A pet kept in the house can leave behind a lot of hair and unpleasant odors.

Furniture, including sofas and armchairs, may be the first to suffer.

Yulia Tychino, an expert in design and architecture at the MOS SMI portal, will tell you what furniture is best to choose if you have a cat or dog in your home.

Material

If you have animals in your home, it is better to choose furniture that does not absorb odors and is easy to clean. Faux leather can be a good option.

Color

Many people buy light furniture, believing that it will visually expand the space. Yes, this is a good option. However, if there are animals in the house, it is better to choose dark shades so that the fur does not catch the eye.

Safety

It is important that there are no sharp corners on the furniture, otherwise the dog or cat may injure themselves. In addition, you need to ensure that there are no nails or sharp parts sticking out of the material.

To prevent cats from scratching furniture, you can purchase protective stickers or pads.

Now you know what furniture to choose if you have a pet in your home.
