Not only are pets a part of the family, but oftentimes they are our best friends and important members of the family! All pet owners know there are days we love our pets more than we like some of the people we have to see out and about! So it is no wonder that these days homeowners are making specific design requests to accommodate their fur babies. Our BDS team loves pets, we think our Roxy is of course the best, so we are always excited to team up with a family to make some pet centered designs for their home remodel!
Whether your fur baby is a pup like Roxy or a kitty who runs the home, we want to help your home function for every member of your family. We also want to make sure we help keep those special family members safe during the remodel process! It can be stressful for them to have people in and out of their home, and our team is mindful of this and has plans in place to help. We start off by discussing with each of our homeowners the number and types of pets in the home. We also want to make sure we understand a bit of their personality - will they welcome us into the home each day, or be a little more skittish to their guests. Another important factor is what their location will be during the day while the team is at work. We want to make sure we have a plan in place to prevent them from getting out of the house while supplies are being loaded and unloaded. We also want to ensure that your much loved fluff ball doesn't leave fluff in any freshly painted areas. Once we know where all animals will be, our team will make sure to alert all workers and deliverers with signage.
Now that all the much loved animals have been accounted for and planned for, it is time to design for them! Pet centered designs are becoming more and more popular, and pet owners are becoming so creative in what will really be helpful to pet owners but also flow and look aesthetically beautiful in the home! The most popular design component homeowners with pets address is the flooring options for their home. There are so many other great design additions though to think about! Here are a few ideas our BDS team has seen recently and think are pretty brilliant additions to any home with pets:
Our team at BDS knows you love your animals, and we love them too! We want to help make your home beautiful and functional for everyone in the home! The team also wants you to know that not only have we planned how to best accommodate you through the remodel, but also your pets.
