8 Tips:Designing a Pet-Ready Home with Born In Colour

🐾 Designing a Pet-Friendly Yet Stylish Home — With Born In Colour

Creating a home that’s both elegant and pet-ready is entirely possible — especially with the right furniture choices. At Born In Colour, we believe style should never be sacrificed for practicality. Here’s how you can design a pet-friendly home that reflects both beauty and thoughtful living:

1. Opt for Sofa Fabrics That Love Pets Too

Choose sofas with leather or performance fabric upholstery from our Scandinavian or Muji collections, which are resistant to stains, easy to wipe, and less likely to trap pet fur.

2. Select Low-Profile, Stable Coffee Tables

Avoid furniture with sharp edges or unstable legs. Go for rounded-edge wooden coffee tables or solid side tables that won’t topple over during zoomies.

3. Embrace Raised Furniture with Exposed Legs

Furniture like raised TV consoles or benches makes cleaning pet hair underneath easier and adds to that clean, minimalist look.

4. Incorporate Multi-Functional Storage with Style

Declutter chew toys and leashes using closed storage options like stylish sideboards or cabinets. This keeps your space tidy while adding charm.

5. Create a Pet Nook with Purpose

Instead of hiding your pet’s bed in a corner, integrate it stylishly into your décor. Use low shelving or open TV stands as a frame for a chic, designated resting spot.

6. Use Scratch-Resistant Wood Finishes

For homes with cats or small dogs, pick furniture with scratch-resistant finishes, especially on dining chairs and table legs.

7. Decorate Vertically with Shelves & Wall Units

Keep fragile or chewable décor out of reach by installing floating wall shelves or vertical display units.

8. Choose Rugs & Textiles to Complement Your Furniture

Match your textiles to our Born In Colour neutral palettes, such as light wood tones, warm greys, and taupes — these tones naturally camouflage fur while staying stylish.

Final Note

With Born In Colour, your space can be as inviting for your pets as it is for your guests. Our collections are thoughtfully curated to match a modern lifestyle with real-world functionality - and yes, that includes the joyful chaos of pet ownership.
