, fuzzy bed to luxuriate in. You would also undoubtedly enjoy giving him such a comfortable resting place, but perhaps you don't have a lot of space to offer. Satisfy both of your needs with a lofty and luxurious bed such as the Trixie Isaba Cat Tree - Black/White, which allows for both stylish looks and inviting comfort that can optimize the state of your living area. This piece provides two plush seating or sleeping areas and three bonus scratching posts as part of the structural "tree," giving your well-treated kitty a divine resting space that will only accentuate your modern, classy home interior.

Elevate Your Patio Area With a Modern, Outdoor Pet Home

You may become slightly jealous of your cat or small dog if he or she gets to live in the Trixie Natura Pet Home With Shaded Balcony! Designed to give your furball a safe, comfortable space outside for lounging, this two-story wooden pet home comes with a covered balcony on top that's good for shading your pet from the heat or chill outdoors. With helpful steps on the exterior and a hideaway cubby hole underneath the balcony, this pet home is ideal for both optimizing your fur baby's lifestyle and offering a minimalistic design that can blend effortlessly into your patio furnishings and outdoor decor.

Gaudy or tacky pet furniture no longer has to become the focal point of your home's living space. These days, you can find fresh, contemporary styles that match your modern tastes, giving you, your family and your furry friends all the ample space and convenience you need, without disrupting your decorating plans. So, toss out your outdated furnishings and upgrade your home with any of these glamorous and affordable pieces, suited for beloved pets who deserve the best!
