Creating a cozy, functional home isn’t just about human comfort, with furmoms increasingly designing spaces with pets in mind, too. 

One of the most popular picks among pet owners is the humble shelving unit. Low, open shelves can double as lounging spots for cats or a neat way to store pet essentials like toys, treats and grooming tools. Add soft cushions or folded throws, and these shelves easily transform into cozy nooks where pets can curl up.

Storage is another game-changer. Woven baskets and bins are perfect for keeping clutter under control, especially for households with energetic pets and a growing collection of accessories. Instead of toys scattered across the living room, furmoms can keep everything organized while still within easy reach for playtime.

For feeding areas, simple trays and easy-to-clean mats help keep things tidy. Elevated setups using small stools or platforms can also make mealtime more comfortable for pets, particularly for medium to large dogs. Pair this with durable, minimalist bowls, and you get a feeding station that looks just as good as the rest of your home.

Comfort, of course, remains a priority. Soft rugs and washable textiles not only add warmth to a space but also give pets a comfortable place to rest. Many furmoms opt for neutral-toned fabrics that hide fur and are easy to maintain.
