Interior designers often dislike pet houses, because they can easily spoil the aesthetic of the whole living space.

Pet owners who love their cats and dogs and want them to feel comfortable and protected should pick pet houses wisely, though.

Here are a few tips on how to prevent a pet house from spoiling the design of your house.

Location

Find an appropriate location for the pet house that provides comfort and convenience for your pets while fitting into the overall layout of your home. 

Size and Proportion

Consider the proportions of the pet house in relation to the surrounding furniture and objects to maintain a balanced and visually appealing arrangement.

Material and Finish

Select pet house materials that are durable, easy to clean, and pet-friendly. 

Ensure that the finish of the pet house complements the surrounding furniture and decor, creating a cohesive look.

Accessories and Decor

Add decorative elements to enhance the pet house's aesthetics and make it feel like a part of your interior design. 

Consider adding cushions, blankets, or decorative accents that match the overall color scheme or theme of your space. 

Consider Multi-functional Designs

Explore pet house designs that serve dual purposes. 

For example, you can choose a coffee table with a built-in pet house or a bookshelf with integrated pet cubbies.
