How to Choose Pet-Friendly Furniture

Pets are wonderful companions to have. Dogs and cats are loveable but can leave their mark with a shedding trail even on your furniture. As a pet owner, it’s vital to consider pet-friendly furniture when furnishing your home. We want you and your pets to be comfortable in style and on durable fabrics. At Cleo’s Furniture, we’ve come up with four tips when it comes to picking out furniture that is pet-friendly. Our first tip is to choose Stain-Resistant Fabrics. 

1. Stain-Resistant Fabrics 

With cloth fabric, it’s easy to see pet hair. Try choosing a material like leather that is easy to wipe off and keeps its shine. The Marisol 3 Piece Sectional is an ideal selection. This sectional can seat your family and is a great place to lounge with your guests and hang out with your dog. Another great choice is the Polo Club 7 Piece Sectional. This sectional is made of microfiber fabric, making it easy to maintain and the perfect addition to any home. Microfiber fabrics are a fantastic pet-friendly material.

Our next tip is to choose a dark-colored or patterned fabric. 

2. Dark-Colored Fabric

Choosing dark-colored or patterned fabrics can help conceal pet hair and stains. These fabrics can make any damage or erosion on the furniture unnoticeable. The London Charcoal Livingroom Group is one to consider. The dark fabric makes it easy to disguise stains. The Yellowstone Chocolate Ottoman might be a better choice if you’re not fond of having your pet on your living room furniture. This ottoman had a dark brown base that you could kick your feet up or let your dog lay comfortably. Next is choosing furniture with removable covers.

3. Removable Covers 

Look for furniture that is removable and can be machine-washed. If you love white, bright-colored, or neutral colors for your furniture, make sure it has removable covers in case of any mishaps; it’s easy to clean. Removable covers allow easy replacement, cleaning, and washing away the mess. Our last tip is to be purchasing scratch-resistant material.

4. Scratch-Resistant Material 

For our cat owners, a scratch-resistant fabric is best. Microfiber material is excellent for cats. The Yellowstone Chocolate Sectional has a polished microfiber material that feels like soft leather with warm earth tones. Leather and other synthetic fabrics are consistently less likely to damage easily.
