Pet-Friendly Homes Are A New Frontier—Cabinetry Is Being Redesigned Around Cats And Dogs

Pet-owning households want scratch resistance, stain resistance, easy cleaning, and dedicated pet circulation. The custom answers: scratch-resistant finishes and durable fabrics, washable cushions, pet passages under cabinets and hidden litter-box bays, feeding stations with integrated water and food storage, balcony units combining laundry with pet washing, and ventilated interior structures for odor control. The design principle is to make pet facilities part of the architecture rather than add-ons-tidier, and far more likely to stay in use.
