PET AMENITIES
Four-Legged Luxury
A rising trend for homebuilders is pet amenities and a residential
paradise built for man’s best friend. From step-in wash stations
featuring handheld sprayers and designated drying area, to rooms
dedicated to your dog or cat, pet considerations are one of the
latest elements in home design. Your pet is a part of your family
and pet-friendly design can accommodate up to 170 square feet
of your home. For some homeowners this designated space for a
pet can also be shared space in the mud, laundry or utility rooms.
Using space as a goal from the kitchen redo, creating space in the
laundry room for your pet can be easily attained by purchasing a
stacked washer and dryer unit.
This space saver can help expand the options for your furry
friend’s tub or basin, toys and bed.
Carpeting and flooring are also a top consideration—the more
durable and easy to clean,
the better. The list of musthave flooring includes
laminate, stone, marble,
bamboo and cork. For
homeowners leaning
toward hardwood, bamboo
or carpet, each will need
to be properly pre-treated
