Dog Digs

Got pets? Don’t compromise your approach to good design.

Your dog is your best friend, and rightly so. Dogs eagerly snuggle, lick you, and leap into your arms the minute you come home. But what they need in their home doesn’t always mesh with your vision of a living space — think squeaky toys and discarded rawhide amidst Dhurrie rugs and antique chaises. So how do you and your best friend compromise?

It’s easy, says Margaret Presti of Margeaux Interiors in Birmingham. “Use hardwood flooring — hand-scraped and with matte finishes — and tile as a starting point.” By avoiding carpets in heavy traffic areas you’ll eliminate hair, bacteria, and countless stains, reducing anxiety and creating appeal.

Order, too, is paramount. Put food and treats in hidden bins, store toys in elegant containers, and hang accessories on stylish hooks. Today, many kitchen cabinetry companies build pet-food bins right into their design schemes.

The fundamental rule, says Randy Rubin, co-owner of West Bloomfield-based Crypton Fabrics, is to work with what you’ve got. “You don’t have to compromise your design preferences just because you have pets,” she says. “Fashionable, performance-driven items such as stain- and moisture-resistant pet beds help maintain the integrity of any residential design.”

Finding one-of-a-kind-items that work with your canine cohorts will ultimately create inviting, personalized decor. So whether you toss a toile bed in your kitchen, put a modern doghouse in your den, or mount a replica of Fido over your fireplace, you’ll be presenting a united front.
