If you have a cat or a dog, then you probably know that even the most intelligent and nice pet can sometimes stain or damage things.
Knowing this, you probably shouldn't use some interior design trends in your house, because they are too high-maintenance for pet owners.
Here are some of them.
Delicate Fabrics
Furniture and upholstery made from delicate fabrics like silk, velvet, or certain types of linen can be easily damaged by pet claws or prone to staining from accidents.
These materials may require more maintenance or be less durable when exposed to pet activity.
Light-Colored Upholstery
Light-colored furniture or upholstery can show pet hair, stains, and dirt more prominently, requiring frequent cleaning and maintenance to keep them looking clean and presentable.
High-Maintenance Flooring
Flooring materials such as high-gloss hardwood, certain types of tiles, or wall-to-wall carpets can be challenging to maintain with pets.
Ornate Decorations
Delicate, fragile, or easily toppled decorative items like vases, figurines, or sculptures can be at risk of damage if accidentally knocked over by pets.
Open Shelving
Open shelves and exposed storage may tempt pets to explore and potentially knock down items or create clutter.
Low-Mounted Electronics and Cables
Pets, particularly puppies and kittens, may be attracted to cables, cords, or low-mounted electronics, posing a risk of damage or injury.
